Strawberry Fields- Strawberry Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today we will be creating a strawberry nail design that I original did for spring, but can also be good for summer time too. Strawberries are one of my favorite fruit besides pineapple. What is your favorite fruit? 

Here are the polish and nail art tools used to create this strawberry nail design: 

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

Nail polish- OPI- Hello Kitty- Look at My Bow!, OPI- Hello Kitty- Starry- Eyed for Dear Daniel, and Zoya- Renee- Redbook trio. 

Acrylic paint- red, green and yellow

Nail art tools- small dotting tool, thin detail and linear brush.

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

Apply a base coat, then let that dry.

Nail polish- 

Thumb, index, middle, and pinky- a light pink polish (OPI- Hello Kitty- Look at My Bow!)

Ring finger- a pink glitter polish (OPI- Hello Kitty- Starry- Eyed for Dear Daniel)

Let that dry.

Small Strawberries on the index, middle, and pinky finger nails: 

On the index, middle and pinky finger nails we will make small strawberries. Each nail has a different amount of strawberries on each nail, and some have just half the strawberry. 

For the strawberry take a linear brush with red paint on it, make a circle, with a flat top on the top and a point at the other end.

For the leaves take a detail brush with green paint, make three thick lines on the strawberry and then make a thick line on top of the leaves for the steam. 

Lastly take a thin detail brush with yellow paint on it, make small lines for the seeds. 

Thumb Nail Strawberry- 

On the thumb nail we will make a large strawberry that will cover the whole nail/ most of the nail. 

Take a red polish and make a large oval near the tip of the nail, making sure to leave some of the pink polish showing. Let that dry.

Then just like the small strawberries, take a linear brush with green paint on it make three leaves on the strawberry and then a line on the top of the strawberry for the stem. 

Lastly the yellow seeds, take a small dotting tool with yellow paint on it and make small dots all over your strawberry, with theses dots make sure to drag your dotting tool just a little for the dots to look like seeds.

Once your strawberry design looks good enough to eat, apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help your nails to last.

Here is the practice version that I did as well.

Hope all of you enjoyed this yummy strawberry nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun! 

Pride Rainbow Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today we will be creating a rainbow design for fun and for pride month, even though it it mid of June, but you can do rainbows at any time. For this design of course we will be using the Holo Taco rainbow collection, which has twice the rainbow because of the Holo. 

Here are the polishes and nail art tool use to create this rainbow nail design. 

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

Nail Polish- Holo Taco Rainbow collection. 

Nail art tools- large dotting tool and stripping tape and 

For this design, on the index, middle, and pinky finger we will be creating the rainbow with a dotting tool. The ring finger is done with stripping tape and lastly the thumb is larger random dots.

Apply a base coat. Let that dry. 

Their is no base color under the rainbow polish.

Rainbow dots on the index, middle and pinky nail:

First poor a very small amount (you don't want to waste the holo) of each color of your polish on a nail polish mat or on a piece of plastic or foil. 

Take a large doting tool staring near the cuticle and make dots in a line across the nail. 

Staring with magenta, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. If your nails are longer you may need to repeat the colors.

Rainbow on the ring finger nail:  

On the ring finger nail place four pieces of nail art tape/ stripping tape diagonal going down the nail. Starting at the tip of the nail, polish the first area red, then the next area, orange, yellow, green and lastly blue. Then before the polish dries quickly remove the tape, then polish over the area's that the tape was covering.

Random large dots on the thumb nail: 

Again poor a very small amount of each color of your polish on a nail polish mat or on a piece of plastic or foil. Do one color at a time for this or if you can do this fast you can poor all 7 polishes. But for me I was too slow so it was best for me to to each color one at a time. 

Take a large dotting tool with one of the rainbow polishes and make a large dot anywhere on the nail. I did one color at a time, for example I made a few red dots, clean the dotting tool off, then made a few blue dots, and just went through the rainbow of colors.

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

Hope all of you enjoyed this pride rainbow nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!
