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.

Santa Hat Nails

This one of my favorite holiday nail art designs. It's extremely easy and super cute. The best thing is that it doesn't take that long. It only took me about 5 minutes. The things you will need for this design are: a base coat, clear tape, red and white nail polish, bobby pin, and a top coat.

The first step like always is apply a base. Next you are going to place the tape on your nails so you form a triangle. Make sure you leave some room on the top. Follow the picture below.

Next step is to paint the triangle red. Wait about a minute or so before you take off the tape.

Now take the white nail polish and use the brush to make the bottom of the hat. You could use the brush to make the little ball at the top of your hat, but I prefer the bobby pin. Place a drop or couple on a piece of paper and use the bobby pin to make little fluffy ball on top. Add a top coat and you are finished.

Happy Holidays!!!
