Very Simple Flower Nails!

This was kind of a rush design! I hate naked nails, and I had to leave soon so I made it as easy as possible.

My first step is always a clear coat to protect my nails. Second, I used China Glaze in Spontaneous to tip my nails. (Advice: To get professional looking tips, lay your hand on a flat surface, and position the brush at the tip of your nails. Instead of moving the brush, move your finger in the direction you want the polish.) Then I made four white dots in a circle for the petals. I used the Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in white to do this. It is like a marker so it saves time. You could also use the tip of a bobby pin and dip it in a color to create petals. Finally, I used China Glaze in Solar Power to creat the center of the flower.

Electric Yellow Zebra Nails!

I love zebra patterns, and this yellow color makes it super fun! I used China Glaze Solar Power for the base coat and a black nail polish with a thin brush  for the lines. The really thin brush makes it super easy to make lines.

First, I made a sideways letter V on my nail with the black brush. Next, I made a thin line above the V and bellow it. Finally, I made a line across the top of my nail. Super easy! :)

Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen!

I have already said I don't have the patience for detailed nail designs, but I love the way they look. I am always trying to find a way to achieve detailed nails with almost no time spent doing it. The other day a friend picked up the Sally Hansen nail art pen, and I wanted to give it a try! I love it! It is just like using a freaking sharpie. The pen comes to a point and you just draw the design on your nails. It makes clean lines! When I first used it I was afraid the polish was going to rush out of the tip, but it worked just like a marker. It also surprised me that it dries super fast. All you need is a clear coat over it and your ready to go!

Yay for more easy ways to make nail designs!!!!

This is a pic from my first time using the pen. More of my love for bows!

Yay for China Glaze Crackle Polish!

I have been wanting to try this stuff for ever! I love super easy nail designs, and this is as easy as it gets. The nail polish designs itself. First, you paint one coat of regular nail polish over your nails. Then all you do is paint over the first coat with crackle polish. As it drys it will start to crack, and you will see the first color in the cracks. It was fun to watch!

First Coat: China Glaze - Seduce Me

Second Coat: China Glaze Crackle - Tarnished Gold

Nail Tutorial: Beachy Palm Trees!

Im heading to the beach and these nails are a perfect reminder of it.

I started by using the purple color (China Glaze - Coconut Kiss) and painting a thick stripe along the bottom of my nails. Then I used the yellow color (China Glaze - Solar Power) to stripe the middle section of my nail. The coral/pink color ( Confetti - Fruit Smoothie was used to stripe the tips of my nails. For the palm trees I used a black color (Sally Hansen - Mysterious creme). To create the palm trees I used a tooth pick and drug a curved line to the middle of my nail. Then I used the tooth pick to create four streaks for the branches. It's way easier than it looks, and it's great for some summer fun!

Fun Rainbow Summer Nails!

In order from Left to right these colors are: China Glaze Coconut Kiss, China Glaze Frostbite, Finger paints Sketch n etch, China Glaze Solar Power, and Confetti Party Hearty

Cute Polka-dot Nails!

I love a cute and easy nail tutorial! I don't have the tools or patience to do any super detailed nail design, but when I do my nails like this they always get attention. It is super easy, super cute, and it takes practically no time. I hope you enjoy it.

 First, I use my Revlon base and top coat to protect my nails.

Second, I use my light pink China Glaze nail polish in the color Exceptionally Gifted. It is a light color so I paint two coats.

Next, I take my China Glaze nail polish in the shade Spontaneous and drop a few nail polish drops on to a paper plate.

I dip the ball of this pin into the purple color and dot it all over my nails in different patterns.  

This is the final product! I use different colors to create different styles. Have fun with it!
