After Illamasqua released their collection of Speckle nail varnish's, Speckle nails have been everywhere. For Easter, I have decided to take on the challenge of creating my own Mini Egg inspired speckle nails.
How I did it
1. Paint the nails in a a pastel base colour.
2. Using a dark brown polish... apply, using a cocktail stick, a couple of "speckles"
3. Go over each nail, using the other end of the cocktail stick with a lighter brown polish to create more speckles.
4. I then used a nail art pen available from Claire's accessories to add the odd black speckle to each nail
5.Finally apply a substantial coat of clear nail varnish.
What did i use?
Due to being on holiday I only had a small selection of nail varnish colours, so I had to make do with what i had and was forced to mix the majority of the base colours up using white nail polish.
Base Colours:
•Models Own "Apple Pie"
•MUA "Frozen Yogurt"
•17 Lasting finish "Sherbet Lemon" (I used this as it was)
•Rimmel Pro "25"
•Models Own "Feeling Blue"
Speckles:
•NYC "246 Park Ave"
•Claires accessories- Two way nail pen in Black
Happy Easter!
