A little late, but the fourth is tomorrow! I was thinking of so many tutorials I could do, but I thought this would be a good start. Here are four quick and easy nail DIY's.
Nail Water Marbling
White: Love My Nails in white - not preferred brand. Red: Finger Paints (I love this brand) in Romanticism Ruby Clear/Top coat: Avon, UV gloss guard. Seriously the best clear nail polish I've ever used. Stars: From Sally's |
Once you've dripped your polish into the water, you have to move fast. Grab a toothpick and start pulling the colors through each other! This is the really creative part, and every design and every nail will come out a little differently. That's the reason that water marbling is so fun, you never know what you're going to get! |
Quickly after making your design, face your finger above the water, nail side down. This can sometimes be a tricky process. You need to stick your nail as flat as you can on the polish and then scoop the polish onto your nail. Don't get frustrated if it doesn't come out perfectly the first time, you can keep trying until you love the design. |
STRIPES
White (then tall bottle): Kiss nail art Paint from Sally's Blue: Sally Handsen Hard as Nails #23 Marine Scene. I wish I used Petites in Sapphire because it's a darker blue. Red: Finger Paints in Romanticism Ruby - Sally's Glitter top coat: Sinful Colors Professional in Pearl Harbor Sealing top coat/clear: Avon in UV gloss guard. |
Once your strips are across your nail (I left the tip), begin painting red over the strip area and blue on the tip of your nail. Make sure you don't wait too long before peeling the tape off. If you leave the tape on for even 3-5 minutes it could peel your lower white polish off. And that's extremely frustrating, it actually happened a few times - oops! |
Paint the plain glitter on all of your nail, and wait for it to dry. Repaint just the tip of your nail, and then while the polish is still wet dip it into the glitter. Then use your top coat - Avon UV gloss guard - and paint over all of your nail. Then apply however many stars you'd like and seal them with another top coat of the clear. |
Baby, You're A Firework!

My camera glitched and deleted step one, but that's okay! Step 1 is simple, just paint your base colors! I went blue, white, red, blue, white. You can do whatever color pattern you'd like! Step 2/3 - Take your white nail art polish and paint on wispy lines, then paint your clear coat on top of that. If you paint the clear coat on while the white is still wet it can add an even more dry brush wisp look. |
So what about the white? Grab that glitter! Paint on a clear coat, then dip or sprinkle the glitter onto your nail. After I dipped my finger in the glitter, I put another clear layer on to kind of spread the glitter around my nail so it had that fire cracker (not sure if there's a better way to say that) kind of look! |
