What do you think of this design?

How much do you love these metallic Nails? Because we do, a lot.

Here we're going to tell you what we used to create this simple but effective look.

Compared with some Nail Art designs, this look was very easy to do - and you don't need to worry about having a super steady hand either.

As always start with a base coat, a strengthing one is best if you're constantly changing your Nails. Sally Hansen is a personal favourite.

I then chose a silver shade from Nails Inc, Cambridge Terrace. I find this colour really stands out with three thin coats applied. It glides on really easily, so you don't need to worry about air bubbles forming between each layer.

Available from Littlewoods, £14

Once dried I used No. 7's new glitter top coats on both of my ring fingers. This glitter nail varnish is perfect for sparkling nails - it also comes in gold too.

The glitter looks good also painted on a clear nail, but there is no background colout to it, just to let you know.

Available from Boots, £8

Then to create the dots I used black and white Rio Nail Art pens. I have the silver collection which consists of bold colours.

    I like it too.. metallic nails play big role to our nails. I was so amazed with its gorgeous looks that appear in nails.

    It is a pity the image of the nail art is not sharper, as it is hard to appreciate the look.
