Spring Time Fun! (Toes)

                             Flower Power!
This was pretty much a simple design. Although you do have to have some patience, and a steady eye and hand. There are flowers in this design. I could easily have painted the flowers by hand but I went a simpler way and used some bright colored, pretty nail flower stickers.

This was done on my toes....First off I used a bright colored yellow and painted all the nails. Then you have to wait for them to dry. That's the patience part. They must be completely dry before you can continue.

Next I took one flower sticker at a time and placed on the nails. I placed one flower on each nail up until i got to the big toe. Starting on the inside of the toe I went from small flower to bigger flower. Working my way from the bottom at the cuticle to the top. Trying to make it into a curve going up. On my toes it ended with three flowers.

Then at the end of course sealing off with topcoat.



"The Girl on Fire"

First off I took the Riveting nail color by China Glaze from The Hunger Games collection. I painted all the nails this color.

Then I used a double nail art brush/dotting tool. On one end it has a very thin brush and the other end is a small ball to use to make dots.

I used the brush end to dip into some white polish. On the ring finger of both hands I painted 3 squiggly line from the bottom corner of the cuticle. Also in between the lines added some small white dots using the side of the tool with the small ball. Then still using the dotting side I dipped it into some silver polish. Starting at the bottom of each line adding some silver shine to the lines. (As you can see in the picture). And like always use some top coat to finish and lock in.

The lines were meant to be flames like from the book/movie of The Hunger Games where Katniss was known as The Girl on Fire. I chose to only do one nail on each hand as my own preference of style. But you could always do other nails or all of the nails :)

 

Cheetah nails

New look to Cheetah Nails!

First I painted all the nails but the ring finger with a pink./orange polish.

Then I painted the tips of the ring fingers with a turquoise and added the turquoise dots to the pink nails. And pink dots to the turquoise tips. If you want you can do the dots all over the nail but I changed it up and only did the tip and side.

Next I took a black nail art brush and painted circles, half circles, and dots with the colored dots to give that cheetah spot look.

And of course I took a sliver glitter nail art polish and put a few dots along the spots to give it some sparkle :)

Butterfly Wing nails

First you want to pain the nail with a light orange then take a darker orange and paint half of it. Or you could just use one single color.

Next draw a curved line from the cuticle to the side of the nail. Then make lines going up. I did four lines for my wings.

 

 Then connect the lines. You'll want to make them curved and spaced. To give them a more rounded look. First time at doing the wings so the first one (orange) wasnt as rounded as

the second one (purple).

Then color in the tip above the lines made.

 After that put all kinds of white dots in the colored in black tip.

Then finish with a top coat gloss and there you go! :)

Nail Wheels

Here are wheels that I have done up. Some with just color shades, animal print, crackle, glitter, and tips. I will be adding to these over time. Just what I have put together at the time :)

St.Patrick's Day

This is just a very simple and very easy nail. You just paint the nail a green color and paint over it after it dries with some white crackle. Its simple but after look is great. You can do all kinds of different designs with crackle. Some crackle polish is even called shatter. It just depends on what brand you buy and from what store. Then after everything has dried of course seal it with a top coat to hold everything in place, give it a shine, and smooth the nail.

The green polish I used was by Sinful Colors called Happy Ending.

The Hunger Games Toes

So there is a line of "The Hunger Games" 12nail polish colors by China Glaze. For this I used two of the colors. The light color is Dress Me Up(left) and the darker color is Foie Gras(right).

I first started off by painting my toe nails with Dress Me Up.





Then I took Foie Gras and painted tips on all the nails.

 After they all were dry I found some lace styled tip nail stickers and placed on each nail. Then of course sealed with a top coat.
