Let it Snow or Not- Snowflake Winter Nail Design

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a good winter, or a least trying to get through it. If you live in a cold environment or really anywhere it has been a cold winter for everyone, even the people that live in a normally warmer environment. Anyways this week we will be creating a let is snow nail design even if we are all tired of the snow, I know I am. But for some reason I still wanted to create a snow themed nail design.

 Snowflake Nail Design

Here are the nail polishes and nail art tools used for this nail design: 

Base and top coat- - CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Nail polish-  Zoya Enchanted- Saint, JulieG- Blueberry Fizz- texture, and Revlon Holographic Pearls (for some reason I didn't take a photo of this polish, so I garbed a photo from online.) 

Acrylic paint- white 

Nail art tools- medium and small dotting tool, detail brush, thin striping brush, and a small detail brush. 

Other- glass or cup of water to clean off nail art brushes.

Let's start this snow filled nail design!

As always start off with a thin layer of base coat.

Let the base coat dry and then on your index and pinky finger nail, polish that with a periwinkle blue polish (I used Zoya- Saint), then on your thumb, middle and ring finger nail polish that with a glittery or textured periwinkle blue polish (I used  JulieG- Blueberry Fizz this is a textured polish). 

On my right hand I polished the thumb and ring finger with JulieG- Blueberry Fizz and the index, middle, and pinky with Zoya- Saint.

Then for an added touch, I just had to add some holo to this design. Take a holographic top coat (I used Revlon Holographic Pearls) one that has a little bit of holo in it, and apply that to all of the nails over both of the polishes.

Then let your base colors dry, and now on the snowflakes.This design like most of the designs I do, it is just random patterns/ lines that are put together, their is no set way of doing this design. 

All of the snowflakes should start off with a star like pattern, then add some arrow like lines on each line, you can have a lot of lines, one, or just a few.

On the thumb, the snowflake that is on the lower right hand corner I added some triangle shapes in the center of the snowflake.  

Then on all of the nails with a dotting tool, you can make some small dots for some small snowflakes.

To be extra random on the pinky finger nail on the left hand, I added some swirls on the side of the nail.

Then on the right hand on the ring finger nail, I took a stripping brush and made some line lines that looked kind of like icicles, with two small star shapes for snowflakes.

Once you have your snowflakes the way you like apply a top coat to protect your nails from the cold and snowy weather, or really just from chipping to soon.

Hope all of you enjoyed this snowflake nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!  

Happy Belated New Years- Purple & Gold Glitter Gradient

Hello everyone! Sorry that it has been a few weeks since I did a post, a lot of unexpected things have come up and I have not had a chance to sit down a do a nail toutial. Now I have a chance to do one. Anyways I hope everyone had a nice and safe New Year, and for today we will kind of be creating a belated New years nail design, a purple and gold glitter gradient, yes we will be creating this design in the middle of January, I thought this design was very pretty and really could be worn at anytime. 

 

Purple and Gold Glitter Gradient 

 Here are the nail polishes and nail art tools used for this simple design:

 

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat

Nail polishes- Fun Lacquer- Million Dollar Dream and Zoya- Urban Grunge- Finley

Nail art tools- a makeup sponge

That's all you will need!  

 Let's start this pretty glitter gradient design that is great for any party or just for fun! 

 

 

 Purple and Gold Glitter Gradient

Start off by applying a thin layer of base coat to all of your nails, then let that dry.

Just like last year, this year will be filled with lot of holographic glitter polishes (gotta love the holo!) Once your base coat has dried polish all of your nails with a dark purple holo polish, or just a glitter purple polish.

 

 

 Purple and Gold Glitter Gradient

Let that dry, then take a makeup sponge and polish a little bit of a gold glitter polish on to a makeup sponge, then dab that on the nails, focusing most of the glitter near the tip of the nails. You will need to repeat this step for each nail and you may also need to cut some of the sponge if the polish dries out.

I actually thought that I sponge a little to much glitter near the tips of the nails and if I was to do this again I would have not done a much, but I still feel like this turned out well.  

Then with the brush that is in the polish, with very little on the brush polish some glitter more up the nail, so it looks like the gold glitter is almost fading into the purple.      

 

 

 Purple and Gold Glitter Gradient 

Once you have your glitter gradient with the right amount of glitter, you can now apply a top coat to seal in your design and keep your nails nice and shinny, and to help them last through any party.  

Their you go now you have a fun glitter nail design that is great for any party that you go to throughout the year, or even just for fun!

Sorry that I did not get a chance to post this in time for New Year, even though this is great design for New Years, I still though it would be nice to show all of you.

Hope you enjoyed this glitter gradient nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!
