Pastel Dream Catcher Nails

Seriously McDreamy nails with a splash of glitter!



You will need:


Base coat - Essence studio nails 24/7
White - Face of Australia Cool COtton
Pastel purple - OPI You're SUch A Budapest
Pastel orange - China Glaze Sun of a Peach
Pastel blue - Sally Hansen Barracuda 
Pastel coral - China Glaze Neon & On & On
Pastel mint green - Highlight of My Summer
Pastel lime green - Grass is Lime Greener
Black - Face of Australia Scream
Gold - OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby
Silver - OPIIt's Frosty OUtside
Flakie/shimmer - Essie As Gold As It Gets
Chunky colourful glitter - Models Own Boogie Nights & Freak Out!
Top coat - Essence Quick Dry TOp Coat
Makeup sponges
Thin nail art brush



Start with a base coat and then paint your nails opaque white and let them dry completely


Now we gonna get our ombre on! For a more intense ombre tutorial please check out how to ombre, been there done that!

Pair up your colours, layer them on your makeup sponge and gently dap them on your nails. You may need 2-3 applications depending on the strength of colour you are seeking


Now you're bound to have made a mess so while they are drying take some polish remover one a Q-tip or small makeup brush and clean up around your cuticles and where ever else the polish managed to get 


Now for the beautiful dream catcher

Dip your nail art brush in black polish and create the outline of a half moon at the cuticle


Fill the half moon in by drawing small connecting triangles to represent the string


Draw 3 lines from the half moon down the nail and make small flicks at the tip to form small feathers



Apply a coat of flakie or shimmer polish to all the nails

Take a dotting tool or toothpick and place a few gold and silver dots down the these lines 



I chose to only place dream catchers on 3 of my nails. On the remaining 2 I added some chunky purple and blue glitter

Give your nails a few minutes to dry and add a shiny top coat and enjoy your dreamalicious nails!
