Start off with a thin layer of base coat on your nails.

Let that dry and then polish all of your nails with a shimmer light blue ( I used Zoya- Rayne.)

Let your base color dry and then we will start with the Easter eggs in the grass, that will be on all of the nails except the thumb nail, that is where are main design will be.

For the grass on all five nails, have three different shades of green; a dark green, medium and light green. On your stripper brush start off with any shade of green, and then near the tip of the nail make a lot of lines, that look like blades of grass, that fill up the tip of your nail. Switch between the three shades of green and overlap the colors, also their is no need to clean off your brush each time, it actually looks better if the colors start to kind of blend. 

For the Easter eggs I deiced to keep them very simple, for each egg color just take the brush that is in the polish and make a egg shape with that brush, their is no need for small details or designs on the eggs unless you want to. For the egg color I used a light blue, light purple, yellow, light green and pink, I just put which ever color I wanted for the eggs on the nails.

The first part of this nail design that was the easy part, the design on the thumb is a little bit harder. 

Next we will make our Easter bunny in the basket, he is hiding so that's way we can only see his ears. First we will make his basket, take a thin detail brush with brown paint on it and make the bottom part of the basket and then make a curved line for the handle, you will need to go over this a few times to be opaque. If you would like once the basket has dried you can outline the basket with black paint and then add a few lines on the basket for a little more detail.

For the bunny ears, take a liner brush with some white paint on it and make two ears in the middle of the basket and then once that is dry, add two small pink lines to finish the ears.

For the Easter eggs do the same as the the other nails just place four eggs in the basket and then two eggs on each side of the basket.

Pug Love Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today we will be creating another cute puppy nail design, this time we will be making a pug on our nails, with a paw print and a heart. This design will only be on our thumb and ring finger nail and the other nails will just have the polish with no design on them.

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

 

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

Nail Polishes- Glam Polish Experiment 626- Nobody gets left behind or forgotten, Glam Polish Experiment 626- I'm sorry I bit you and pulled your hair..., and OPI Hawaii- Do you take Lei away. 

Acrylic paint- white, black, red, blue, yellow.

Nail art tools- thin detail and liner brushes.

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


Let's start this cute pug love nail design!

Paw print and heart design

As always start off with a thin layer of base coat and let that dry.

Then polish your thumb and ring finger nail with a sea foam green (I used Glam Polish Experiment 626- Nobody gets left behind or forgotten), and then your index, middle and pink nail, polish those nails with a light coral pink (I used Glam Polish Experiment 626- I'm sorry I bit you and pulled your hair...)

Let that dry.

Then for the nail art we will kind of keep the design simple, by just having the design on the thumb and ring finger nails. First we will start off with the paw print and heart on the ring finger nail.

Paw Print

First we will be putting down a white base for our paw print and then we will fill that in. Take a thin detail brush with white paint on it and make a small white circle near the tip of the nail. 

Let that dry and then with a beige polish and the brush that comes in the polish fill in the white circle, you may need to go over that a few times to be fully opaque.

Once that has dried take some pink paint and make three small dots and then a larger dot under those dots for the paw print. 

Heart

Now on to the heart that goes above the paw print, with a small detail brush with red paint on it make a heart shape, and then fill that in with the red paint.

Now on to the adorable pug, we will once again be making a white base for our puppies head, ears, and paws. Take a liner brush with white paint on it and make a large circle in the middle of your nail, you may need to go over this a few time to be opaque. Then make two ear shapes on the sides of your puppies head, and then fill that in with brown paint. 

Once the large circle/ your puppies head is dry fill that in with a beige polish, using the brush that is the the polish, you will also need to go over this one more time so his head will be fully opaque. 

Also if you would like you can outline your puppies head with brown paint, or you can skip this step if it is a little to hard, but I just thought it looked better outlined.

Once the beige polish has dried we will make the face mask part of his face, take a detail brush with brown paint on it and make two circles that connect, their will also be a curved line at the top that will connect the two circles, then where his mouth will be, make another curved line that will also connect. Then fill in this part, making sure to go over this part two times with brown paint. 

Let that dry, and then we will make his facial features. Starting with his eyes make to large black dots and then two smaller white dots in the middle of the black dots.

For his nose make a small oval shape in the middle of his eyes.

For his mouth make two curved lines coming from his nose and then add a small pink line for his tongue. 

Next we need to add his two paws. First make the outline shape for his paws and then fill that in with the beige polish, do this twice. Once that dries make three small pink dots and then a larger dot for his paw prints. Also you may need to re-outline the paws if you polished over the outline.

Once you have your pug design the way you like/love apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it last. 

I really liked how this design turned out, it turned out to be so cute yet simple. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this pug puppy nail design!
  
See you next time for more nail fun!

Hello Kitty- Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today we will be creating a Hello Kitty design, I have created a Hello Kitty design before, but I just felt like creating another one for all of you Hello Kitty fans out their that also love nails too. Growing up I was a big Hello Kitty fan, I do still like Hello Kitty that is why I decided it would be fun to create another Hello Kitty design, that has some spring colors. 

Hello Kitty Nail Design

Here are the nail polishes and nail art tools used for the cute Hello Kitty nail design:

 

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

Nail polishes- Finger paints- Tiffany imposter, OPI- Hello Kitty- Look at My Bow!, OPI- Hello Kitty- Starry- Eyed for Dear Daniel, and Cupcake Polish- Some Berry to Love.

Acrylic paint- White, black, red, a very small amount of green and yellow.

Nail art tools- Thin detail and linear brush (I always seem to use the same brushes over and over again!), and chevron nail decals.

Other- Some twisters to take of the chevron decals, and a small cup of water and a small glass cup with acetone in it to clean off your nail art brushes. 


Let's start this super cute Hello Kitty nail design!

Start off with a thin layer of base coat, and let that dry.

Then polish your ring, middle and index nail with a light pink polish (I used OPI- Look at My Bow! from the Hello Kitty collection), then your pinky nail with a glittery pink polish (I used OPI- Starry- Eyed for Dear Daniel also from the Hello Kitty collection), lastly polish your thumb nail with a light blue polish (I used Finger paints- Tiffany imposter.)

Once all of your base colored polishes have dried on to the nail art. 

*With all of my nail designs I do a lot of back and forth, I let one part of the design dry and then go on to the other part.*

Hello Kitty's Red Bow

First we will start off with Hello Kitty's bow. Take your thin linear brush with red acrylic paint and make a small circle in the middle of the nail, and then make two curved lines on the top and bottom of the circle on both sides, then connect both lines with a lager curved line to connect the bow together. Also you may need to go over the red a few time to make it fully opaque. 

Once the red part of the bow has dried with a thin detail brush with black paint on it you can carefully outline the bow, also do not forget to put two curved lines in the center of the bow.

Red Tulip  

Next we will make a small, simple tulip on the index nail. Take your detail brush with some red paint on it make a curved line and then three point at the top, then fill that in for your flower. Then with that same clean brush, now with green paint on it make a green line going down and then two small lines from the sides. 

Chevron 

For this part of the design we will be using chevron decals. I had tried a while back to do this freehand but it just was not turning out, so it is best to use decals. Take your chevron decal off of the paper, place them on the nail (I used two because the decals I have where a little to thin), then take a pink holo polish (I used Cupcake Polish- Some Berry to Love) and cover the whole nail with the polish, now before the polish dries take some twisters and pull the decals off. It is important not to let the polish dry, other wise the decals will be hard to remove. 

For the pink finger nail we will just leave that with the pinky glitter and no design on that nail.

Hello Kitty 

Last but not least is Hello Kitty herself. Take your linear brush with white paint on it and make a large egg shape, fill that in, you may need to go over this a few times to be fully opaque. Also make two ears on top of her head and fill that in as well. 

Let that part dry and then on to the facial features. Make two black oval shapes for the eyes and a small yellow oval for the noes, and then make three lines on each side of the face for her whiskers. 

Lastly is her red bow, do the same as the large bow that we made on the the ring finger nail just smaller with no outline.
