WaterColor Nails

Hey sexy people! This design is one of my absolute favorites. The very first time I did it I got so many compliments. People kept on asking me how I did it. It looks complicated and it looks like it takes hours to do, but in reality its quite simple. Keep that on the down low though because we want people believing it took you forever when in reality it took a couple minutes. Lets get started. I usually do this on a white nail polish base, but I was out of white. Instead I attempted it on a black base and it turned out amazing. The only thing is that there aren't that many colors that show up on black so just keep that in mind. Black base or white base the process is all the same.

One main thing you need for this nail art is a zip log bag. Take the bag open it and take a pair of scissors and cut down until you reach the corner and then cut again till you reach the other corner. The bag should lay flat like a book if you opened it to the middle page. By doing this it is going to be easier for you to sandwich you fingers in between the two plastics.

Step 1: Base coat and then either a white or black base.

Step 2: Pick at least two colors. I recommend three. You can choose more if you want. Begin to place drops of these colors all over the nail. I chose gold, pink, and purple.

Step 3: Take your zip log bag and place your finger in between the plastic. Be careful to remain steady and gently take the top of your nail so that the drops of nail polish begin to spread. Once your whole nail is covered slowly take off the zip log bag.

Step 4: Grab a q-tip, dip it in nail polish remover and clean up. Top coat and you're DONE!

I honestly love the way it turned out. The gold, pink, and purple contrast well with the black. I thought that the white base looks the best but now I don't know. Both look incredible. I'll include a picture of the one I did my very first time with a white base and you can decide which one looks better.

Floral Nails

Good hello beautiful people. This nail art is one of my favorite because lets be honest I'm OBSESSED with floral. Floral pants, shirts, shoes, nails I want it all. Plus flowers and summer are made for each other. I've been wanting to try this design for so long but I didn't think that I could do it. Let me just tell you that it was 100 times easier than I thought it was going to be. You can do what I did which was only have the middle and ring finger be the floral pattern or you can do all floral.

Step 1: Base coat obviously. The real first step is to paint your middle and ring finger a greenish teal color while you paint the others a pink color. Now you don't have to choose those colors, but in my opinion they look the best.

Step 2: Get a large bobby pin and start making little cloud like designs with the same pink color you put on the other nails on the fingers. Just space them out randomly so that there is enough, but not too much.

Step 3: For this step you need a lighter pink, but since I didn't have one that would go nicely I got a piece of paper and mixed the pink with a white nail polish. Now take a smaller booby pin or a nail striper and you are going to start creating the floral pattern. What I did was place a small dot with the lighter pink in the middle of the clouds and then make little lines along the edges. Mix it up give some flowers two light pink edges and others three. I forgot to take a picture with just the third step so I'll combine it with the fourth step. Next your going to take a green nail polish and make little leaves for the flowers. I gave some two and others just one. Once you like your design finish it off with a top coat.

I absolutely LOVE  this nail art you best believe that I'm going to be wearing it for the majority of the summer. Tag me on instagram (simplethings_blog) if you recreate the design.
