Colorful Butterfly & Flowers Nails

These nails were inspired by someone I follow on Instagram. I saw her design and loved it so much that I wanted to try to re-create it. I did these nails at night and didn't get round to taking some nice tutorial photos, sorry! 

Basically I used Revlon Peach Smoothie #345 as the base color. I applied one coat so it gives the effect of not having any nail polish on... my nails are nude! :-P Then using my 2 way nail polishes I did all the detail with the flowers & butterflies. On a side note I did these nails over a week ago and they still look really good! 

Oh and the Revlon nail polish is part of their scented range so not only did my nails look really cool, they also smelt really nice.

Below is a close up of the design. 

Is there a design which you have re-created or want to?

Flower Power

My friend makes beautiful hand made cards and she had these cute flower motifs to put onto the cards. Her mum loved them and she knew I had a craft line so she asked me to make them into brooches for her. Well I knew this was going to be a sinch to do so of course I said yes.

These are the things you need to make a simple brooch: 

Hot Glue Gun, Brooch backs & any sort of motif

So as easy as 1,2,3 I got my Hot Glue Gun warmed up and 

glued the brooch to the back of the flower. Like so

And here is the final product

The diameter of the flower is 4cm

I wouldn't sell something like this through my craft store, I would probably stick the flower motifs onto some lace before making them into a brooch so they would be bigger. You can make almost anything into a brooch as long as you have some brooch backs and a hot glue gun!

 

Here are some of my brooches.

I used a butterfly Iron-on Transfer and a paper scrapbooking flower and glued a brooch on the back.
