Early Spring Nails,

I know it's too early, but the sun was out and I was feeling like Spring was on the horizon (even though we have a couple of months to go) so I painted my nails to match, I chose a pale blue polish with fimo cane flowers and jewels.

Here is the look I will be achieving:

Step one: clean all nails of any old polish residue, attend to cuticles and file if necessary.

Step two: layer with a coat of your favourite base coat, I have used OPI original nail envy.

Step three: paint with 1-3 coats of a colour of your choice, I'd go for a pastel. I am using Barry M gelly nail paint in blueberry.

Step four: once that has all dried, get your fimo cane and cut into thin enough slices (unless pre-cut), place a spot of clear nail polish onto the areas you will be applying these two on your nail and place onto the nail using tweezers. I purchased my canes from a local beauty store, however they are available on-line on websites such as Ebay and Amazon.

In this design I am only using this for an accent nail as it looks quite extravagant, however you can apply this design to all of the nails is desired.

Step five: do the same for the jewels, placing them in the empty spaces between the fimo cane. I received mine for Christmas, but I believe they are from New Look. However can be purchased on-line.

Step six: apply a top coat over all on the nails to seal in the polish and your design, this won't ruin the effect of the 3D design but it will help to last for longer. I used OPI rapi-dry top coat.

Step seven: If necessary, clean the edges of the nail with a nail corrector pen or cue-tip dipped in polish remover.

You are finished with your design!

Enjoy!
