Nail Art Tape & Sequins Tutorial
Nail Art Tape & Sequins Tutorial I've seen this look a few times and every time I kept thinking I have that glitter, I should do that! I haven't done anything with my nails for about two weeks so I thought now is the time to do the sequin nails, I have put it off enough! I gave it a try and I am very happy with how it came out, my ring finger is a little messy but I still like it. Here's what you'll need: A top coat (I use Rimmel Base and Top Coat), base color, sequins glitter, & nail art tape. First, prep for your manicure, to make it last longer. Apply one or two coats of your base color. *I waited till it was dry to apply the glitter but next time I will try it while still wet. With a little clear polish on your toothpick pick up a piece of glitter. Apply the glitter to your nail. *As you can see in my picture it is starting to get messy. Continue adding sequins until you are happy with the look. Apply half of your index finger with glitter. Cut off some tape from your roll. Like it?

Create Ombre Nails With Just One Polish
After progressing from hair to fashion, the ombré trend has made its way to your manicure. The look is simple to recreate at home, and you don’t even have to track down five sequential shades. The secret: you only need color. To get a gorgeous gradient, just pick a single pretty hue and then create your own lighter and darker shades using white or black polishes. Here’s how to get the effect: Step 1 Select your base polish. Step 2 Grab a paper plate, a piece of foil, or an empty egg carton to use as your palette. Step 3 Dab four drops of colored polish onto your work surface. Step 4 Now that you have four new shades, paint the nails on each hand from light to dark. Step 5 Add a glossy top coat to for shine and protection. No time for DIY polish mixing? Anna Norman Anna Norman is a Brooklyn blogger and nail art expert.

DIY Tie Dye Nails ~ Red, White, & Blue Manicure for the 4th of July
I’d been planning a festive red, white, & blue manicure for the 4th of July but hadn’t really come up with any original ideas until I featured a fun tie dye manicure tutorial on BlogHer Style over the weekend and was instantly hit with inspiration. But let me just warn you… this is not a project for the impatient or short-tempered, and why I decided to tie dye only six of my ten nails. However, my nails are very short at the moment and this, along with many nail art techniques are far easier with a larger canvas to paint on. Obviously then, my thumbs turned out the best. But I think with a little practice, the results could be even better, though I do love the final product and how they kind of look like stars AND stripes. Here’s what I used… 1. * I used Essie “Good to Go” top coat and ALMOST added a little glitter sparkles for fun. * You’ll need a pin or toothpick to create your tie dyed effect. How I achieved my tie dye nails… this video tutorial may help if you need it. 1. 5. Have Fun!
Owl Nail Art Tutorial
For this design, you will need several colors of polish, I used OPI San-Tan-Tonio, Color Club Almost Famous, Color Club Twiggie, Sally Hanson Lacey Lilac and a Black and white. YOu will also need dotting tools, or your prefered method of making dots. I used a small detail brush for some elements, but you could also just use the dotting tools or a toothpick. I started with a base coat of San Tan Tonio, this color is prefection and a must have, in my opinion! I then used a large dotting tool to add two large circles connecting in the middle, this will make the mask for the owl, I used the same color and a detail brush to add the wings. Next I added in white with the large dotting tool. The Usinga smaller tool, I added in the black to finish up the eyes I used yellow to add the little feet and a beak I finished up using the detail brush to add some lilac v’s, if you don’t have a detail brush, you could also just add some polka dots.

Spring Nail Art
Courtesy of Miss Pop Nails Nail art is hot this season, and while you might fret that it isn’t office-appropriate (there are some major designs out there!), you can definitely find the right balance between 3-D stacks and pale pink.
