Nail Art Design #4: Doggie Nail Art

Less than 2 months ago, our dog died. :(
I did a post about it here


Today, I decided to make a nail art tutorial dedicated to cocoon.


You can choose to vary the design from one nail to the other or do one design in all your nails.


You only need these 3 colors if you wanted to do one design in all your nails




or select 3-4 brown polish to do a variation of design.




Here is the finish look.

Here is a video tutorial explaining how this is done:




Have a nice weekend everyone. ♥

Nail Art Design #3: Tuxedo Nails (A father's day tribute)

Who here loves their dad? Raise you hand. :)
*raises both hands*


Today, as a father's day tribute, I have decided to create a tuxedo nail art.




Although, my dad does not wear tuxedo often... but I opt to make this design because it is really fun and easy to do. :)


So, here goes.


The materials I used for this design are the following:
-- Black Polish
-- White Polish
-- Clear Polish
-- Dotting Tool
-- Toothpick


Let's Start!


1. Paint your nails two coats white.






2. When the nail polish is completely dry, do a french tip using a black polish.






3.  To create the bow tie, use the toothpick to draw an horizontal X then fill in the sides as shown in the picture.






4. Lastly, with the dotting tool, add 2-3 dots below the bow tie and above the black line.




Finish with a clear polish then you are done. :)


Easy Right? 
Go ahead and try it.


Don't forget to greet your father a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!


PS. Forgive the cam quality. :(


Here is a video version of the tutorial:

Happy Father's Day Papa. ♥

Nail Art Design #2: Blueberry Nails

Hello Everyone!

This is my second time to document the nail art design I have created.
(and this time, I have decided a video for this one. YAY!)

As usual, I wanted to make a design that is really simple to do.
Let me know what you think, by leaving me a comment below.

To start we are going to use the following:


If you don't have a dotting tool, you can always use a hair pin. :)

Let's Start:

Step 1 : Paint your nails two coats white. Then let dry.


Step 2 : With the green stripper, paint curve lines like you see in the picture.


Step 3 : Using a dotting tool,  put 2 - 4 circles on each nail using the darker blue polish.


Step 4 : With the smaller end of the dotting tool, make a smaller circle using the lighter blue polish.

Step 5 : Finish off with a clear polish to give your nail art that extra protection. :)

Have a nice day everyone.
Be Blessed.
