Fruity fimo nails

Hey guys,

So I know I've been AWOL for a while but today I now face my first ever proper blog post.

I've actually got my first ever job tomorrow eeek! And it's predominantly on the computer so I thought I'd do my nails in hope of getting that cute secretary thing were the keyboard makes those cute (or in my sisters opinion) annoying noises! 

I thought as the weather was surprisingly  sunny today I would go for pink tips and to add a bit of cuteness I also tried out my first go with fimo fruit nail slices.

I got the nail slices really cheap from a place on EBay for around £2 which in my mind is an absolute bargain as there are so many you get and they come in a really nice box which separates them all too.

Luckily I am naturally blessed by having nails that grow very long without getting skanky and breaking but if you wanted to try this idea on false acrylic nails it work just as well (I did it on my best friend using plain false nails which I got around 20 from the £1 shop)

At the time of doing my nails I wasn't planning on doing a blog post so that’s why I haven’t taken step by step photos so if you need further explanations just comment below and I’ll be happy to help.

METHOD

1) Paint a base nude coat on all nails - I used Sally Hansen nude shimmer but collection 2000 seemed to work better on my friends as its more pinky and helps to blend the two pinks.

2 Using masking tape as an outline paint pink tips on each nail (I did this around 3 times) and I found it better to have a nail varnish which had gone slightly gloopy as it helps the fimo fruit to stick (you can leave a nail varnish pot ajar for about 10/15 minutes to achieve this effect)

3 whilst the pink tips are still sticky place the fimo fruit on the nail and hold in place using tweezers (I found it easier to use tweezers on myself but bare hands when doing others) and hold the fruit in place with a dotting tool until dry.

4) Once the nail is completely dry drop 1 drop of Sally Hansen diamond nails on each fimo fruit to ensure application

5) When the polish is dry coat the full nail twice all over in a clear top coat (preferably one of good quality) I used Barry m - clear

& voila fruit nails!
