Pastel Nails NOTD

Hi!! :) Today I’m looking at the S/S trend of PASTELS. I’m sure you’ve seen pastels all over the magazines and everywhere in the stores, and it’s actually a trend I really like. The ice cream shades are so pretty and girly! But if you’re not sure you’re ready to rock head to toe pastels, today I’m going to show you an alternative – some pastel NOTDs.

 I actually don’t have a whole lot of pastel nail polishes (I shall be investing soon!) so the following looks are all created with these shades:

L-R Avon Nailwear Pro in Luxe Lavender, Barry M Nail Paint in Peach Melba, Avon Nailwear Pro in Blue Shock, Nails Inc in Haymarket and Nails Inc in Elizabeth Street.

Look One

Candy coloured nails - lovely! I painted each nail a different pastel shade and finished with Seche Vite top coat for a nice gloss.

Look Two

Use a white nail art pen to add random polka dots for a cute look!

Look Three

On my other hand I used ELF Matte Finisher Topcoat to mattify the nails, I think this is a really nice look for pastel shades!

Look Four

Some matte white tips for a cute pastel take on a French manicure!

Look Five

Take it further by adding another stripe for a candycane look!

Look Six

Adding little dots or lines onto the white stripes give your nails a slightly Aztec feel, hitting another trend.

What do you think? Would you try any of these easy looks to add some pastel prettiness into your look? Which is your favourite?

Let me know!
