Start by painting your nails with your base coat and pink polish and let everything dry completely.

Then start doing your argyle pattern with your acrylic paint.

To do the diamond shapes easy start with a cross and the line the tops of the cross and simply fill the square you got.

I’ve done my square pattern with 2 different shades of pink but you can do yours with only one if you want to.Once the acrylic paint has dried, take out your purple and draw some small lines that looks like stitches over the squares.

Tutorial – Neon madness nail art

I went crazy and collected all my Kiss Nail art paint polishes and started doing some crazy nail art.

What you will need:

• Base coat
• White, black, silver polish
• A bunch of neon colors

1. Start with a base coat and one layer of white. The white doesn’t have to be neat, this is just a base for your neon so that they will pop out even more.
2. Once that has dried you will paint your base color. I went for the pink one and it really stands out alot.
3. When that has dried it´s time for the art to take place. On one of the nails start with doing stripes in black.
4. Then stripes in silver glitter.
5. Add dots with black on the black lines.
6. Last but not least add pink dots inside the black dots.
7. Moving on to the next nails. Paint 2 thicker lines with the neon blue down the middle of the nails.
8. Add a silver line and 3 dots in the middle of the blue.
9. In between the silver dots and the on the border of the pink and blue, add 2 pink dots on either side of the blue.
10. Add pink dots inside the silver ones and add silver dots inside the pink ones.
11. On the pinky I simply added some purple dots all over the nail.
12. Then added pink dots inside the purple ones.
13. And last but not least I added purple dots inside the pink ones.
14. Top coat and tadaa!

*Note: I messed up number 5 and 6 in the tutorial picture.

Wooden Nail art tutorial

Its time for another tutorial. This time my inspiration was wood. I like the wooden textures and all the different kinds of brown tones and pattern there is.

So here´s my wooden nails.

What you will need:

Base coat (not in the picture), Nude-, brown-, black-, red-, gold-, yellow- polish and matte top coat.

You can do this with just a bunch of brown tones also, but since I didn’t have that I mixed my own tones of brown.

 

1. Start of with base coat and your nude polish. This nude are from elf-cosmetics and this is one of my absolutely favorites among the nudes Iv’e tried.

 

2. Bring out one of your lighter brown polish or mix your own like me. I mixed dark brown with yellow and gold. Draw lines in a wooden pattern and if you doesn’t know any wooden patter you can google it and find loads of wooden textures. You have to work quite fast so the polish wont get dry and mess up your design. Another trick is to poor a small amount of polish on a wax paper, foil or paper plate and paint one nail at the time.

 

3. Next up is to take another brown polish darker to the one you just used. I mixed red, brown and gold for a more darker and red-toned appearance. Remember That the lines doesn’t have to be neat and perfect. And don’t be afraid to be a bit unsteady and shaky on your hand, that will only make it more naturally.

 

4. Now to the black part. Iv’e just added a few stripes to make a depth to the design, making it look like shadow.

 

5. To finish this of top and seal your design with a matte top coat and your done.

 

 

Hope you’ve liked this tutorial and have a nice weekend. ^.^
