You could say that Renee is pretty well known for her nails! She’s always trying new and exciting things with them. Sometimes they are the only pop of colour in her all black ensemble 🙂

This week her nails have a side of caviar to see what it looked like. The lovely Karen at Burnside Beauty & Nails used Ciaté Caviar polish in black pearl for this design. Karen hasn’t used it before so they were both experimenting.

Renee’s Nails with a Side of Caviar

This design was done on her right hand which is her dominant hand and her pen would sit against the inside of that nail, which is how she thinks she lost most of the caviar balls. Other than that, they have lasted much better than she was expecting.

Next time she’ll ask Karen to apply it thicker and Renee will just have to avoid any handwriting while she’s wearing it 🙂

Take care, until next time…keep restyling!

First of all sorry for any confusion caused – we accidentally deleted the original post – argh! So here we are re posting 🙂

This is our Pinteresting challenge #7 for the Pin It and Do It Challenge. The pin that inspired us on Pinterest is Mermaid Slipper Nails by Katy at Nailed It. Check out the tutorial its heaps easy.

So here’s how we started…a metallic green base with pink glitter polish.

We decided to put the glitter part at the tip of the nail. In the tutorial the glitter part is at the bed of the nail. And here’s the end result…What do you think?

This is our Pinteresting challenge #5 for the Pin It and Do It Challenge.

The pin that inspired us on Pinterest is Polka Dot Nails.

So we gave it a go…we used a BBQ skewer to make the dots…Shout out to Michelle for doing Amour’s nails!

Polka Dot – The process

And here is our finished version…

Red and White Polka Dots!

We loved it so much we did it a little more in different colour variations – which one is your favourite? We also found an easier way to do the dots via this pin – DIY Nail Art Tools.

Polka Dots of Many Colours!

We are getting just a little obsessed with the different nail art tutorials out there – Just look at Amour’s new additions to her nail polish collection!
