I've seen the zig-zag nail around before, but I felt like putting a twist on it and trying out ombre zig-zag. If I'd tried to do this, this time last year, it would have been a disaster. But, overtime i'm slowly adopting a steadier hand. I used Models Own nail polish, (surprise surprise) in the shades Pastel Pink, Pink Blush, and Raspberry Crush. To create this design, I started by painting my nails with a base-coat, then with two coats of Pastel Pink. I then used the side of Pink Blush' nail brush, to paint a straight line 3/4 down the nail, and painted diagonally upwards from each side to the edge of the nail. I then did the same over the top with Raspberry Crush.
My exams start next Tuesday, which is my excuse as to why I haven't been blogging much recently. I can't wait until the summer, so I can get my blog back on. Like always, I've left my revision very last minute, so instead of enjoying the rare appearance of English sun, I'll be stuck inside with my head in a textbook. Good luck to any of you who are also doing exams, I feel your pain! But just stay focused and we can all do it!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend,
These look absolutely amazing, i wish i was better at nail art! Good luck with the exams xx
