Nail Art

I wanted to go through more of my nail pictures and add them to my blog. Here it goes....

 I did this one for my cousin's wedding, and the necklace in this picture is the one I wore with my dress. This is two coats of Rimmel London Bare Naked, then I used my It's So Easy, Stripe Rite nail art striper in Gold and painted lines down my nails, then in between each line I used my It's So Easy, Stripe Rite nail art striper in clear glitter. Seche Vite on top.

I saw this design again on the Pretty Project Tumblr, which was originally posted from here. This is two coats of China Glaze For Audrey, then I used my dotting tool and put dots first using Sally Hansen White On, then Revlon Minted, and finally Ulta Taupe on a Rope. Seche Vite on top.

I saw this idea on Cosmetic Cupcake, I used some different colors. I started with two coats of Rimmel London Bare Naked, then put a thick stripe of Sinful Colors Soul Mate in varying areas on my nails. On top I added plaid lines using Color Club Art Club nail art brush in White. Seche Vite on top.

I saw this idea on Youtube, where Cutepolish offers a great tutorial. First I put down two coats of Sally Hansen White On, then after it dried I dipped my nails into rubbing alcohol, then pressed a piece newspaper down onto the nail and the newsprint transferred. I sealed it in with a coat of Seche Vite.

This is two coats of Finger Paints Artist's Inspiration. I added a few stripes starting with It's So Easy, Stripe Rite nail art striper in White, Black, Yellow and Sinful Colors Nail Art in Sunset. Seche Vite on top.



 I saw this idea on Chloe's Nails, she does amazing Scotch tape manis. I did this by painting my nails first with Sally Hansen Black Out, then put a coat of Seche Vite to help it dry. When it wasn't tacky anymore I used craft scissors that I bought at Wal-Mart and cut Scotch tape with them. I put the tape down on half my nail and painted the bare area with Sally Hansen Wet Cement, and pulled off the tape immediately after painting. I repeated this for each nail and then added Seche Vite on top to smooth things over.

This is two coats of Butter London Wallis, then on my ring finger I used strips of Scotch tape to create a little design with Color Club Revvvolution. Again, I saw this technique on Chloe's Nails blog. Seche Vite on top.

This is two coats of Finger Paints Catwalk Queen. I taped off the skin around my nail using Scotch tape and then used a straw and Ulta Deep Desire to create the splatter design. I dipped the end of the straw in Deep Desire then placed it over my nail and blew into the other end of the straw. Seche Vite on top.

This was inspired by Cosmetic Cupcake because she does amazing nail art and has every nail something different, in the same color scheme. I did this one to go with a dress for my friend's bachelorette party!

This was for my friend's wedding that I was in, I did this for the rest of the bridesmaids. Her colors were dark brown (like the tip) and light blue and she helped me come up with this design! This is two coats of Finger Paints Artist's Inspiration followed with a coat of China Glaze Crackle Glaze in Cracked Medallion. I hand painted the tips using Sinful Colors Rich in Heart and painted lines underneath using Color Club Art Club nail art striper in Light Blue.
