Dot Nail Art

I hope you all had a good weekend, I sure did! And now I'm back with a new set of nails for you. It's a pretty easy nail art, but it still looks so good.

This is made using dotting tools in all different sizes and some great colors. I decided to do a accent nail just to spice it up a little. 

I'm using my favorite nailpolish right now in this Nail Art. The golden one. It's from Gwen Stefain's OPI collect and its called Love Angel Music Baby. It's a lovely matte color, which they are calling satin. And you are not suppose to add topcoat on it, but I just think it's so amazing both without and with topcoat. I took a picture of this Nail Art before adding the topcoat so you can see for yourself. That picture you can find her below.

Patriotic 4th of July Nails

Over there in the big country across the Atlantic Ocean the holiday 4th Of July is being celebrated. Although I'm not living there anymore I just had to join in on these celebrations, and it's kinda started to become a tradition for me to celebrate this holiday with some great nail art. So why break it now? I'm still hoping I will get a chance to celebrate 4th of July right there in America, hopefully in Texas, but this will have to do until that day when I actually will do so. 

I was in a kinda glittery mood when I chose out the colors for this design, so its a nail art full of glitter! Since glitter nail polish isn't always super compact I started of with a layer of white nail polish to have a base for all the glitter that is in this. 

The design is pretty easy, not much tools where used for this patriotic Nail Art. Everything but the stripes and dots are made with the brush in the nail polish. I guess you can even say that the stripes was made with that too because I was using a striping nail polish - very thin brush in the nail polish. 

For this I did 3 nails with both blue, red, stripes and dots. The stars had to become dots because I'm really not that good to make that small stars. The third one that you can't see on the picture is obviously the thumb. The two other nails I did concentrate on one of the colors. Since the blue polish I was using was more glitter then color, compared to the red one, I did a glitter gradient. Then with the smallest dotting tool I have I added dots over it. With the red one I did the whole nail and the added stripes. 

I hope you liked the Patriotic 4th Of July Nails! For everyone other there that is celebrating it today, what have been your plans for the days? I'm pretty curious to know, so if anyone got something exciting to share please leave a comment for me!

Pictorial - Flower nails.

Surprise, surprise! Here I am again! It's been a while but I'm hoping I will get back into updating my blog and painting my nails again. It's been a while but for now I'm back home from Texas for a while at least.

I thought I would do my comeback with a request that I got on the blog. She wanted to know how to do flower nails so I thought I would do that. It's an easy design, you don't need much not even a lot of experience with nail art. 

Here is the finished product of it all. 

To do these nails I started with a gradient background so I'm gonna show how I do that too. I always start with a base coat to protect the nails. And when I do gradient nails I don't always think that the color is really compact so I start with a white base coat to start it all off. 

Then you take nailpolish that is often the same color but different shades. For this design I used 3 different blue polishes. Then you get a make-up sponge. These I bought really cheap so you don't have to spend a lot of money on that.

So to do the gradient you put the polishes on your sponge after how the shades go. You need a few layers of the colors because the sponge soaks up a lot of the nail polish.

Then you just put it over your nails. But you have to think about the fact that you don't only get nailpolish on your nail. You can always put tape around your nails or put vaseline around your nail to get an easier clean up. 

After it should look something like this, and you have to put in mind that once you get your topcoat on it will look much better. 

After you are done with the gradient background its time for the flowers. To do them you need to shades of another color, I chose pink. You start with the darker shade and a pretty big dotting tool.

Then you do some dots on your nail. I usually keep them kinda round but still not. Just look at the picture to see what I mean.

After that you take your lighter color and thin nail art brush.

With the lighter shade you do some patterns over your spots, almost like Cs.

For the leaves you take a bigger brush and a green nailpolish.

You just make some leaf shapes around the flowers. I usually try to do 2 leaves for every flower but you have to keep in mind that it's not always possible.

Put some topcoat and some clean up and you are all done!

I'm seeing now that the light on the pictures aren't the best, it's sort of reflecting on the nails. It's been a while since I took pictures of my nails but it will be better next time!

Thanks for looking into my blog and hopefully you will pay another visit soon. I'm gonna try to update a few more things for you in the near future.
