Rio Professional Nail Art



My dad and his girlfriend bought me a Rio Professional Nail Art set for Christmas and I have been practicing…


I wanted to go for bright summery colours; I’m getting a bit bored of winter now, so I opted for Rimmel’s Lasting Finish in Apricot Punch, which has a delicious fruity smell when it dries! 






As you can see there are eight colours to chose from. I wanted a contrasting colour to go over the top that would stand out without being too ‘loud’ so I decided to go for silver. 





The nail art tubes come with both a brush and a pen; I find the pen easier to control, especially when I first started using the set.







I decided to paint silver stripes on top of the apricot varnish, these are easy to do, especially with the pen, so I can practice with the set and work up to something a little more exciting!






There is a little tube of gold glitter in the box, and some rhinestones too:





I do love a bit of glitter, but I wouldn't usually wouldn’t go for rhinestones, but I think they could add a bit of sparkle to darker colours for a night out...maybe just one or two? I'm not sure...I will try those out next time!
