Summer Nails: Three Easy Designs!

It's summertime and the sun is shinning brighter than ever! Here are three easy nail designs perfect for this fun season. All of these designs are inspired by my favorite season of the year, SUMMER! They require no special tools but polishes, toothpick, a makeup sponge, and nail polish remover for clean up. (I bet you already have all of these already, so let's try these designs together!)

Design #1: watermelon nails. 

I don't know about you, but there is no other fruit for that is most perfect for summer than a delicious slice of red jucy watermelon. Not only does it taste awesome, but it's super healthy because it is full of antioxidants and it's great for keeping you cool and hydrated during those hot summer days!so why not show it off in your nails? 

Here are the items I used yo create these watermelon looking nails: 

Design #2: Colorful Gradient Ombre Nails

Nothing shouts summer than bold bright fun colors. This nail design is perfect because it is an explosion of just that! This design looks complicated, but it is the funnest and easiest to do. It's a bit messy and you need quite a few polishes, but it's all worth it!!! It kinda reminds me of tye die raimbow or a beautiful beach sunset. 

Here are all the items I used for these colorful gradient summer nails:

Design #3: Summer Flower nails

Summer flowers are so bright and gorgeous! Despite ge intense heat, some of the most beatiful flowers actually bloom during the summer. That's why I chose this nail design to be a floral one. I chose a bright orange and it's complementary color, blue, to make this a great summer nail design!

Here are the items I used for this third summery nail design

🇺🇸4th of July nails🎉

What a better way to celebrate this coming Independence Day than by having a patriotic nail design that show off red, blue and white! 

This nail design is so easy perfect for 4th of July and you'll be sure to get compliments! 

Here's what I used and what you'll need to do this design yourself! You don't have to use these exact same products, but I'm just showing you what I used:)

1)Start by using the silver polish and painting all your nails. White would also be a perfect color instead of silver if you like.                                                                     
2)Using bundle monster Image plate BM-205, paint the image on the far right. Use red polish to cover half of the design, and red for the other half. Use your scraper to scrape the excess paint. 

3)transfer the image to the konad stamp and roll the stamper with the image over the nail. Repeat to all fingers.                                               
4)use a q-tip dipped in nail polish remover or acetone to remove any nail polish from your skin or cuticle around the nail.                              
5)use a clear nail polish over the design to use as an adhesive fir the next step.                              6)use small glitter stars and apply them on your nail in the center between the red and blue. You can finish by applying a glossy topcoat that will deal everything together. 

I really hope you liked this design.

2015 Easy Back To School Nails: Cute Pink Pencil Nail Art Design

Back to school is just around the corner and what a better way to start classes than with the manicure shows off the most used  school tool; the pencil.  This fun and easy nail look will get you many compliments from your school mates and the best part is you can do it your self, and it doesn't require Any special tools or artistic skills!

Here's what all I used for this nail design:

➡Tape (preferably clear tape)

➡Sheer pink nail polish (Nicole by o.p.i-Blush of adrenaline)

➡Silver nail polish (Sally Hansen insta dry - 230 silver sweep)

➡Pink nail polish (Sally Hansen insta dry-fast fuchsia)

➡Black striper (L.A colors art deco-black )

➡ I also used acetone to clean around skin as well as base and top coat (Seche Vite)

1)Cut a small strip of tape and apply it to the nail near the cuticle area. The tape will serve as a stencil to get straight lines.

2) Paint with silver polish and remove tape. 

3)After the silver has completely dried, cut another strip of tape and place it about 1/2 cm over the silver and paint over it with the pink polish. Don't remove the tape yet!

4)Using the black striper paint vertical lines over the pink. Remove the tape.

5)Repeat to all fingers except the ring finger. They should look like the top "eraser" parts of a pencil (a pink pencil :)

6)For the ring finger,  cut two small pieces of tape and place them on the nail forming a "V" shape.

7)At the tip, use the black striper and paint about 1/4 of the nail (starting from the tip). This will create the lead part of the pencil.  

8) Next, use the pink polish, and this time paint 1/2 cmm away from the black and paint all the way to the cuticle area.Once dry, add another piece of tape horizontally so that only the pink is left exposed.

9)With the tape still on, use the black striper to draw vertical lines 

10)Remove all pieces of tape and viola, you have a pencil! You can use a q-tip with acetone for clean ups around the nail and add your favorite top coat on all nails. 

I hope you like this design and give it a try :) Also good luck in school!

Dolphin in waves nails

This gorgeous nail look was inspired by the beautiful waves of the sea and one of its most adorable creature; the dolphin. It is a great summer nail look that also features the ombré look which is trending right now!

This design may look very difficult  and time consuming but it really isn't!

These are the things I used:

Base color:

➡White nail polish (Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear- 300 White on ) I used white as the base color on all my nails. I like to do this so that the colors I use for sponging will show more vibrant. 

For sponging (make sure the white base is completely dry before proceeding):

➡Cosmetic triangle shaped sponge 

➡Mint nail polish ( Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear- 340 mint sorbet)

➡Blue nail polish (Sally Hansen insta dry- blue by!)

*I added a generous amount of the mint nail polish to the sponge and then applied the blue nail polish overlapping them on the center. I then sponged on to all my nails. You need to reapply paint after each finger.

➡Q-tips and acetone i used these to clean my fingers because nail polish will get on your fingers when sponging!

For the dolphin and waves nail art:

➡Konad stamper and scraper

➡Dolphin stamping design Image plate M-71

➡Waves stamping design bundle monster BM-216. I don't think this image is meant to be a wave. It is a French tip design but it just reminded me of waves so I thought I would use it as such.

➡Black stamping polish (Kleancolor black). I used this to stamp the dolphin image on the center of each of my finger after making sure that the gradient created through sponging was completely dry. 

➡White stamping polish (konad white special polish). I used this to stamp the wave image on the tips of all my fingers.

Magnetic leopard/cheetah nails

I recently got my hands on some magnetic polishes. They've been around for a long time now, but I honestly didnt think they would work. I saw some at the store the other day on sale and decided to give hem a try. I got the brown and purple one. 

I tried them as soon as I got home from the store. I was not  successful on my first try. My problem was that when I put the magnet over the nail, I would keep rotating the magnet thinking it would make a better effect on the nail. That didn't work!

For my second attempt I actually read the directions and it worked. I could clearly see the pattern created by the magnet and was so amazed! 

I immediately fell in love with these magnetic polishes. They  look great on their own, but I just wanted to try something different. I thought that the effect resembled the color of a cheetah/leopard if I stamped the pattern over it. So I gave it a try and I loved it! 

Here's what you'll need if you want to recreate this look:

➡Base and top coat (orly top 2 bottom)

➡Brown magnetic nail polish. (Sally Hansen magnetic polish (901 golden coconut). I have the polish a shake to "activate" the magnet in the polish and  I applied one coat and let it dry. I then applied a thicker, second coat and pit the magnetic cap over the nail. Make sure it doesn't touch the actual nail. Leave it for 10 seconds and remove. Viola! You'll be left with a gorgeous magnetic effect on your nails. I did this on all my nails

➡Stamper and scraper (konad)

➡ Cheetah/leopard image plate (bundle monster m-221

➡Black stamping nail polish (Kleancolor black) I used this to stamp the cheetah design from the image plate on to ally nails. 

➡I also used acetone to clean up exceeds polish on my skin, stamper, scraper and image plate.
