Map nail art = new fave.

As you well know, we do have a little obsession with maps, so it's unsurprising that we did get overly excited when we spotted these last week! 

Not only does this idea produce nails that look fab, but they’re super easy to create too!

1. Paint your nails with a white/cream varnish, We suggest MAC’s Faint of Heart Nail Lacquer. It’s virtually un-chippable and it makes for an un-streaked under coat.

2. Soak nails in alcohol for 5 minutes.

3. Press nails to map and hold – why not pick a location that you love? Use different maps to add a variation of colour and scale.

4. Paint with clear varnish immediately after it dries.

 Of course it doesn’t stop there with maps, you can be as inventive as you like! How about sticking to the Ellie Ellie collections and decorate your nails using dictionaries or vintage story books? You could even use some old scripts or inspirational quotes too! 

 We'd love to see some examples of your nail art, send 'em in to press@ellieellie.co.uk!
