Metallic magic: The festival trend that’s everywhere this season

If you're heading to Longitude this weekend, or any other festival this summer, you've no doubt already started planning your attire.

One accessory we love for adding some short-term bling to your look is a metallic temporary tattoo. These easy-to-apply tatts are available in a huge range of designs, from simple line drawings to elegant jewellery-style creations. But what's on offer and what's the best way to wear them? Let's take a look…

Where to find them
Both high street and online stores have a variety of foil tatts this summer, and here are a few we'll definitely be trying:

Mini Metallic Arrow Temporary Tattoos, €4.99 for two sheets, Claire's

 

Unique Freak Metallic Temporary Tattoos, €7 for one sheet, Missguided.eu

 

Desert Dweller By Child Of Wild Tattoos, €27 for four sheets, FlashTat.com

 

Our favourite ways to wear them
Go loud and proud or keep it subtle, the choice is yours…

1. No need to shell out on new jewellery, just tattoo it on for the day:

 

2. Go all out and co-ordinate your nails, outfit and other accessories with your tatts:

 

3. Or stay simple with a tiny arrow or message on your arm, shoulder, wrist or ankle:

Happy tattooing!
