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.

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!

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.

American Flag nails - French Manicure Twist

Todays nails are inspired by flags and none other then my favorite country's flag, USA's flag of course.

I done familiar nails before for fourth of july last year but when looking back at them now I'm not so proud of them haha.

Oh gosh no, we shouldn't look at them. Lets go on to todays nails instead. But I guess this means that my nail art skills have grown better and thats always something good. 

With this nails a did a little twist of the classical french manicure. I started with base coat as usually, and then I did two layers of white nail polish. Then with a striping brush I made the red lines all over the nails. Once those were completely dry I took some french manicure templates. The package I have had 2 different kinds, curved and straight, and I took the straight ones. Which I think are for you toe nails actually but who cares? I painted the tips blue and later when it was dry I did small dots with a dotting tool over the blue to symbolize the stars on the flag.  

After a while I decided that I might look cool matte. So I made them matte. It's not often I have matte nails but it looks cool so I should probably do it a little more often.


The nail polishes I used for this is -

Don't forget base coat all times to protect your nails.

White - OPI - Alpine Snow

Red - Gina Tricot - Formula One

Blue - Sephora - Curaçao

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

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

Matte Ikat Nails

Decided to make my Ikat nails matte. I think matte nails are really nice and everytime I do it I always tell myself why don't I do this more often.

To do this I used Essie's Matte About You. It's the best matte top coat I ever tried.

Here under you can see the comparison between matte and shiny. You can't see this much I notice now but you can see it in the shimmer and the light reflection. The first picture is shiny and the second is matte.

Which one you liked the most - shiny or matte?

Matte Nails

I'm really into matte nails right now. Yesterday after wearing this design for a day I decided to make it matte. I love matte nails when you get nail polishes with glitter in them like this design. To do them matte I used Essies Matte About You.

It's so much easier taking pictures of matte nails, just saying.

And here is a little comparison between shiny and matte -

Which one you like the most?
