Vintage Style Nails



With this I used design you can use any colors. Most are done with pastel colors though. I however used the blue that is on the left. I also did something a little different with some of the other nails. I painted all the fingers with the blue, expect for the ring and index finger. I did pink tips on those.

After this dried which didn't was the only part that took the longest to do was wait for them to dry. I took a light brown color (placed a drop of the color on a napkin for easier access). I took the dotting tool I have and placed a few random dots on the blue nails. (As soon in the picture above and below).


I then used the same light pink I used for the tips and put some on the napkin. I used the dotting tool to make small dots around the brown ones. This is what gives you the flower look. And after I did the pink dots I went over the brown dots again to help close in the flower and fix any mistakes that was made with the pink.


After this I used the small brush end of the tool and dipped it in a light green polish. I added a few lines to the flowers which gave the look of leaves. And just added some green streaks throughout the nail for more depth and look.

Now its time for the 2 pink tipped nails: I once again used the dotting tool. With white polish I placed dots along the side of the nail. At the tip the dots were small and got gradually bigger as you go down the bottom towards the cuticle.



Once these dots dried I took a hot pink glitter and added some dots to the inside of the white dots.

Add some top coat of course to seal the deal and there you have it :)
~This may seem like it is a long and complicated process. But it really isn't. But either way its totally worth it :)
