Always have room for Dessert- Dessert Nail Design

Hello everyone! I don't know about all of you, but no matter how full I seem to feel after eating a meal I always feel like I have room for dessert, even if it is just something small. I always say I have a special compartment in my stomach for desserts, especially if that dessert is chocolatey, then I can always find room for that, yes I am a Chocoholic, gotta love chocolate everything!  Anyways sometime ago I purchased some polishes that are dessert themed, I have done a design before with these polishes but I wanted to do another one using these same polishes. Unfortunately I looked these polishes up online and I can't find them anymore, but you could probably make your polish look similar.      

 

 Dessert Anyone? Dessert Nail Design

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

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

Nail polishes- Pretty& Polished- Donut Ever Let Me Go, Pretty& Polished- Double, Double, Toil and Truffle, Zoya Mini- Eden, NYC- Brownstone, OPI Hawaii- Do you take Lei away, and OPI mini- Hawaii- Suzi shops & island hops. 

Acrylic paints- white, red, yellow, and blue (three colors for making brown.)   

Nail art tools- medium dotting tool, and thin line and detail brush.

Other- cup of water for cleaning brushes, and a small glass jar with acetone for cleaning brushes. 

Let's start this yummy nail design!

* As with most nail art designs that we do, their will be a lot of jumping around from one nail to another, as we wait for each part to dry.  

 

 Dessert Nail Design

First start off with a thin layer of base coat to protect your nails. 

Then once that has dried paint your thumb and middle finger nail with your pink dessert polish (Donut Ever Let Me Go) If you don' have this polish take a light pink and a rainbow glitter polish for sprinkles. Then paint your index and pinky nail with a chocolate brown polish (Double, Double, Toil and Truffle) if you don't have that polish take a brown and some copper of gold glitter polish to make a similar one. Then for you ring finger polish this nail with a pink creme polish.   

The index and pinky finger will stay as is with just the chocolate polish on it. 

Once that has dried we will start with the middle finger nail, the chocolate drip over the pink frosting. Take a dotting tool with a opaque brown polish and starting at the tip of the nail dab the polish all the way across the nail, then staring in the middle or on the sides of the nail start to make the drips with a dot at the end (I made three drips you can always make more if you would like), then at the bottom of the nail make two random dots, for some extra chocolate that has dripped.

Then once that has dried take Double, Double, Toil and Truffle and go over the brown polish. 

Next we will make the ice cream cone on the ring finger nail. Take a thin detail brush with a tan or peach polish and make a triangle shape for the ice cream cone.

Then with white paint we will make the outline of the ice cream, take a thin detail brush and make three long oval shapes, that are stacked on top of each other, making each one smaller as you get to the top of the ice cream.

Once your white outline has dried, with a dotting tool dipped into Donut Ever Let Me Go, dab the polish onto the white outline or ice cream part. Then on the cone you can add a drip of ice cream as well.

 

 Cupcake Nail design 

Now on to the cute cupcake. Take a liner brush dipped into a pink polish (the same polish that you used as the base color on your ring finger nail) and make a small square. 

Then we will start to make the cupcake, with a thin detail brush with white paint on it make three curved lines, then at the top make one big curved line that will all connect and then fill that in with the white paint. 

For the chocolate part repeat the last step just with brown paint, if you don't have brown paint mix yellow, red, and blue to make the color brown. Once the brown paint has dried take Double, Double, Toil and Truffle on a dotting tool and dab that onto the top of the cupcake. 

On your cupcake wrapper take a lighter pink polish and make a few small thin lines. 

For an added touch you can add a cherry on top. Take a medium size dotting tool with red paint or polish and make a small dot on top of the cupcake.      

 

   Dessert Nail Design

Once your yummy dessert nails have dried apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help your dessert nails to last until dinner or whatever meal you are eating is over, well longer then that. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this dessert nail design as much as you may enjoy eating dessert. If you are anything like me dessert is always your favorite and you always make room for it !

Also here is a link to the first dessert design that I did, this one also had a cupcake, some chocolate dips, and a doughnut, cookies and piece of chocolate. I actually think my second design turned out better then the first one, but the first one I create was still cute.

So Emotional- Emotions Design

Hello everyone! Life can be an emotional roller coaster with a lot of ups and down in our lives. I know personally in my life I have had plenty of ups and downs in my life. As of recently, I decided I was unhappy with how things where going in a certain part of my life, that was when I decided to go back to school (after thinking long and hard if I wanted to do that again) to be come a nail tech. Anyway I thought it would be cool to do a emotions nail design with all of you, yes this may remind you a little bit of the movie Inside Out, just a little bit simpler. 

     Emotions nail design. Happy, Sad, Disgust, Fear, and Anger.

The nail polish and tools used for this design will be right next to the images as we go.

The skill level for this emotions design is:

Beginners

This design is great for beginners. It is very simple to create with a dotting tool and a thin nail art brush with simple lines to create the happy face designs.

Before we start I just wanted to let you know that the happy face was one of the very first designs that I use to do on my nails. I use to us a pencil that you are suppose to write on paper with, dip that in polish and draw a happy face on my nails. They really didn't turn out to well, plus I use to bite my nails really badly so they did not stay on my nails for very long. 

Let's not be to emotional when creating this design!

 

  Base cost used- CND Sticky 

1. Start off with a thin layer of base coat to protect your nails.

 
Polishes used- Sally Hansen- Triple Shine- Lemon Shark, 

OPI- Hello Kitty- My Pal Joey, OPI Hawaii- My Gecko Does Tricks, 

Julep- Hazel- Boho glam, and Finger paints- Cubism Crimson.

2. After your base coat has dried paint you thumb nail yellow, index finger nail blue, middle finger nail green, ring finger nail purple, and pinky finger nail red.

 

Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Black Heart and Large dotting tool.

3. Once your colorful base colors has dried, take your large dotting tool with black polish on it and dot two dots for the eyes on each nail.

 Black acrylic paint and a thin nail art brush

4. Next we will start to make the faces for each emotion; happy, sad, disgust, fear, and anger. Refer to the photo above for the faces, the only thing with disgust is make the mouth more curved (I had to redo that part disgust looked a little to happy.)

  Final emotional nail design 

5. For some final touches on the sad face add two tears, disgust a tongue and some slated eye brows, and the anger face some slanted eye brows as well.    

Then once your emotional design has dried apply a top coat to protect your nails, because the last thing you want it to be mad or sad that your nails just chipped. 

Just a side note as stated above life is a emotional roller coaster, and all of us want to be happy but sometime our other emotions like to get in the way. But all emotions are their to balance out everything (well that what they said in the movie Inside Out.) 

That was kind of the reason why Happiness is on the thumb nail because being happy should be important part of life and the other emotions are their to balance everything. Also anger is on the smallest finger because no one likes to be anger and we want to make anger a smaller part of out lives.

Hope all of you enjoyed this emotional nail design!
