'Merica!!

You can never go wrong with a good American flag design. Esp. since Fourth of July is coming up soon.

My toes I painted the big toe blue and the others red. I used a striping brush to do white stripes on the red toes and a dotting tool to do the "stars" on the big toes.

As for my fingers; I painted them all white. I sponged red, white, and blue stripes on each nail. Then I added some star glitter to each nail.

Coral and glitter

This is just a plain neon nail design. All nails are painted with a neon coral and the ring finger nail is painted with a silver glitter. I loved this mani for summer!

Purple Mani Pedi match

This was done with a dark purple and a neon pink. On the toes I painted my second toe pink and the other purple. The big toe had the design on it.

As for my fingers I painted all of them with purple tips and a pink line underneath. But the ring finger still just a tip I added the same design to it as on the big toes.





Neon zebra/cheetah

With this I painted all my nails white first. Then I sponged on a set of three colors on each nail but the ring finger. (Coral, Neon yellow, Neon Pink). The ring finger I painted a Caribbean blue glitter. On the sponged nails I took black and painted cheetah spots and zebra stripes. Added some glitter.

Neon tips and black matte

This is exactly what the title says. The tips of each nail are a different color. Bright blue, neon pink, neon yellow, neon purple, and coral. The rest of the nail is painted black then a matte (chalk board) top coat is added just to the black. Making the neon stand out more.

Blue chevron

Chevron has become a very popular pattern this year. Like when the animal print came out. This was my first set of chevron nails. So the lines are not perfect. The blue is called "Tiffany" Blue. Also adding the sparkly accent nail. I also did this in a gel manicure, top coat. So they lasted for quite a while.

Tribal nails

I always thought the tribal look was really cool. And it seems to be the "in" thing this year. So this was my first attempt at it. Its an ok design. It could look better. I also did something different and did this design in gel manicure. That could be partly why mine turned out differently than expected.

Cracked Easter Egg

This is a very simple design and cute. The bright colors are always great. I painted the nails white. Added different stripes of colors in different ways on the nails. (Like a rainbow). Then I took white crackle and painted on top. At first I thought it was just cute. But it was Easter time so I called it a cracked egg.

Neon magenta butterflies

This is a pretty simple design. Just about how you draw your black lines to make the butterfly wing. Just draw a diagonal curve near the cuticle, add some lines going up to the tip. Connect them with a half circle. Color the tip black. Add white dots. And there's your wing.

Water Marble

Water marble nails are always really cute, but to get them it can be a pain. Sometimes I have the problem of getting the nail polish to actually drip and spread in the water like it should. You just have to use fresh polish.

This one I used white, neon pink, and coral. Then finished them with some glitter top coat.
