I got bored one day, and decided to do something fun with my fingernails. I admit when I get bored, I get creative. I also like to express my individuality which I decided to do with my nails. I get most of my polishes pretty cheaply from
Sally's with sales and discount codes. I have a wide variety of colors as I can wear sandals about 9 months out of the year. I like to change my polish depending on the mood and weather.
I found so many tutorials on You Tube. Many of them will show you step by step how to create designs and patterns. I picked white and pink polish. I painted my fingernails with the pink and white polka dots, and switched the color scheme on my toes to white with hot pink polka dots. I got lots of compliments and even inquiries on how I made the polka dots. You can either use a polish with the very narrow brush or use a dotter. I used the back of a craft paint brush to make my dots. I poured a very small amount of polish on wax paper. Then you dip the back of the brush into the polish and dot away. I dipped the brush into the polish after each nail.
This design is zebra stripes. It was easier to do on my toenails than my fingernails. Strange but true. I used a polish with the thin brush for a $1 at Dollar General. I painted my nails white and used OPI polish. I used the hot pink polish to make the stripes. Again just search on You Tube for a tutorial. It just takes practice and a little patience.

Great job on your nails! I like the zebra, very nice. Especially for doing them yourself. I took cosmetology years ago (we don't need to discuss how many years or I would be dating myself haha), and I know it can be difficult to do the designs on your own nails. I forget some of the techniques I learned from going to all the shows now.
ReplyDeletecongrats on that, they look like a lot of fun :)I would love something in black and white.
ReplyDeletewow, that looks so cool and fun. I envy people who can make their fingernails pretty. I don't know why but I just can't make mine.:)
