Carnival Nails

Carnival Nails

Late last night I was rather bored and couldn't sleep so I decided to try and make a youtube video. Apart from this video I have only ever made one other video, but that was for a university project! I hope you'll understand that this video is obviously a little rusty! 

What I Have Used

Before I put anything on my nails I massage them with Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream, this helps keeps cuticles in good shape and prevents skin flaking around the nails. I have then coated my nails in Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Strengthener, this is because my nails getting very weak and often flake, this polish solves all of these problems and also makes an amazingly smooth base coat. I have chosen to use models own blooboo for the main base colour of my Carnival Nails, the lightness of the colour contrasts strongly with Rimmel London Hot Shot pink and the Technic Carnival glitter. I have finished with O.P.I Top Coat as I highly praise this topcoat in terms of anti-chipping.

Here is the video, it is on youtube as Carnival Nails! The video isn't very good quality or standard but I don't have a technical camera or anything like that, I have just used my webcam, so all I can do is apologise for that! I didn't find to too difficult to make a video so if you feel that you have designs or ideas that you would like to show people I would definitely recommend giving this a try!

I know these are the most exciting nails, but I was bored and tired and just wanted to try something quick and easy for my first video recording. Even so, these are quite nice just for everyday wear for spring/summer or for a night out to contrast with a plain dress.

The main aspect of these nails is the contrast, so you could experiment with different base colours just as long as that all contrast each other in a crazy carnival kind of style!
