Rainbow Nail Art - Step by Step 'How To' Guide


As promised in my Revlon 'Style of Wight' post last week, here's that step-by-step 'How To' guide to recreating these Rainbow nail designs created by Jessie J's go-to nail gal, Jenny Longworth, at home.


Step 1: Apply your base coat to make your nail art last longer and prevent staining.



Step 2: Apply your base colour - here Jenny uses Revlon Nail Enamel in 'Dreamer'. She advises doing this in three strokes - one down the middle, then another either side.



Step 3: Paint a Rainbow! Using a fine nail art brush start the Rainbow by painting the bottom tier on first being careful not to overload the brush (blot any excess on a tissue).



Step 4: Using the white as a guide, add in your additional brightly coloured rainbow stripes, layering them above the white. Once you've built up your confidence using these shades, add in a darker stripe under the white one. Don't worry if you go over the edge of the nail - you can tidy this up using a concealer brush dipped in nail varnish remover afterwards. Some of the lighter colours may need a second coat but you can tidy as you go.



Step 5: Finally, seal the deal with a top coat making sure to 'float' it over the nails so as not to drag the polish.



Jenny used the following Revlon products to create this look:
Basecoat - Nail Enamel in Dreamer, Whitest White, Fashionista, Siren, Fushia Fever, and Sassy - Nail Art Detailer Brush - Topcoat.

Hipper Than The Average Flower Delivery: Interflora's Multi-Coloured Rainbow Roses


Whilst being a good daughter and ordering a bouquet to be sent to my parents for their wedding anniversary, I was practically smacked in the face by these amazing multi-coloured roses from Interflora.  These crazy rainbow coloured fresh roses (I specify because I first assumed they must be silk) are hand dyed and come with a clear glass vase although personally I'd prefer to see them in a short, flat-coloured ceramic or plastic container - imagine a line of them in alternate yellow, pink and cerulean blue block vases down the centre of a long table for dinner parties... #LOVE
