5 Nail Looks | How-To, What I Used and what type/where to wear them!!!

5 Nail Looks! I will post pictures of each Nail look in the order I write about them.

●The First Nails are the Matte Black with Shiny Tips.
These are very chic. This is something you would see on a red carpet. You could wear these when you are feeling edgy or very plain and still chic.
- How to do these nails: paint them black, then paint a Matte top coat over them. Take a shiny top coat over the tips. You could also use your black polish again, if you dont have a shiny top coat.

●The Second Nails are pretty girly Accent Nails. You could wear these to prom or when you want to be elegant. These are good for teenager's because they are easy, and very pretty for dances and things like that.
- How to do these nails: Paint all but your Accent nail a white/pink color, then paint the accent nail a shimmery silver or gold.
Anything shimmery or metallic for the accent nail will be perfect for this look.

●The Third Nails are fun and summery. Multi-colored nails are great for a pop of color. These are eye catching nails, and again good for teenagers because they are fun and great for summer, the beach and parties.
-How to do these nails: Ive seen these nails done with a makeup sponge, but I didnt have one So I used an eyeshadow applicator. Just dab a side of the applicator into a color and dab it onto the bottom of your nail. Take another color on another side and dab that in the middle, overlapping the bottom slightly so it will be like a gradient affect. Same for the top, get your third color and dab it on top. Then just go over them once more mixing the colors a little, so its not a perfect 3 lines. Dont worry if you dont cover the nails on the first layer, it takes two to cover them. The best shades to use for these nails are pastels and brights.

●The Fourth and Fifth Nails are the same just different base colors.
These nails are very flirty and fun, yet still easy and simple. You could wear these to prom and well pretty much anywhere. These are good for just an everyday nail that looks girly and like you did more work than you really did.
-How to do these nails: So for the lighter Accent Nails I used a White/Pink shade on every nail. Then Used Revlon-Girly polish on the Accent nail. The darker purple nails I used a purple Zoya polish all over the nails and the Revlon polish again over the accent nail. What I love about these nails is the chuncky glitter polish. The polish is mixed in with a light base so you can pretty much add this polish over top any other color and it will go with it. Glitter is fun and catches your eye. So im sure you will get tons of compliments on them!

Nails Of The Day! Half Moon Nail Design! Contrasting Colors!

I love this Half moon Shape Nail Design. I think they are fun, yet simple and classy.

The Nail polish I used:
Sally Hansen- Tickled Pink
Pac Sun Polish called Poppy.

I love contrasting colors. The pink has a cool undertone and the Gold has a warm undertone, so they contrast nice. I love doing this with my clothes and nails too!

See you later lovelies!

DIY Nail Dotting Tool! + Some simple items you can use for Quick Easy Nail Art!

Doing my nails is definitely not my strong point. I love wearing nailpolish, but I normally can't get too fancy with it since I'm not that good at painting them.
This is why I love dotting tools. You don't have to be good at it. They do all the work for you. They make perfect dots and its so simple. I didn't have a dotting tool, so I decided to make my own!
All you need is a Bobby pin. You can also use a Q-Tip, I just didnt have any. Dip the end of the pin into your nailpolish and dot unto your nail.
There are tons of designs you can make with this. I decided to keep it quick and simple. I did some dots along the tips of my nail, right down the center and then I did some all over.

The next thing used to help make a design was some masking tape. I cut a peice off and stuck it on the corner of my counter. Then cut a triangle out of the middle. I stuck it to my nail and used it as a stencil to paint a triangle.
So easy! If you're trangle isn't completely straight, just go back over the outside of your triangle with your base color to straighten them.

The last thing I did was a half moon shape on my pinkie nail. This was so easy. I just used the tape again and stuck it over 2/3 of the nail and painted the rest. I then used my nail brush to round off the edges so they went in a curve instead of a straight line. If you don't have a nail brush you can use a flat makeup brush.
