for those who know me personally, know that I do my own nails and nail designs myself. I have done anything from hearts to puzzles to color blocking. so with doing my nails tonight I figure I help all the dolls who don't have the money to go to a nail shop but want their nails to look like they did. so i am going to show you how to do the design that I did tonight. the first picture is the end result and I will walk you through it step by step!
THE END RESULT
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
CLEAR POLISH
POLISH WITH GLITTER (PINK)
LILAC OR LAVENDAR NAIL POLISH
PEARL COLORED POLISH (PINK)
THE BRANDS THAT I USED WAS AVON IN LOVING LAVENDAR-$1.50,KLEANCOLOR IN AURORA-$2.00, L.A COLORS BASE COAT CLEAR POLISH-$1 AND L.A PEARL PINK - FREE (GOT IT AS A GIFT FROM MY COUSIN)
AFTER WASHING YOUR HANDS AND DRYING IT COMPLETELY, APPLY A COAT OF CLEAR POLISH AND LET IT DRY. THEN TAKE THE PEARL PINK POLISH AND POLISH HALF OF THE NAIL, STARTING FROM THE CUTICLE TO THE MIDDLE IN A UPWARD MOTION. LET DRY FOR ABOUT 3 MINS.
SECOND STEP:
AFTER FIRST POLISH HAS DRIED, APPLY THE LAVENDAR POLISH IN A CROSS LIKE MOTION TO WHERE YOU CAN SEE A TRIANGLE FORM WHERE THE CUTICLE IS. THEN POLISH THE TOP OF THE NAILS. USE TWO TO THREE COATS AND LET DRY FOR 3-5 MINUTES. SOME WOULD STOP HERE AND APPLY CLEAR COAT AND THIS BE THE DESIGN BECAUSE IT IS CUTE,BUT IF YOU WANT TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE, CONTINUE TO STEP THREE.
THIRD STEP:
AFTER LAVENDAR POLISH HAS DRIED, APPLY THE POLISH WITH THE GLITTER ON THE LAVENDAR PARTS. YOU MAY NEED MULTIPLE COATS DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF POLISH WITH GLITTER YOU USING OR HOW MUCH GLITTER YOU WANT. THE ONE I WAS USING HAD PINK STARS AND GOLD FLAKES IN IT SO I USED ABOUT FOUR COATS UNTIL I GOT THE STARS HOW I WANTED THEM. LET YOUR NAILS DRY ABOUT 5 MINUTES OR LONGER THEN APPLY THE CLEAR COAT TO SEAL IN THE DESIGN AND LET DRY.
FINAL STEP: AFTER THE CLEAR COAT HAS DRIED, MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE ACCESS POLISH FROM THE SIDE OF YOUR FINGERS AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR NAILS ARE DRIED. IF TAKING CARE OF PROPERLY, THIS STYLE SHOULD LAST YOU FOR ABOUT 3-5 DAYS!
I HOPE THIS HELP YOU OUT, AND ILL SHOW YOU OTHER DESIGNS THAT I HAVE DONE ON MY NAILS- IF YOU WANT ME TO DO A TUTORIAL ON THEM, JUST COMMENT WHAT YOU WILL LIKE TO SEE AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET TO THEM!!
