Ombre Nail Tutorial by Anna Delores Photography. Greetings, Julie Ann Art readers! My name is Emily and I'm visiting from the Anna Delores blog. The amazing (as you already know) Julie Ann agreed to let me share a fun nail trend that is also really, really easy to execute: ombre nails. The ombre manicure made its appearance as a hot trend last summer, and it's back and better than ever for 2012. You can go matte, shimmer, glitter, or merge colors on one nail with sneaky makeup tool tricks -- but I'm giving you the EASY version today, just to get you started.
When I first saw this trend, I thought I'd need five different polishes in the same color family, just lighter and darker versions of each other. I knew I had enough polishes to make it happen (I think I have 15+ polishes just in pinks), but shades can vary so much -- some are warm tones, some are cool tones, some are shimmery, some are matte, etc. Measure out four dollops of your dark polish (I originally did five because I was thinking, five fingers, right?
And voilà! Xo, Emily. 12 Wild Ways to Rock Neon Nails This Summer. By Jaime Morrison Curtis | It is no surprise that neon is coming in full force this summer. I was a bit hesitant at first to jump on this trend (maybe I’ll love it so much I’ll have revert to my 80s three-sets-of-neon-scrunch-socks days) but as soon as I tried on a neon tank I couldn’t help but love it.

I'm off to Ireland tomorrow for a week but I had to take a break from cramming clothes into my teeny case to share this nail art tutorial with you because I'm just so damn excited! You may have noticed that tie dye has started to creep back into the high street, no it's not the 80's but it seems the fashion world is staging yet another revival. (as a closet hippy I'm quite excited at the prospect of getting out the fabric dye and tie dyeing my tees but for the moment I think these nails will have to suffice!)
To try this water marble technique you will need a few things. a small bowl, a bottle of still mineral water, white nail polish, assorted coloured nail polishes cocktail sticks, sellotape and a pair of hands! Before you start you need to paint your nails with white polish, this will be your base colour! When dry cover all of your thumb in sellotape apart from the white thumb nail. now your prepped for the fun part... this is where the fun starts! Caroline x. Cosmic girl! DIY galaxy nail art. Have you noticed galaxy print tee's, leggings and vests seem to have taken over the high street?! I've taken this inspiration for my latest nail art. I thought I'd share it with you as it's surprisingly easy to do yourself! First paint a dark base coat, most people would use black but I have a really dark navy from models own and I opted to use that instead. now pick an assortment of colours, I went for blue, yellow, pink, orange and white. now take a small piece of sponge, you'll be using this to dab on different rainbow colours for a cosmic pattern on your nails. get dabbing, you can be totally ramdon here!
Using a toothpick or dotting tool dot on a few white dots to suggest stars. you can seal with a clear topcoat or for an even better effect use a clear glitter polish! What do you think? Caroline x.
