Ready for Spring- Flower Nail Design

Hello everyone! Sorry it has been a while since I posted anything, it was a busy month of February. Anyways who is tired of all this cold weather and is ready for spring? Well unless you live somewhere warm, I have heard that it has been hot in some places all ready, all I know is the weather has been crazy everywhere! So I thought for all of use that are tired of the cold weather we could use some nice pretty flower nail art that we can put on our nails. 

Here are the nail art tools and polishes used to crate this pretty spring flower nail design:

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat.

Polishes- OPI- Hello Kitty- Look at My Bow, Sally Hansen- Color Therapy- Mauve Mantra, China Glaze- Shades of Paradise-Boujee Board, Orly- Kell's Galaxy Trio- Kelli's Moondust, Orly-Melting Point- Alloy Matey, and Holo Taco- Chrome Collection- Trophy Life.

Nail art tools- Thin striper and linear brushes and a small dotting tool.

Other- Nail polish remover/ acetone and water to clean off your nail art brushes. 

Apply a top coat to clean dry nails. Let that dry.

Polish-

Thumb, index, middle and pinky finger nails- a light pink cream polish.

Ring finger nail- a rosy pink cream polish.

Let that dry.

This is a simple design (at least that is what I think ☺️)

For each nail you can put as may flowers as you would like, some of them I put two or three it kind of depend on your nail length or if you want a lot of flower or not. 

First we will start off with making the petals, you can use the three colors that I used a purple (Orly- Alloy Matey) and lighter purple (Orly- Kelli's Moondust) and a light pink toned purple (China Glaze- Boujee Board.) Take one of the colors on a linear brush, then for example if you want to make your first flower (like on the index nail) make a oval shape near the tip of the nail, fill that in, make two more oval shapes on the side of the first one you made and then fill those petals in. 

For the second flower repeat the same steps, make a oval shape near the cuticle, then make two more to the side of that petal, lastly make two more petals/ ovals under the last petals that you made. Also make sure to fill in each petal, you may need to do this a few times to be opaque. 

For each nail repeat this last step, you can make the flowers bigger or smaller, a whole flower or just a half. 

Lastly for the final touch the gold leaves or steams. Take a thin striper brush with a gold foil polish (Holo Taco-Trophy Life) and from part of your flower make some lines that can look like steams for leaves. You can also make a few line on other random parts of the nails as well.

Once your flowers are spring ready, apply a top coat to add some shine and to help your nails to last.

As always now, here is the practice version.

Hope all of you enjoy this flower spring nail design and hope that we start to see some nice weather, that will stick around.

See you next time for more nail fun! 

It's too cold outside- snowflake nail design

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying this super cold winter, just kidding! It has been way too cold this winter in the USA, even in the states that usually are not that cold, they are even having cold weather. I know where I live it has been way too cold and snowy and I am just ready for at least Spring time. Anyway we all may be tired of the winter weather, but why not have a pretty snowflake design on our nails, to somewhat enjoy the winter. 

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this snowy nails design:

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat.

Polishes- Zoya- Estelle, Holo Taco- Toppers- Scattered, and Holo Taco- Electric Holo Collection- Circuit Breaker.

Acrylic paint- White.

Nail art tools- Thin striper brush, a small dotting tool, and a makeup sponge for glitter gradients. 

Other- Water to clean off your nail art brushes.

Apply a base coat to clean dry nails.

Let that dry.

Polish all of your nails with a shimmery blue (Zoya- Estelle.)

Let that dry.

Glitter Gradient on all of the Nails: 

First we will start off with a glitter gradient on all of the nails. Take a scattered holographic polish and polish a little bit on the tips of the nails. Now take a makeup sponge with the same glitter polish that you just used and apply some to the sponge, dab the sponge on to the tips of the nails, I did this two times over all the nails to have enough glitter. Then I usually with the polish brush will apply anther thin layer over the tip of the nails, to smooth out what we just sponged on.

Snowflakes:

For the Snowflake we will mainly be focusing near the tips of the nails. To make a snowflake take a thin striper brush with white paint on it and make a cross shape, then an X shape through that. On every line make two to three very small lines. Then to finish off your snowflake, make a very small dot on the very end of each line. 

For even more snow, take a dotting tool with a sliver holographic polish on it and dab the dotting tool on the random blank areas of the nail. 

On all of the nail you can do different amounts of snowflakes depending on your nail length. Some nails I did two snowflakes, some three and some just a half snowflake. 

Once your nails match the outside, apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it last thought all the winter weather.

Hope all of you have enjoyed this winter snowflake nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!
