Graduation Nails...

A few days ago both me and Hannah graduated from Nottingham Uni, an emotional and epic day for all! It has been a wonderful 3 years for both of us, and now we're officially adults in the world, thinks are getting serious! However, we refuse to neglect our duties in the nail art department and in true HanDee style, I decided to do some graduation nails to top the standard manicure...

Apologies for the bad quality of the first photo, and the chipped nail in the second! You can't win 'em all! Anyway, all I did here was to paint a base of nude nail polish, paint the tips with white, use a black nail art pen to draw and fill the hat before highlighting the edges with white, and use a white nail art pen to draw the scroll before highlighting the edges with black. You might need an extra steady hand to do this but it isn't as hard as you think and well worth the reaction! 

What do you think?

Pop Art Nails...

So far on HanDee Nail Tips we've shown you some pretty intricate designs, which most people have said they would find hard to do. Today I thought I'd experiment and try something a little easier. All you have to do for these nails is:

1) Choose a base colour to paint all your nails

2) Choose another colour/two colours to paint the tips

3) Draw on white polka dots randomly, using a nail art pen

4) Draw on random patterns at the tips, using a black nail art pen

Although I didn't set out to do pop art nails, when they were done it reminded me of that kind of style, so there you have it! Some simple pop art nail art! 

Apologies for the lack of step by step pictures - next time I will definitely remember to photograph as I go. 

Do any of you have a style you want to challenge us with? We're ready to try anything!
