Tutorial: Girly Coral with white stripes

Hello again everyone! I'm happy to bring another tutorial to you guys this Monday afternoon. I hope you're all having a wonderful day. I was inspired to do this design when I saw a cute phone case on amazon the other day. I'll insert a picture of the case at the end of the tutorial if you want to see it. Today's tutorial is pretty simple, so let's get into it. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I'd love to hear from you. If you try this design out, share it with me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, I'd love to see! Like me on Facebook to see more from me. I'm also on Instagram and Pinterest, and Twitter . Check out my other blog if you'd like to see non nail related blogs. Have a blessed day,

Products used:
Base coat: Nail-aid, Triple Wrap Thickener

Pinky/Coral: Sally Hansen, I Pink I Can

Chunky silver glitter: Pure Ice, Dazzle Me

Silver glitter striper: Ice Breaker

White: Apple Barrel Colors, White 

Top coat: Sally Hansen, Insta-Dri

Detail brush

Dotting tool

 Step 1: As always, start by applying your favorite base coat.

 Step 2: Using the color of your choice paint your accent nails. I chose my thumb and ring finger to be my accent nails. 

 Step 3: Using the same color, on your non accent nails paint angled tips. I find it easiest to start at the bottom and sweep my brush upward. 

 Step 4: Using either a white nail striper, or white paint and a detail brush paint vertical lines on your tips. You can make them as thick or thin as your like. I used a detail brush and white acrylic paint. This design would still look nice if you skip this step.

 Step 5: On your accent nails use the same nail striper/detail brush and paint, and paint diagonal lines in one direction. It should look kind of like a pink candy cane.

 Step 6: use the same nail striper/detail brush and paint, and paint diagonal lines in the opposite direction. Crossing over the first set of lines. Creating diamond shapes, like fishnets, or lattice.

 Step 7: This step is optional, but I love how it turned out. I took a chunky silver glitter, and put some of it on a piece of paper. Then I took a dotting tool, and picked up the large hexagonal glitter out one by one and placed them where the lines crossed. 

 Step 8: Using a silver glitter striper, place a line of silver glitter at the base of your angled tips. This just creates a more finished look.

 Step 9: Allow your design to dry for a couple minutes, and apply your favorite top coat. Then go in with a cotton bud or paint brush dipped in nail polish remover and clean up any polish that might have gotten on your skin. You're all done, this was the final step! 

NOTD: Pinky/Coral scalloped nails

Hello again everyone! What do you guys think about my new blog design? I worked hard on it yesterday, and I love it! I have another NOTD(nails of the day) for you. I'm not sure how I feel about these nails to be honest. I kinda like them, but they aren't quite what I had imaged when I thought up the design. That happens sometimes though, and I don't have time nor patience to redo them. I figured I'd share them with you despite how they turned out. I hope you all enjoy them more than I do. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I'd love to hear from you. If you try this design out, share it with me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, I'd love to see! Like me on Facebook to see more from me. I'm also on Instagram and Pinterest, and Twitter .

Have a blessed day,

Products used:

Base coat: Nail-aid, Triple Wrap Thickener 

Mint green: Pure Ice, Home Run!

Pink/Coral: Sally Hansen, I Pink I Can

Holographic Silver: L.A. Colors, Live

Fine silver glitter: Sinful Colors, Queen of Beauty

Chunky silver glitter: Pure Ice, Dazzle Me

1 Detail brush, and dotting tool

 Pinky: I started with mint green, then using a detail brush to do the coral stripes, then went in with a white acrylic paint and added the white stripes. Next I took the larger hexagonal pieces out of the dazzle me polish and placed them one by one on the white lines. 

Ring Finger: I started with a holographic silver polish, and then applied 2 coats of chunky silver glitter. 

Middle finger: I started with the coral polish, then made a white triangle using acrylic paint. Then a slightly smaller triangle using mint green polish, then an even smaller triangle using silver holographic polish and then topped the silver triangle with a fine silver glitter. Here is my detailed tutorial for this nail design.

Index finger: I started with the mint green polish. Then using a detail brush and the coral polish, I made a thin vertical stripe going down the center of my nail. Then using the white acrylic paint and a detail brush I outlined the color stripe. Then I used the large hexogonal glitters from dazzle me I placed them one by one with a dotting tool up the center of the coral stripe.

Thumb: I started with the coral polish. Then I went in with the mint polish and a detail brush and painted the chevron print. I picked one line and filled it in with the holographic silver, and then topped that with the fine silver glitter.

NOTD: Pink, and While polka dots

Hello again, everyone! I hope you're ready for a new post! Although, I guess it doesn't matter if you're ready or not. Today's post is another, Nail of the day. I'm loving these nails! They are really simple, I think anyone could do them. They look girly, and ready for spring. When I get my video camera working, I can record a video tutorial if you'd like. It's so simple, Start with your favorite base coat, paint your nails with whatever color you'd like in whatever way you'd like. When your polish has dried go in with a dotting tool, or a toothpick, and place your dots in whatever color you want. I finished my tips with a line of silver glitter again. Then add a top coat and that's it! I hope you like my nails today, and if you try the look out let me know, I'd love to see! You can share your pictures on my Facebook page!

Have a blessed day,
