Wreathe Nail Art (Merry Christmas)

Hey! Sorry this tutorial is a little late, but we still have three days more till Christmas :)

Products used:

• Essie-Good To Go (topcoat)
• OPI-Nautral Base Coat
• OPI-OPI Red
• Sinful Colors-Envy
• Sally Hansen-Satin GLAM-Crystalline
• Dotting Tools

I decided to make the wreathes on my ring and middle fingers. For the rest of the nails I put a red rhine stone at the top center of each nail.

Apply base coat.

Paint your nails a base color.
Using a big dotting or a bobby pin dip it into a blob of dark green nail polish, and make one dot just below the cuticle of your nail and keep making dots into a wide circle on the nail.
Once youv'e made the wreathe, use a toothpick and red nail polish to make little ex on the bottom of the wreath, it looks better if you make the tops of the ex thicker than the ends. Now using a toothpick or the smallest dotting tool with some red nail polish make a dot in the center of each dot of the wreathe.

I hope you try this design out! :)

Cute Halloween Nails

Here I'm going to show you how to create my cute Halloween design! :)

Materials:

Orange nail polish

Black nail polish

Silver nail polish

Clear glow in the dark nail polish (optional)

Black and white glitter nail polish (or any glitter nail polish)

Striping Brush
Dotting tool (or tooth-pick)

Rhine stones

First paint your ring finger and thump black.

Paint the rest of your nails orange.

Sparkles: Apply 1-2 coats of your glitter polish over the orange polish on your pinky.

Rhine stone: If you have a glow in the dark nail polish apply it now. Put a small amount of clear nail polish in the center just above the cuticle, then pick up your rhine stone with tweezers and and press  down onto the nail where you applied your clear nail polish, make sure the clear nail polish is still wet when doing this.

Stripes: On your middle finger, dip your striping brush into your black nail polish and paint some thin, straight vertical lines down your nail.

Pumpkin: For your index finger use your dotting tool (or tooth-pick) to paint two triangles across from each other, below them paint a smaller triangle, and under it use your dotting tool to basically paint a row of little triangles all connected together across the tip of your nail.

Chevron: First use your silver polish to swipe about 1/4 of an inch away from the start of the black nail polish on your nail, from one side down and then repeat on the other   side. Do the the same thing with your orange nail polish but under the silver nail polish. (This nail design on the thump was inspired by Cutepolish's "Pretty in Pink Design")

Thank you reading, and I hope you try this out! If you do recreate this design please tag me on instagram at: misspolishednails

Happy Halloween^o^,

How make a perfect french tip

I thought of this idea awhile ago have been using it basically every time I need to do French tips :)




Materials 
White nail polish
Translucent pink nail polish
Top coat (clear nail polish)
Tape
Nail clippers

Start off with clean nails. Cut out a piece tape (about 1 inch), then use your nail clippers to cut into the piece of tape, now it should have a curve where you cut into the tape. 
After that apply the piece of tape with the curved side just above the smile line (the curved white at the end of the nail) and press down firmly all over the nail, this will help prevent the nail polish from bleeding under the tape. Now paint the tip of the nail, after 10 seconds peel of the tape. If the polish does bleed use a q-tip or a nail art brush dipped in nail polish remover to cleanup.   

 Now apply 1-2 coats of the translucent polish over the nail. When the nail polish is dry apply the clear nail polish.


You can use this technique with other colors, too! 

Thanks for reading, I hope you try this and works for you, too!

Hi :)

Hi,
 I'm Katy and I'm a nail artist (not a pro) I learned just about everything I know about nail art and nail care from YouTube ;) I started doing nail art in like 2011. Since then I've learned a lot of stuff, and my nail polish collection has grown tremendously!
On this blog I'll post stuff about nails, nail care, and maybe how to's on building things related to nails.

Keep in touch,
