Nail Art Design #5: The Amazing SPIDERMAN!

I know! I know! I am a bit behind my blogging schedule! (A bit behind? I am almost 2 weeks absent!)


But nah! It doesn't matter, I don't a have a HUGE fan base waiting for my every blog post anyways. *insert "emo-ish" music here*


hahaha.


But I am back!
and so is the amazing spider man movie!
So today, I decided to make a spider man inspired nails!
(with the hope that spiderman fans will follow this blog after. hahaha)


Kidding aside, here is the best that I have come up with. :)

Here's a step by step procedure:


Step 1: Paint 2 of your nails red.

Step 2 : Paint an inverted triangle with the white polish. This will serve as SPIDERMAN's eyes. :)

Step 3 : Using a toothpick (because I don't have a thin brush) and a black polish, make an outline of the eyes you just created. This will make the eyes more visible and  precise.

step 4 : Make thin straight lines above the eyes. (Use a toothpick to do this if you don't have a nail art pen or a brush)

Step 5 : Connect the lines with a curve line to achieve the "net-like" look on Spiderman's mask.

Because I have small nails, I decided to paint 2 nails with the spiderman design and then the rest of the nails with a gradient spiderman associated color. 


So, for the other nails:


Step 6 :  Choose 2 nail polish. 1 in red, the other in blue. To have the gradient look, use a make up sponge. Paint the 1/2 of the sponge red and the other 1/2 blue and dab it on your nails.

Step 7 : Do step 6 until you get your desired opacity.

Step 8 : Finish off with a clear polish.

And you are done! :)




It make look REALLY complicated but it is really easy to do.
You just need PATIENCE (and a steady hand in drawing the lines with a toothpick)


I hope this post is worth the (almost) 2 weeks worth of wait. :)


Have a nice night everyone.

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. :(
