Disney 100 Anniversary Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will be celebrating 100 years of the Disney company. This years we Disney is celebrating 100 years of the Disney company as a whole. In October 2021 it was Disney World's 50th anniversary, which was will be ending soon, now it on to the Disney 100 year anniversary. I did create two 50th anniversary design, so it was only right to make a 100th design too. Also this celebration is called Disney 100 years of wonder and the official date is October 1. 

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

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

Polishes- Zoya- Urban Grunge- Alicia, Zoya- Urban Grunge- Finley, and Color Club Halo's- Harp on. 

Acrylic paint- black and white.

Nail art tools- thin detail and sniper brush.

Other- water and acetone to clean off your nail art brushes.

Apply a base coat to clean dry nails.

Let that dry. 

Polish-

Thumb and pinky nail- Silver holographic polish (Zoya Alicia)

Index, middle and ring nails- Dark purple holographic polish (Zoya Finley)

Let that dry. 

100 on the index and middle finger nails-

First we will start off with the number 100 on the index and middle fingers. First we will create an outline with white paint. 

Take a stripper brush with white paint on it, on the index nail make a line down the middle of the nail and then a slanted line on the top for the 1.  

For the 00 on the middle finger nail, the two zero's will over lap, once again take the stripper brush with white paint on it, staring on the left side make a 0, then over lapping that 0 and make  another zero. 

Once you are happy with your outline take a silver holo (I used Color Club Halo's- Harp on) and go over the white outline.

The Disney D letter on the ring finger nail-

Next we will make the Disney D on the ringer finger nail. This part is hard, I even a trouble with this one. Once again we will make the outline with white paint, take your thin detail brush first make the small line that you see in the photo above, then make the small curve on the right side of the line we just made, then make a large curve around that line. Then keep go in a D shape going up the side of the nail. Hopefully that makes sense. 

Once you have the shape right once again take the silver holo polish that you used for the 100 and go over your outline, making sure to make the curve near the top of the D thicker. 

Small Mickey on the Pinky Nail- 

On the pinky nail we will make a small Mickey on the corner of the nail. Take a detail brush with black paint on it make large circle, then make two small circles on the top of that for Mickey's ears.

Mickey on the Thumb Nail- 

Lastly we will make Mickey peeking out of the corner of the thumb nail. First take your stripper brush with black paint, make a large circle almost as big as the nail. Then we will make the triangle shape on top of Mickey's head, then make a thicker line going around his head. 

For Mickey's ears make a large circle near the top of Mickey's head, then half of a circle on the bottom side of his head, that is not showing hardly at all. Also fill that in with black paint. 

Now on to Mickey's face, make a curved line for where his eyes will set then two half ovals for his eyes, fill those in, then lastly make an oval for his nose, and then fill that in.   

Once your nail design is just right apply a top coat to seal in your design to help your design to last though your Disney celebration. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this Disney 100 years of wonder nail design. 

This is a design that I came up with, with some inspiration from some nail art that I found on Pinterest, as of posting this there is no Disney 100 designs. Also if you have not checked out the Disney World 50th anniversary designs that I came up with also check that out as well.

Happy 4th of July- Nail Design

Hello everyone! Happy 4th of July! Well almost. I can't believe I am say that all ready it feels like it was just Memorial day! Anyways it has been some years since I last did a 4th of July nail design, since I first staring do this blog about five years ago, so I thought I would do one this year. I kind of feel like with 4th of July designs their is not much you can do with them other then a flag, fireworks, and some way incorporating red, white and blue, so I tried my best. 

 

4th of July Nail Design  

Here are the polishes and nail art tools for this simple 4th of July nail design:

 

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

Nail polishes- Zoya- Renee- Redbook trio, Zoya- Estelle, and Color Club Halo's- Harp on.

Acrylic paint- white.

Nail art tools- nail art tape, and a thin stripping brush.

Other- a small glass jar with acetone in it to clean off your nail art brush, and a cup of water to clean off your nail art brush as well. Twisters to pull nail art tape off the nails.

This is a very simple 4th of July design that is great for beginners!

 4th of July Nail Design 

As always start off with clean dry nails that are free of any old polish. Then apply a thin layer of base coat to help your design to last. 

Let that dry.

Next we will be applying nail art tape to all of the nails except for the ring finger nail, that nail we will polish with a silver holographic polish. Take any color of nail art tape and cut a small amount off, then place the tape on the nails at an angle.

 

4th of July Nail Design  

Then near the cuticle take a red polish and polish one half of the nail that we taped off. Then right away take some twisters and peel of that tape. Do this same step for all four nails. 

Then once your done with that step, polish the other half of the nail with a blue polish, being careful not to over lap the red and blue polish.

 

 4th of July Nail Design 

Then for the design part, take a thin stripping brush with white paint on it, and then make a straight line going in between the nail (the same area that you placed the nail art tape), then once you get near the tip of the nail make a few smaller lines that come off of the larger line you just made. 

For our final touch I wanted to add some of the silver holo to the nail as well that we polished on the ring finger nail. Once again take that same thin stripper brush with some silver holo polish on it and make a shorter line right next to the white line and then make a few shorter lines from that line on each side of that line. 

In the end this design ended up looking kind of like a feather, which I was not really going for but it worked out anyways. 

 

   4th of July Nail Design 

Once your design is 4th of July ready, apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it last through all of your 4th of July celebrations.

I did end up doing this design on my right hand as well, I did not change anything keep it the same as the left hand.

Hope all of you enjoyed this simple 4th of July nail design and have a safe and Happy 4th of July!

Dragonfly Dreams- Dragonfly Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today we will be creating a dragonfly design. This design is inspired by a design that I would do on this lady, that would come to the nail salon that I use to work at and she would always want a dragonfly on her big toenail. So after doing this design plenty of times on her, I thought I would give it a try on my own finger nails, and show all of you how it is done. 

 

Dragonfly Nail Design 

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

 

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

Nail polishes- Sally Hansen- Insta Dri Matte- Smoldering Teal, Loreal- textured polish, too dimensional, Sally Hansen- xtreme wear-Celeb city, and Color Club- Mini- Silver Glitter.

Acrylic paint- (optional used to create an outline) White.

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

Other- a small glass jar with acetone in it to clean off your nail art brushes.

 

 

Dragonfly Nail Design

Start off with clean nails, with no polish on them, and apply a thin layer of base coat.

Let that dry.

Then polish all of your nails with a teal colored polish, I used Sally Hansen- Insta Dri Matte- Smoldering Teal.

Let that dry as well.

 

 Dragonfly Nail Design

We will first start off with the very simple part, the glitter trail that is left behind by the dragonfly. I know dragonflies don't leave a glitter trail, but I thought it would look pretty as a part of this design and I was really unsure what I could put on the other nails, so we will go with a glitter trail.  

Start off by take a little bit of your glitter polish and pouring some out on a nail mat or a plastic bag, then taking a small detail brush with that glitter on it and make a very big curved line that starts at the index nail and end at the pinky finger nail. I did each part of the line in sections/ one nail at a time. Just make sure the line lines up when you put your finger together.

 

Dragonfly Nail Design

To complete this design we will make the dragonfly on the thumb nail. With all of the designs I do I always like to create an outline with acrylic paint, for this design I first created the outline with white, this part is optional you can always go straight in with nail polish. 

For creating the white outline, first take a clean detail brush with white paint on it and we will make the wings first. Also make sure to leave a little bit of space in between the wings for the body.

Starting on the right side make a teardrop shape near the tip of the nail and then right under that make another teardrop shape for the wings. Repeat this step on the other side for the other part of the wings.

For the body take a few different sized dotting tools to make your dots/ body for the dragonfly, with a sliver polish starting with a large dot and then going small, make a kind of curved line with dots for the body going down the nail.

If you did create a outline with white paint, once that has dried with a small detail brush and a glittery purple (our whatever colored polish you would like), go over the wings with that polish. 

 Dragonfly Nail Design

Once you have your design the way you like apply a topcoat to seal in your design and to make it nice and shinny, I did use a matte teal polish for the base color. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this design, that is nice and simple and great for Spring and Summer.

See you next time for more nail fun!   

The Polar Bear Vortex- Polar Bear Nail Design

Hello everyone! This past week, at least where I live has been supper cold, in the teens and in the negatives, and even now it is still very cold. So I thought it would be cool to make a cute polar bear nail design to help us all get through this cold weather/ polar vortex.

  

Polar Bear Nail Design 

Here are the polish and tools used to create this cute polar bear design:

  

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

Polishes- Colors by llarowe- Arturo and Color Club- Halo's- Crystal Baller.

Acrylic paint- black, white, and red.

Nail art brushes/ tools- medium or large dotting tool, thin detail brush, thin stripper brush, and a very small detail brush. 

A small cup of water to clean off your brushes.

What is the best way that you keep warm in the winter? with a fuzzy blanket, a nice cup of tea, coffee, or hot chocolate? 

Polar Bear Nail Design

Start off with clean nails, with no polish on them, and apply a thin layer of base coat to all of your nails.

Let that dry.

Polish all of your nails with a light blue polish/ a light holographic blue polish. 

Let that dry.

Then on to the nail art, we will first start off with the easy part the snowflakes on the index, middle and pinky finger nail. For the larger snowflakes we will just make a simple star shape, an X with a few lines going through it, on each nail you can do a different amount. After that take a larger dotting tool with a little bit darker holographic polish on it and make random dots around the nail, this is for the smaller snowflakes.

 

 

Polar Bear Nail Design

Next we will make a the polar bear that is kind of peeking out from the tip of the nail on the ring finger nail. Take a thin detail brush with white paint on it and make a large circle near the tip of the nail, and then two smaller circles at the top of the head for his ears. You will have to go over this a few times to be opaque. Then take a large dotting tool with black paint on it and make two dots for his eyes and then with your detail brush make a small oval shape for his nose right under his eyes.     

Also on this nail I did add some dots above the bear for some snowflakes. 

 

Polar Bear Nail Design 

Last by not least is the polar bear him self on the thumb nail. Take a small detail brush with white paint on it and make a circle near the tip of the nail for his head, then make another circle that is attached to his head for his body, fill in both of those. Then make two small arms and two circles for his feet, for the small detail on his paws, just make two lines on each paw and for his feet make a small circle and three little dots above that. 

For his face take your dotting tool with black paint on it, and make two circles for his eyes an then make an oval for his nose, and right under that draw a small line and two curved lines for his smile. For his ears make two half circles with black paint on the white part of his ears. 

To finish your little polar bear, we will add a scarf. Take that same detail brush with red paint on it and make a thick line around his neck and then two lines coming down from that line.

         

  

Polar Bear Nail Design

Once you have your polar bear nail design the way you like apply a top coat to seal in your design to help it last through this cold weather.

Snow day- Glitter Gradient and Snowflake Nail Design

Hello everyone! Happy New Year well a little late in the month, but still not to late. Sorry I have not post anything in a while, I have been a little bit busy/ tired. Anyways today we will be creating a winter nail design, a glitter gradient with some snowflakes. So far in the area I live winter has been kind of mild not much snow, which I am perfectly fine with, but I thought because it is still winter it would be cool to make a winter/ snowy nail design. 

  

Snow day! Winter nail design

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

 

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

Nail polishes- Your base color Zoya Enchanted- Saint, for the glitter gradient Color Club- Mini- Silver Glitter and blue and purple glitter. 

Acrylic paint- white

Nail art tools- Thin stripper brush and small dotting tool.

Other- Makeup sponge for glitter gradient, and a small cup of water to clean off nail art brushes. 

 

 

 Winter nail design

Start off with clean nails and then apply a thin coat of base coat to make your polish last. 

Let that dry.

Then on all of your nails, polish them with a periwinkle blue (I used Zoya - Saint.) 

Let that dry as well.

Then on to the glitter gradient, for this you will need a makeup sponge. For me I found it easier to first take the polish and the brush it came in, and polish the gradient on first and then sponge on more of the glitter. 

For this gradient we will start from the cuticle and then go down the nail. For the glitter gradient most of the glitter will be focused/ mainly be near the cuticle and then faded in to less glitter as we go down the nail. 

As stated above I first took the brush and polished the glitter on and then I took a makeup sponge putting some of the glitter polish on to the sponge and dabbed it on to the nail. 

  

  

Winter nail design

Once you have your glitter gradient the way you like on to the snowflakes, to make this more of a winter design. On my left hand I did put snowflakes on all of the nails and on my right hand I only put snowflakes on three nails. 

For each nail you can make each snowflake different. Some nails I put one snowflake the other nails two with some small dots. 

For each snowflake they all start off with a X and then look kind of star shaped, some of the flakes you can leave as is or add more lines to make them different. Then once you have the larger flakes you can take a dotting tool and make small dots for very small snowflakes.

Once you have your winter nail design the way you like apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it last thought your next snow day, or just a regular day. I don't know about you but I am fine with a mild winter with little snow, it was much better when we where kids and had actually snow days, now we don't get snow days we still have to go to work no matter what.
