Rub-ons!

Seeing as my work involves a lot of craft related stuff, I’m always looking at random craft supplies and seeing what I can attach to my nails. So after a little bit of experiment I figured out you can actually use scrapbooking rub-ons!

Simply paint your nails in a good base colour and once it’s dried, you put the rub-ons on just like you would onto paper, add top coat and voila! Just need to make sure you cut the designs out rather than trying to rub off from a large sheet, otherwise they tend to shift a lot and it smudges up the design.

I found these little houses on a sheet from Kaisercraft at the last craft show here – they were the only patterns small enough to fit on a nail, but they are very cute!  For my polishes I used China Glaze Re-fresh Mint as my main colour and OPI Alpine Snow for the dots. 

It’s not nearly as neat as it could be, but this was one of my first attempts of doing my nails this way and I think it still turned out pretty well!
