Rose Nails Tutorial

Hey guys! I'm here today to show you how I did my rose nails using acrylic paint. 

Products Used:

• CND Stickey Base Coat
• Essie In the Cabanna 
• Essie After School Boy Blazer
• Craft Smart Acrylic Paints in Pink Chiffon, Bright Magenta, and Apple Tart
• Medium and Small Dotting Tools
• HK Girl Top Coat

First off, paint your nails two coats of a light turquoise blue on your pinky, middle finger and thumb. Then paint two coats of a dark navy blue on your ring and pointer fingers.  

Then take your medium dotting tool and a light pink acrylic paint and make 4-6 blobs/circle shapes on the navy nails. The base for the roses depends on how large your nail bed is. Don't put too many on, otherwise the roses are going to be very compact. 

Now take your darker pink color and your small dotting tool and outline the light pink bases using a "C" shape. Taking the small color and dotting tool, make little lines or "C" shapes inside the light pink. 

Using your green paint and small dotting tool, draw the leaves to your roses using a triangle shape. 

On the blue nails you are going to make one rose on the bottom edge of your nail. Once again like the other roses you will start with your medium dotting tool and the light pink paint and make a blob. 

Next outline the flower and add little lines or "C" shapes in the middle of the flower with the magenta and small dotting tool. Then to finish it off make two leaves with your green paint and small dotting tool. 

Super cute and perfect for this time of year! :)

~Hope you found this helpful!~

Fox and Flowers Nail Design

Hello, hello! How are we all doing today? Happy April! 

This has to be one of my absolute favorite nail designs ever! It is just super girly and fun! Just for a heads up, it is extremely time consuming but it is just so worth it in the end! 

Products Used

• CND Stickey Base Coat
• Zoya Stephanie 
• Sally Hansen Coral Reef
• Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac
• OPI Alpine Snow
• Milani Green Striper
• Revlon Gold Coin
• Rimmel London Hot Black To Go
• Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Top Coat
• Extra Small, Small and Large Dotting Tool

Let's get started on this design! (Might be a little longer). 

1. Start by painting all ten of your nails a nice nude pink polish. I do not recommend using Zoya's Stephanie because it is quite hard to work with and it takes about 3-4 coats to build up. I am looking for a better polish to replace my Zoya one. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated in the comments below! 
2. Alright, then you will take your white, lilac, and coral and make a simple five petal flower with the small doting tool on all of your nails except for the ring finger. I recommend doing the same/similar number of each color. Personally I feel that it looks better. 
3. After that, place a gold dot with the extra small dotting tool in the center of all the flowers that you just created.
4. Now it is time for the fox. This can be a little tricky, I also had some trouble while created the fox. However, it stilled looked cute in the end. Take your coral polish on your large dotting tool and start about the middle of your nail. Make a "U" shape down to the middle and then keep dragging the polish down until you almost reach the end of your nail. then push the polish back up to the other side and create the other side of the "U" shape. 
5. Use the same coral polish and fill the top of the fox's face in.
6. Then you want to make two little triangles near your cuticle as ears.    
7. Take your black polish and the large dotting tool and make two eyes and a nose.  
8. Lastly for the fox, give her a little flower as a cute accent near one of the ears. 
9. That is now complete! 
10. Take your fast drying top coat and paint it on all of your nails to seal in all of that hard work!

Easter Nail Design

Hi guys! Happy Easter! I am here with yet another nail tutorial! 

First off, start by painting all of your nails with a mint except your ring finger. That one you will paint white. I used Essie Blossom Dandy for the mint color and OPI Alpine Snow for the white. 

After painting all of your nails a solid color, take a yellow striper on your ring finger and make two zig zag lines. This will the start of your chick hatching from an egg. 

Take your yellow striper and fill in the zig zag lines. 

Next you want to make two black dots for the eyes and add a small white dot in the middle of the black one. For the black I used a small dotting tool and for the white I used an extra small dotting tool. After that, use an orange striper and make the chick's little nose. 

On your thumb, use a yellow polish and a large dotting tool make 1/2 of a circle on the side of your nail. This begins your dainty daisy. I used Zoya's Pippa as my choice of yellow. 

Using a white striper, make the petals and fill them in.

On your pointer and pinky nails you will create a row of daisies going across your nail. Using an extra small dotting tool make three yellow dots going horizontally across your nail. Then using a white polish make the petals of the daisies with the same dotting tool. 

On your middle finger you will have the cute little bunny design. To begin, you want to take your large dotting tool and make a circle on one side of your nail. Then using the large dotting tool still, make a smaller circle on top of the big one for the bunny's body.

You can use a white striper for the bunny's ears. I chose to use a pink striper to fill in the ears and create the mouth. Take your small dotting tool and make two black dots for the eyes. 

There you have it! A super cute Easter design! 

~Hope you found this helpful and easy to follow along!~

Quatrefoil Nail Design (Picture Tutorial)

Hey guys! I am here to bring you another nail tutorial and it should be easier to follow so you are able to recreate this design! Let me know in the comment section if I should stick to these picture steps for my future tutorials. :)

Firstly paint your nails with two coats of any color you would like. I used a lavender color by Rimmel London called Sweet Lavender. I have found to really like these polishes because of the brush. The brush makes it easier to apply the polish. Also these polishes do dry in about 60 seconds which is fantastic! 

Secondly, take a medium sized dotting tool and a black polish to create a row of dots down the center of your nails. Make two more rows of dots on either side of your nail. For the black I used Rimmel London Hot Black To Go. 

After the rows of dots, use two of the dots and put two dots on each side to make sort of a cross shape. Some of the dots will be single so you can make it go off the edge. 

Using the same technique in the previous step use your base color a smaller dotting tool and place four dots in the middle of your black cross shape.

Place the lavender on all of the black cross shapes.

And you are finished! All you have to do now is put a top coat on! 

~Hopefully this is a easier way to follow how I created this quatrefoil design.~

Dream Catcher Nail Design

Hi guys! I am finally back with another nail tutorial! 

This design was inspired by the brilliant MissJenFabulous on YouTube. I have talked about her many times. She does the most simple and beautiful nail art. 

Products Used

• CND Stickey Base Coat
• OPI Pulled Out a Plum
• OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons (OPI has such unique and adorable names!)
• Milani Black Striper 
• China Glaze For Audrey 
• Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Top Coat
• Extra Small and Small Dotting Tools

Time for the tutorial! Paint all of your nails with two coats of a purple polish except for your ring finger. That one you will paint a nice nude polish. Now the only nail you have to concentrate on is your ring finger because that is where this cute dream catcher design is placed. To begin the dream catcher you will create a "U" shape towards your cuticle area with the black striper. Next inside there you will make little triangles and it doesn't have to have much rhyme or reason to it. After that is completed, with the black striper still make three evenly spaced out lines straight down from the "U" shape. Then you will grab your extra small dotting tool and place the dots at the small point of the triangles you drew towards the cuticle. After, take your small dotting tool and put two or three dots of your blue polish on the three lines. Finally slap on a fast drying top coat and you are done with this manicure! 

XOXO
