Snowflakes Nails

Hello everyone!

  This week I've decided to make a design inspired by this beautiful winter, this cold weather etc. Winter is a season that I love, but unfortunately, it never snows in here. And that makes me really sad, 'cause I've never seen snow.

  But well, if I can't have snow outside my door, why not having some snowflakes on my nails? :) This is the how they look like:

  So, to make these nails you will need:

a) Base/Top coat;

b) White nail polish;

c) Blue nail polish;

d) Silver nail polish and silver glitter;

e) Striping brush;

f) Toothpick. 

  My blue nails are very simple to do: 

1) Take a good care of your nail and apply a base coat. Paint your nail a few coats of blue nail polish.

2) With silver glitter and a toothpick, apply glitter to your nail, make it tighter in the base of your nail and spread it out. Apply a top coat to make it all even.

  To my white nails: 

1) Take a good care of all of your nails and apply a base coat. Paint your nail white.

2) Make an half-circle with a silver nail polish, and with a toothpick, apply a few silver glitters on top of it.

3) With a striping brush, circle the silver half-circle and make 5 stripes in opposite directions. After that make 3 diagonal little stripes in each side of the main stripes. Apply a top coat to protect your design. 

  And that's it. Super easy to do and perfect for winter. 

  Kisses,

Day 12 - Stripes

Hello everyone! 

  So, after a long break with tons of work I finally found some time to make a few nail designs and to post them in here. In this particular case I've made no tutorial, 'cause the design is extremly easy to do.

  This is my 31 Days Nails Challenge - 12th day - Stripes! And it's inspired by the beautiful colors of winter, actually my favorite color, purple! 

  They are super easy to do. There's a few things that you must have to do this design:

a) Base/Top nail polish;

b) Purple nail polish;

c) White nail polish;

d) Striping tape.

  All you need to do is:

1) Take a good care of your nail and apply a base coat. Paint all of your nails purple, except for your ring finger, paint it white.

2) With a striping tape, apply a tiny piece diagonally, a little bit above the mid of your nail. Then, apply a few striping tapes vertically, with similar spaces between them.

3) After that, paint the bottom half of your nail with white, and purple in your ring finger. Make them one by one, and after paiting it, remove immediately all the striping tape, this way you won't make any mistake. 

4) Last but not least, apply a fast drying top coat to seal your design.

  And that's it. Hope you enjoyed this nail art that I've made. 

  Kisses, 

  Patrícia! :*
