Nautical Nail Art Tutorial.
What you need:
Base colour polish (dark blue), white nail polish, red nail polish, gold glitter polish, dark blue gitter polish, clear polish, thin long nail art brush, red star diamantes.
First thing is to clean and prep your nails.
If you use a base coat, apply this now.
Lay down a base coat of colour.
I needed a couple of coats to make it opaque.
These nails have 3 different designs for each finger.
Here’s number 1:
Load your thin brush with red polish.
Apply a stripe down one side of the nail.
Fill it in with polish.
Repeat on another nail on the other side.
Now load your brush with white and draw 2 horizontal stripes from the red to the edge of the nail.
Clean up any mistakes with an orange stick.
Wait for it to dry then add a gold stripe on the edge of red.
On the next nail make 3 horizontal stripes in dark blue glitter.
Add gold stripes in between the blue ones.
While the polish is still wet add some red diamante stars in a line down the center.
Now let’s do the thumbs.
using the thin brush, add a diagonal stripe of red polish across the tip.
Once it’s dry, add a white stripe over the edge.
Using the gold glitter polish, paint an anchor.
Start with a line down the center, add a cross and dot to the top then a curve at the bottom with arrows on each side.
Finish by repeating the designs on all nails.
And give them a clear coat over the top.
All finished.
I hope you found the tutorial useful.

Short tutorial on chocolate dipped nail art made for my blog. I have done this design for several occasions and it’s always a bit hit.
To answer the most asked question: yes the brown polish dries quickly but it does depend on the formula. It works the best if you use a quick dry formula. Also the polish used in this clip is a fairly transparent black/brown even though it is named “Black Out”.

Chocolate dipped macaron nail art tutorial.
What you need:
base colour polish (light purple), white polish, dark brown polish, pink polish, clear polish, thin nail art brush, orange stick.
First thing is to clean and prep your nails.
If you use a base coat, apply this now.
Lay down a base coat of colour.
I used two coats for an even finish.
Load up a regular brush with the dark brown.
Make sure you get lots on the brush so it’s a bit drippy.
Use the brush to deposit a drop of polish half way down the nail and with less pressure, slowly drag to the tip.
Repeat with a few mm gap between the drops.
Then add a smaller one between them to join.
Keep adding dribbles until the nail is covered.
You need to use a decent amount of polish or you won’t get the drippy effect.
Now let’s draw on a macaron.
Load up the thin brush with white.
And draw a thin line of dots for the filling.
Load your brush with pink.
Draw a line of pink the same width as the filling above it.
Add a dome for the top.
Repeat under the filling too.
Once the polish is tacky, use an orange stick to make pock marks along the lid areas of the maracon.
Clear coat the whole thing and you’re all done.
I hope you found the tutorial useful.

Houndstooth nail art tutorial.
What you need: base colour polish (white), black acrylic paint, clear polish, thin nail art brush.
First thing is to clean and prep your nails.
I you use a base coat, apply this now.
Lay down a base coat of colour.
I needed a couple of coats to make it opaque.
Load the thin brush with black paint and draw a small square in the centre of the nail.
Add two small triangles from the lower corner of the square.
Add two small lines coming from the diagonal corners.
This is the shape you want to end up with.
Continue by adding squares to above and below the first one.
And repeat the pattern.
Add to the pattern on the sides as well to completely cover the nail.
Wait until it’s dry then add a clear coat. Finished.
Even if it’s a little messy from further away it’s a really effective pattern.

Gradient nail art tutorial.
What you need:
light nail polish (Grey glitter), medium nail polish (pink glitter), dark polish (purple glitter), clear polish, orange stick or similar.
First thing is to clean and prep your nails. If you use a base coat, apply it now.
Lay down a base coat of the lightest colour.
I needed two coats to make it relatively opaque.
Wait until that is completely dry.
Using the medium polish coat the top half of the nail.
Use the flat end of the orange stick, squish the edge of the polish down and blend with the base coat.
The easiest way to do this is to tap repeatedly until it looks right.
If you don’t have an orange stick you could also use a cotton bud or your finger.
All blended.
Next use your dark polish to apply a line at the tip.
Again, blend with the orange stick until it looks nice.
Now it’s just a matter of adding more of each colour until the colour change looks natural.
Add some more of the middle colour and blend.
And more of the dark colour, blend etc.
This is what you want to end up with.
Once it’s all dry, add a clear top coat.
Clean up anything around the nail and you’re all finished.

Thanks so much for watching.
Bye!

Zebra print nail art tutorial.
What you need:
White polish, black acrylic paint, clear polish, think paint brush.
First thing is to clean and prep your nails. If you use a base coat, apply this now.
Lay down a base coat of white.
To get a clean finish I needed two coats of white.
Wait until everything is completely dry.
Pour out some acrylic paint.
Using a thin brush make a wavy “V” shape on one side of the nail.
Repeat on the other side.
Now following the V lines make more squiggles until the nail is full.
You could use black polish for this but acrylic paint is easier to work with.
Once it’s dry give the whole thing a cleat coat and that’s it.
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.

Until a week or so ago I had ever even thought of heart shaped pompoms but I saw this at a craft shop and it started my brain working overtime!
Thing is that they wanted $25 for it *_* and after reading the instructions it basically looked like it just made regular pompoms that you then trimmed into a heart shape. Well I can do that at home for free!
![]( "Jump")
|
My result…
There are various ways to make pompoms, when I was a kid we cut 2 cardboard circles and threaded the yarn through. Now that I’m older the novelty of cutting out cardboard circles has worn off so I take the lazy way:
What you need:
- Yarn
- Scissors/small sharp nail scissors
- Something hard which is roughly the diameter you want the finished pompom to be, I used an eyeshadow palette you could just use your fingers.
Start wrapping the yarn around the eyeshadow.
Keep wrapping until you have a decent amount like this:
Slide the yarn off…
Hold it like this…
Use another piece of yarn to tie around the middle tightly or if you want to take the easier way: a thin rubber band. If you want to hang it off something you can leave the piece of yarn long.
Cut all of the loops…
And it will look like this:
Repeat on the other side and you have a basic pompom!
Now it’s time to trim it into a heart! Use you scissors to cut the bottom into a basic point.
Like this…
Then cut a wedge out of the top to make a heart.
Now you’ve got the basic shape it’s time to trim with some small sharp scissors until it’s perfect.
Her you can see I’ve een working on the right side while the left is still long and messy:
And done!
You might want put down a sheet of paper or something to catch all the fluff that you’re cutting off XD
Very cute craft project and once you get in the swing of things they don’t take very long to make 😀
Now to think of where to hang them all! |
