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.

Isadora - Second Nail

OPI - Love Angel Music Baby

Essie - Watermelon

Jeans Nail Art - Wear Your Nails

The nails I wanna show you now is inspired by jeans. I bought this jeans affect nail polish not so long ago and I haven't tried it before so I thought now it was time that I did!

When I did these nails I started with base coat which is always a most. Then I put two layers of the demin effect nail polish on. Then with a striping brush and gold nail polish I did small lines in different patterns to look like the stitches that you find on the jeans. 

It was an easy design but it looks pretty good according to me. And I just wanna point out that it's not tipwear on the pinky. It kinda looks like that but it's gold nail polish there. Just had to get that out haha. 

I did these nails matte because I thought that brought out the jeans look more. 

I have been a little bad with my nail care the last few weeks so I know it looks so bad, but I'm gonna take better care of it now haha. I promise you all that! 

 The nail polishes I used -

Base coat - Isadora - Second Nail

Denim - Kubiss - Denim Nail Affect

Gold - Sephora - I'm A Rich Girl

Matte top coat - Essie - Matte About You

Galaxy Nail Art - My nails are out of this world

Today I thought I would share this galaxy Nail Art which I made. I'm pretty satisfied with these nails, except for the fact that the glitter I put on top of it was to compact. Which I didn't really know before. But other then that its a pretty easy design all you need is some cool nailpolishes and a make up sponge and then you are good to go.

To do this design I started with two layers of a dark blue with a little bit of shimmer in it. Then with a make up sponge I put on a little pink, a light blue and then at last purple. Then to top it all of and give it that 'Out of this world' feeling I added some holographic topcoat. 

Then with a white striping nailpolish I made some stars on and then made some smaller stars with a dotting tool. And then I did that thing I regret the most, I wanted more glitter so I grabbed this new glitter striping nailpolish and made some random things on the nail. Lucky me it didn't look so bad in real. 

To end it all I added a layer of topcoat, to just put the finish touch on it. Making it all smooth and shiny.

 The nailpolishes I used for this design is these - 

Base coat - Isadora - Second Nail

Dark Blue - China Glaze - Up All Night

Pink - Essie - Cute As A Button

Light Blue - China Glaze - Flyin' High

Purple - Mavala - Samarkand

White - Kiss Nail Art

Glitter - Kiss Nail Art

And then I realized I forgot the top coats I used -

Holographic - Ciaté - Halo

Top Coat - Seche Vite 

Please leave a comment saying what you think about this design, thanks.

Blue and Yellow Flower Nails - Inspired by a book

Today my design is inspired by a book. This is what happened when I am out of ideas and look for inspiration around me. I looked through my book shelf's to find a book with a cool cover you could make a great design out of. After a while I found one and this is the results of that.

The book I got inspired by is this book 'The Summer I Turned Pretty'. It's a great book by Jenny Han, which I recommend to all teen girls out there. 

To do this design I started with a base coat and then two layers of white. Then to make it pretty easy for me I used a dotting tool and started making yellow dots over the nails. Then with a striping brush I made blue stripes from the yellow dots. I didn't do them perfectly because I thought it brought a little charm to it. Then I added another yellow dot over the old dot to hide those blue stripes that came over the yellow dot. 

On my ring finger I only made one a little bigger flower to make it some kind of accent nail. 

The nail polish I used of this is -

Base coat - Isadora - Second Nail

White - Nail Girls - Snow White Tips

Blue - China Glaze - Flyin' High

Yellow - Face Stockholm - 171

Top coat - Nails Inc - Caviar Top Coat

Thank you for checking in and please do it again!

Sunset Inspired Nails - including glitter and studs.

Today I wanted to do a gradient, and because of all the beautiful sunsets right now I let my gradient be inspired by that. I don't know if it turned out the way I hoped, but I'm pretty satisfied with it anyways and think it ended up pretty good and thats what counts doesn't it?

For this design I have three different orange colors. I started with base coat and then two coats of the lightest orange color. Then to do the gradient I took a make up sponge and painted all the three shades of orange on it. You have to put on quite a few layers because the sponge takes in a lot of the nail polish. Then I just dabbed it on the nail. Did this a few times letting it dry between to get the results that I wanted. 

It was the first time I did a gradient like this and I'm pretty happy about how it turned out. The only thing I think I didn't do so good was the I dabbed it to low on the nail and it didn't get so much of the lightest color in the end. But practice makes perfect and I'm sure I will think about that the next time I do a gradient.

To make it all a little funnier I added a holographic top coat on it. Then to make it a little special I wanted to make a fun accent nail. So I went though my boxes and found some studs I never used. The first one I put on I just put on the the wet top coat. But then I thought it would probably look better if I added some more studs. But by then the top coat had dried and I had to use some glue. And to just sum it up it didn't end so well which you can probably notice. But my favorite saying is practice makes perfect so I will just stick with that now too. 

The nail polish I used for this -

Base coat - Isadora - Second Nail

Lightest orange - Mavala - Fresh Melon

Middle Orange - Isadora - South Beach 

Darkest Orange - Ciaté - Speed Dial

Holographic top coat - Ciaté - Halo

Top coat - Seche Vite 

Please tell me what you think about this design, I love to hear it!

Trying to come up with new design I looked through my memory to find some thing to get inspired from. Then I remembered this artist that we talked about in art class years ago.

The artist was Keith Haring. So here comes the results of my nails inspired by Keith Haring.

This is the work that inspired my nails.

To do this nails I started of with a coat base coat and then two coats of white. Then I used a thin brush to paint all the characters and then with a striping brush I did all the black lines around them. The heart I did with a dotting tool though. Topped it off with a top coat and its done!

Golden Polkadot Half Moon Nails

I thought it was time for me to do my first half moon manicure so that is what I did for todays design. The name half moon manicure comes from the fact that you paint a half moon looking figure on the bottom of your nails.

To do this nails I started with painting the whole nail pink and then with a brush I added the gold half moon. Then to make it a little funnier I added some polka dots. 

Then I ended it all with a matte top coat, just because I love making nail polish with glitter matte.

Butterfly Nail Art

It seems like spring is finally here for real this time. I think I may have celebrated it a little to early when I said it the last time, of course it started snowing after that. But now this good weather been holding on for a while so I think it's finally time to celebrate that spring is here, for real this time.

Because of this I wanted to do something springy, and purple. That's what I had in my mind so that was what I did.

I started thinking about this design I seen everywhere on the internet already. When I think about spring I think about the flowers which starts blossoming and the animal life wakes up after the cold winter. So that's why my nails currently have a butterfly design on them.

For this design I started of with a base coat, which is a must to protect your nails. And then I made a purple gradient. I don't think I really gotten the hold of this gradient thingy, but I still keep doing it. But practice makes perfect right? I did the gradient with a make up sponge which I used to just dab the lighter purple on the darker purple.

Then I took a striping brush and with black nail polish I first made a curved line at the bottom of the nail. And then from the curved line I made more curved lines to the tip of the nail. After that I made some small curvy lines between the curved lines. And this is starting to sound pretty funny, loads of curved lines. Then I painted black on the tip of the nail from the small curved lines and up. With a dotting tool I made white dots on the black tip. 

This is how it looks when you see it from the right side. 

The nail polishes I used for this design is -

Don't forget the base coat. 

Darker purple - Mavala - Samarkand

Lighter Purple - OPI - You're Such A Budapest 

Black -  Isadora - Gothic Black

White - OPI - Alpine Snow

Top coat - Seche Vite

Easter Nails - Colorful Polka Dots Nails with Gradient

I hope you all are having a great easter weekend so far. I thought I would share my second and last easter designs for this year. I wanted to do more, but unfortunately my fantasy ended here and all my ideas just reminded me of the one I already did so I thought I would draw the line here.

This design is pretty colorful, which I think is very suiting for easter. I don't know why but I see easter as a colorful holiday. This design consist of gradients and polka dots. I even did something I don't usually do, I did the nails matte. I usually wear the design a while with regular top coat and then do it matte.

I started with base coat on all the nails and then two layers of white. Then I did gradients with a different color on every nail. The gradient I did with a make up sponge which I used to dab the colors on the white nails. Then with a dotting tool I made white polka dots all over the nail. 

I think it had gave a great affect with the white polka dots with the color to white gradient. 

The nail polishes I used for this design is these -

Always use a base coat first.

White - OPI - Alpine Snow

Green - Sephora - Lime Cocktail

Purple - Rimmel - 312 Ultra Violet

Yellow - Face Stockholm - 171

Orange - Isadora - South Beach

Pink - Gina Tricot - Candyfloss

Matte Top Coat - Essie - Matte About You

Please leave a comment about the design, I would mean a lot to me.

Easter Nails

Easter is here and I'm finally allowed to do Easter design, which I love. Easter is colorful and pastel colors fit perfectly here.

For this design I started with five base colors, one for every finger. And these colors where the main colors in my design which I used the most of. Then I added two accent nail where I added some other colors.

I started with painting all the nails with base coat and then every nail with the base color I decided for them. I went on pretty light colors, like pastel like. I did my pinky blue on purpose to continue with the blue pinky challenge, which you can read more about in last post. The thumb that you can't see on this picture is the green polish that you can see on the rest of the nails. The three nails are then suppose to look something like an Easter egg. So with the five base colors I made some zigzag lines and straight lines with a striping brush. Then some random dots with a dotting tool. Added some white dots too to fill the empty spaces because I didn't want the to use the same color next to each other. 

On my ring finger is then suppose to be the Easter bunny. I started with painting the shape with a striping brush and then with a larger brush I filled it in. Then I did the eyes and nose with different sized dotting tools. Take notice its not skew-eyed like it usually is haha. Then I added the whiskers and then with a dotting tool I added some light pink on the cheeks and ears. 

My thumb have a little chicken on it. The body is made with dotting tools and also the eyes. The hair, neb and eggshell is made with a striping brush. 

The tons on nail polish I used for this -

Don't forget the base coat.
