Frosted Tips: relief from the heat


Seeing as the weather has been relentless the past few weeks in bombarding us with heat waves, I decided to create a look that was frosty and cool.


Taking inspiration from the much-loved Ombre Nail, I created these frosted tips by painting my nails a cool turquoise colour and then using a sponge to lightly dab on the silver. I must admit though that I wasn't able to photograph them quite how they look in real life, on my hands they actually look much more "chilly" - for lack of a better word.


Painting the silver nail polish directly onto the sponge is the best way to achieve this look as it's easy to control how much paint goes on the nail, and you can dab it here you want it to get even and smooth coverage.

Also, please excuse the look of my cuticles! My hands were really dry when I photographed these!
