Dear Snowman

The first time you never forget! This morning I saw the snow, just a beginning of snow, but for me was wonderful!

Thinking about that first experience, I created this design.

Materials:

Nail polish colours: dark blue, blue, white, black, orange. I used a nail dotter pen, a small brush, some white glitter, small silver balls, small blue balls, and a sponge.

Paint the nails with the dark blue. To create the ombre effect I used the sponge technique, see here how to make.

For the snowflakes use the small brush and the white nail polish. I decided make them very simple.

On the ring nails, make two big dots with the white nail polish and the dotter pen, for the snowman. With the brush and the black colour create the eyes, mouth and buttons. With the orange colour make the famous carrot nose.

Add glitter on the tip of each nail, I use the sponge and the top coat to pad where exactly I want. On the snowman, make the scarf and hat with small blue balls. On the middle of each snowflake put the small silver ball. Don´t forget a good top coat to protect the design!

I hope you enjoy this design. I am still here waiting for more snow to make my real snowman!

Give it a try!

Xmas theme

We are in Xmas time and my nails as well!

Classic colours

Materials: red, golden, green and white nail polishes. Nail dotter pen, small brush, and red crystal stones.

Firstly use the white nail polish. The index and ring nails are completely cover by the white colour, but the other ones paint half nail (look at the first picture).

When it is dry, make dots with the green colour and the dotter pen, on each nail that are painted with half white.

On the index and ring nails make two strips with the green and a small brush.

For the red bow, use the dotter pen and the red colour.

Finally, with the golden colour, make a strip on each half painted nail.

On the middle of each bow, add the red crystal stone.

For the small Santa use a smart technique: Paint it on a sandwich plastic bag the day before, using white nail polish as a base. When you are ready to use it, with a tweezers, carefully remove the design from the plastic and put onto nail. I learned this technique here, with 'Cute Polish'.

A good top coat to protect your beautiful design, and…Well done!

I hope you enjoy!

The 70´s pattern

This is a lively design like the patterns in the 70´s.

I really enjoy the result!!!

For the first time that you see, looks like a difficult design, but it isn´t.

I have been started to use some acrylic paints. It´s a different way to paint

Materials: Yellow nail polish, brown and siena acrylic. Nail brush and nail dotter pen.

I chose to make a drawing on the ring finger (butterfly) and the pattern on the other ones.

For the pattern, first paint the nails yellow.

With the nail brush and the brown acrylic paint, make a strip in the middle of the nail. Make more two strips beside the first one, using the sepia acrylic paint.

With the same acrylic colour of the strip and a dotter pen you make medium dots (look at the drawing below).

When the medium dots are completely dry, make small dots in the centre of each medium ones, but with the opposite colour.

Just it! Give it a try!!!

Have a nice week…

Lace Nail

Hey everyone.

Does someone thinking to be a future bride?

This design is not difficult and the result is awesome!

I used just few materials.

Nail polish colours: light white and white.

Some small silver balls, and the nail dotter pen.

First paint the nails with the light white.

Make a diagonal strip in each finger white the white nail polish. If this step is hard to you, use some tape or special tape for French manicure to help you.

For the lace detail use the nail dotter pen and the white polish to make it.

Finally add some accessories. Some small pearls would be perfect.

Don´t forget a good top coat!

Good luck!

Cupcake

Ok, I know...Girls love pink!

At least once a week I create a new design on my nails and post it on my Facebook. This design is one of the most commented by girls, and also by boys.

You can also add more accessories and make this design more gorgeous.

Materials

Nail polish colours: white, light pink and pink.

Accessories: pink crystal stones, pink glitter and small purple balls. A nail brush (special for strips), and the nail dotter pen.

Paint your thumb and middle nails with the pink nail polish. Paint the index and the little nails with the light pink colour.

With the white colour and the dotter pen make small dots in the little nails.

In the middle nails, with the light pink colour and the nail brush make some strips.

In the thumbs make a lovely heart.

Paint the ring fingers with a base coat.

For the cupcake use the white polish first to make a big dot in the middle of the nail. With the pink colour paint the tip of the nail below the big dot).

When it is dry, make three small dots below the big dot.

Below the cake, over the pink colours, make some strips with the light pink colour, then you have the cup!

For the grand finale add the accessories.

Well done! Don´t forget a good top coat to protect the beautiful design.

Give it a try!
