My shaky hands prevent me from doing any sort of tricky nail art but I also don’t have the patience either! The most elaborate I’ve done is painting the tips a different colour. Also, can’t put on false lashes but I think it’s the fear of ruining my entire eye makeup when attempting to put them on that’s holding me back.

Thank God. Thought I was only eejit who couldn’t do liquid or gel eyeliner. Always so envious of other people’s. Ditto fake tan.considering I can’t even wait for ordinary nail Polish to dry don’t think attempts at nail art would end well.

You did a good job missus!

I am hardly able to do ORDINARY nail jobs never mind nail art! I just gaze at Lynnie’s in awe

I will confess myself 100% mystified by nail art. DO NOT WANT.

No interest in nail art – I don’t even like french manicures. French pedis give me the shivers.

I can’t do eyeliner either. I might get one ok but the other won’t match so at almost 42 I’m giving up.

Not too hot at contouring either, bit I’m hoping to master it.

Same as thalia & atkin- cannot do winged eyeliner. I would love to be able to draw an adele-esque line over my peepers but i just cannot!
Im too lazy to bother with nail art,not sure i particularly like most of it anyway- prefer plain colur.

Eyeliner on my lids is impossible!cake gel or pencil it dosent matter I end up either blotting the liquid onto my eyeballs or up near my eyebrows!!

Tanning I’m not too bad at actually but I just use the St.Moritz foam it’s actually fool proof because you see the colour as it goes on then leaves a nice colour after ya shower.

I’m an awful in coordinated one for false eyelashes.used I do them a lot for dancing but in the last year I’ve not been able to go near them at all!

Emma it looks great!

False lashes hate me as well, though I’m only tried them a few times.

Those who can’t master eyeliner, I find the Rimmel Exaggerate is amazing for drawing lines! And there’s some good YouTube tutorials, I think I learnt off Sarah Victor’s one

I feel like they’re watching me… but in a kinda cool/creepy way! To do those nails, do the black first, put on the ring enforcer thingies, paint the Bandage colour over the main nail bits and over the enforcer thingies a little, then you will have bigger crescents of black polish.

Little unsolicited advice there!

I used to do nail art a bit when I lived overseas out of SHEER boredom, I used to teach Spanish teenagers (I felt like I aged 10 years doing that, never again), and I used to get lots of compliments from them. I was shit at anything other than lines and dots though…

I’ve never tried false lashes but would like to one day… I’ve self-tanned but I can never work up the nerve to go darker than 1 shade, which makes fake-tanning myself a bit pointless really!

False lashes for me too. End up nearly burning the eyes out of my head with the glue when I try to put them on. Admittedly I’ve only tried twice – but that was enough!
