Plant nail art

Hi everyone,
So for this week I chose to do a plant inspired manicure, the plants on the right hand are all inspired by my own plants on my windowsill. The left hand was inspired by IG: cactushi_nails

Step 1: Paint all nails a light shade of blue

Step 2: Using a black striper write “free” and “hugs” on two of the nails.

Step 3: Using a slightly bigger brush, paint a small brown plant pot on seven of the nails.

Step 4: Using a beige or lighter brown, you can do some shading.

Step 5: Now paint the actual plants, using a dark green and do a bit of shading with other greens.

Step 6: Details, using a dotting tool paint a red heart on your little finger. Continue using the dotting 
tool for the flowers, were you paint 5 tiny dots next to each other in a flower shape and add a red dot in the middle.

Step 7: Faces, using a black striper, give the cacti a mouth and some spikes, using a dotting tool, paint first a black dot and then two smaller white dots on the black dot.


Step 8: Matte-finish topcoat.

 Have a great week.

Scotland nail art

Image
Hi everyone, I went to Scotland in the summer holiday last year and as usual I did a country specific nail design. Step 1: Start by painting one nail red, one light blue, one dark blue and two white.  Step 2: Paint half of the light blue nail green. Then sponge on different greens, blues, and whites to add a natural feel. Step 3: Write Scotland on the dark blue nail. Step 4: Paint a blue thistle on the white nail. Step 5: Mix black and clear polish and paint the first two vertical stripes, use nail tape to make sure they are straight. Then add four black horizontal stripes and thereafter paint two white lines one vertical and one horizontal. Step 6: Now paint the Scottish cow using brown and beige. Step 7: Finish off with a top-coat. Have a lovely week.

Pink nail tape nail art

Hi everyone, I have continued to experiment with nail stickers. I started playing with nail tape as well and I think it turned out quite well. The only problem is that I can’t quite make the tape stick to my nails properly. Step 1: Paint all nails light pink, I used a Ciaté nail polish in the colour dollhouse. Step 2: Now place two pieces of pink nail tape on all nails. Personally, I think the horizontal lines worked best. Step 3: Finish off with a top-coat. I hope you have a lovely week
