Hi everyone, It is Halloween again and this means Halloween nails. Step 1: Start with a clear base coat. Step 2: Now quickly paint many layers of a clear or nail coloured polish. Step 3: Using a little dotting tool, pull open the layers of polish, make sure the edges of the holes are uneven. Step 4: Seal the nails with a matte top coat Step 5: Then fill in the holes using different colours of blood red and finish off the holes with a shiny top coat. Step 6: Then paint the uneven edges using watered down acrylic light brown and white . Have a spooky Halloween.

Dublin Nails

Image
Hi everyone, I was lucky enough to go on a school trip to Dublin last week. And since I like painting travel themed nail art I of course had to paint some Dublin nails. Step 1: Paint the thumb white, 3 nails green and one gold . Step 2: Using a light green, paint little shamrocks on two of the nails. An easy way to do this is to think of the shamrock as four little hearts. Step 3: If you have a gold nail decal ad it to the gold nail. If not ad a spot of black instead. Step 4: Now paint the Irish flag on the thumb using tape. Step 5: Paint a black pot on the last green finger and ad some shine using a grey and white. Step 6: Using a gold glitter polish add the glitter to the pot, making it look like gold coins. Then using a gold shimmer polish add some gold to the edges of the shamrock. Step 7: Seal the design using a top-coat.  Hope you all have a great week.
