For me this summer is all about interesting and colourful nails. I’ve recently branched in to fake nails too which I just can’t seem to get enough of lately!

Being inspired my best friend Emily who created amazing leopard print nails just with the use of different colour nail varnishes and brushes I decided to jazz my nails up too!

Nails attempt 1: Strawberries

What you will need

• 1 red nail varnish
• 1 green nail varnish
• 1 yellow/gold nail varnish
• tooth picks or if you’re more privelidged: nail brushes for the dots!

It doesn’t take a brainbox to work this out but I’ll go through the steps anyway. Firstly paint all your nails in red. Wait a couple of minutes for it to dry, then add the green stalk effect on the top of your nails. To do this I used a tooth pick, dipped it in the Green Grass Models Own nail varnish and created points to mimic the stalk on a strawberry. After I finished this I dipped another tooth pick into 25 Carat Gold Models Own nail varnish and lightly made some blobs on my nails to get the seed effect. And there you have it, beautiful Strawberry Nails! Heres my results using a bit of iphoneography:

Nails attempt 1: Watermelon

• 1 pink nail varnish
• 2 different colour green nail varnish
• 1 black nail varnish
• tooth picks or if you’re more privelidged: nail brushes for the dots!

I decided to make all my nails a different pattern to contrast with the strawberries. For example one nail i painted all dark green and put Slate Green Models Own over the top to create the watermelon skin effect. On another I painted it all pink, adding a green tip at the top of my nail. I then added dots for the seeds. Just have fun with this one! Results:

The nail varnishes featured above are my absolute favourite. Check them out on ModelsOwn.com- they have a ridiculous range on their site full of beautiful colours. From Glitter to Matte you can’t go wrong with Models Own!

And thats it! xo
