Cupcake Nail Art Tutorial. You will need: Nail polish in assorted colours. Nail art pen /thin paintbrush Dotting tool of some variety (I use a crochet hook, but things like toothpicks would work.) Clean, rounded nails work best, & if you use a basecoat, now is the time to apply it. Firstly, paint your nails in your base colour of choice. This will be your "cup" colour. Paint 5 stripes vertically up your nails.

Next, paint a thick line across your nails, halfway up. Now blob 3 dots over the stripe you just made, make sure not to cover it completely. Now carefully blob a drop of colour at the tip of your nails. Your nails should now look something like this. Now you can add your "sprinkles". You can go for one colour of sprinkles, or rainbow ones like I did. Nail art finished! I hope this helps some of you, nail art is much easier than it looks. Georgina. Laser Disco Nail Art Tutorial.

You can keep it simple within the same color family or go bold and crazy—whatever suits your mood! Step 1: Get Your Supplies Together To start, make sure you have all of your supplies handy. For this manicure, you will need three different nail polishes (make sure that at least two of them are thick enough that they can cover the base color), Scotch tape, and a fast-dry topcoat like Seche Vite. For this manicure, I used two colors from the new Minnie Mouse Collection by OPI, If You Moust You Moust and The Color of Minnie, along with my favorite silver nail polish, Stardust by Deborah Lippmann. Step 2: Paint a Base Color Start with your favorite basecoat and paint your nails the base color. Step 3: Start Taping Next, pull off a small piece of Scotch tape (you won’t need more than an inch at a time) and put it against your hand and pull it off several times until most of the stickiness is gone.

Step 4: Apply the Second Color Step 6: Marvel at Your Work.
