Party Nails

Hello everyone! :)

  I've been really into party spirit, so I've decided to make a design that would match my feelings, so, this is how my nails ended up looking:


  They look pretty crazy! Plus, they are so simple to do, that i didn't even had the need to take a picture of every step, you can do it by yourselves by just looking at my photo. 

  You will need:
a) Base coat;
b) White polish;
c) Neon pink polish;
d) Baby blue polish;
e) Yellow polish;
f) Dark green polish;
g) Red polish;
h) Purple polish;
i) Top coat.

  And all you need to do is:
1) Apply your base coat to protect your natural nail.
2) Paint your nails white, so it can become a base color to apply the multiple colors.
3) Apply random pink, blue, yellow, green, red and purple dots randomly, so you can fill in almost all white.
4) Apply a top coat to protect your design, and you're done!

  The most fun thing about this design is that you can make any color combination that you want! It's really simple and amazing.

  Hope you enjoyed it.

  Kisses,  
  Patrícia :)

Rainbow marble effect nails w/ no water needed

Hello everyone! :)

  It as been a really nice weather here in Portugal, so I felt inspired and tried this away, and my nails turned out to be pretty. These ones are really simple to do. 



  They look like a water marble effect, but there's no need to use water! All you need is: 
a) 1 plastic bag, 
b) Base coat,
c) White nail polish,
d) Multiple rainbow colors nail polish,
e) Top coat.

  And now, step by step:



1) Apply a light white base coat to protect your natural nail, and also to give a base color to your marble effect. Apply one or two coats. Let it dry.
2) With multiple types of colors, apply a few drops of polish on your nail. Be carefull, don't apply it with excess.
3) Be quick to make steps 2 and 3, because you can't let your nail polish dry. Put your nail against the plastic bag and rub it softly.
4) This is the end result. It'll look a little messy, but it's fine. Let your nail dry.
5) After drying, clean up the polish that's on your cuticles and apply a top coat to protect your design.

 And that's it! I hope you've enjoyed this design. 

  Kisses,

Vintage Nails

Hello everyone! :)

  I haven't been able to take much time and come here to post my things, 'cause to be honest, I didn't even had time to paint my nails properly... BUT! Now I'm back with more, and I hope you like it.

  So, summer finally came in my country, and so did my will to paint my nails! This is a really simple design that turns out to be super cute and classy. I enjoyed doing it and wearing it, I really think my nails turned out to be beautifull!! :P

  Here's the final result: 


  Ain't that pretty? 
  So, to make this design you will need:


a) Base coat;
b) Light blue polish;
c) White polish;
d) Pink polish;
e) Dark pink polish;
f) Yellow polish;
g) Orange polish;
h) Dark green polish;
i) Top coat.

  You will also need a striping brush and a dotting tool.

  I will only explain how to do my thumb and my ring finger 'cause those are the hardest ones to do. 


1) Apply a base coat to protect your natural nail. Apply one or two coats of your light blue polish, on all of your nails..
2) With a striping brush, make a few stripes on your nail. Let it dry.
3) After drying, with a dotting tool or with a tooth pick, make 4 circles on your thumb, 2 pink & 2 yellow, and 1 pink circle on your ring finger.
4) Add details with the tiniest brush you have. Add some darker pink and orange to make the rose shape, add some white to make everything stand out and add some leaves to it. After it all dryed, apply a top coat to seal your design.

  Hope you enjoyed.

  XoXo,
  Patrícia :)
