Hi my dearies!
Another nail art tutorial today! :) I didn't get inspiration from a photo but I got inspired on looking for a photo AFTER I've done my nails! LOL Yup, my nail art always reminded me of something AFTER I've done this!
Here's my post-interpretation!
Of course, do not expect my nail art to be as cute as peppermint candies :D
Step 1:
Apply a base coat and apply 2 coats of a matte nail polish. I've used Caronia Regular polish in Apricot Beige
Step 2:
Apply 3 thin lines of white polish on the tip of the nails.
Step 3:
Apply dark pink colored polish to fil in the gaps between the white lines. This doesn't have to be perfect :D
Step 4:
Draw french tip "outline" using black below the red and white lines.
Step 5: (optional)
Apply rhinestones, if you want
Step 6:
Making sure the nail polish and art work is dry, top with a top coat!
I know a lot of my wonderful readers told me they aren't good with nail art :) Well, you can always start with simple painting of your nails, then go up to French tip :) Then flower designs. It really takes time but the outcome is well worth it :)
Have a wonderful day everyone
I hope my simple nail art cheered you up :)
Stay happy :D

Omg this is soo incredibly cute! It looks yummy, hehe! Are you ambidextrous by any chance? I find it so hard to do anything with my left hand cos I'm a rightie >_<
ReplyDeletethat is so awesome! i am so not ambidextrous >.< so i adore your nail art :) but it will look a lot better if you use a pinkish base rather than a brown :P for a youthful glow
ReplyDeleteOO Caronia! I get my aunts to bring Apricot Beige and Touch of Tan to me when they visit! Love those colours
ReplyDeleteWhere do you live? Can I come over so you can do my nails pretty like that! You have soo much talent! When I paint my nails it's so messy and it looks like a 5yr old did it.
ReplyDeleteVivi, I'm a righty too no joke, I promise you I'm telling the truth if I say I can't even write my own name using my left hand! I am surprised at myself for being able to do these, I guess I'm desperately in love of Nail art:)
ReplyDeleteRiellefrancois, you know what? YOU ARE RIGHT! I've thought about that, but I just bought my Caronia polish and I wanted to use it! LOL I'll probably use a pink base in the future :) Thanks
Shexilicious, I guess those are wonderful colors from Caronia right?
ReplyDeleteKendall, I think you coming over would cost you more! hahaha You can do your nails professionally 20x instead of the plane ticket! :P But thanks for the sweet words :)
The apricot beige is super pretty!!:D Such cute nails you did!
ReplyDeleteahhhhhh1 that's super adorable! i wuuvs it!
ReplyDeleteSO COOL!! I love peppermints :) Your nail tutorials are always so awesome and creative, sigh one of these days I will have the time and patience to actually do one!
ReplyDeletenikki this design is soooo cute! :) galing!
ReplyDeleteaww!! soo cute soo cute!!
ReplyDeletei love peppermints!! their my favorite!!
so cutttteee the stripes! i tried painting on fake nails yesterday and i have gotten into a big mess. *SIGH*. nikki, do u know how to paint of soft tips? how to secure the nails in place to paint them??
ReplyDeleteso so cute
ReplyDeletei still cant control thre brush of the nail art pens u gave me
i am such fail at it
I'm always awestruck how you can do such intricate designs on your nails. :D What a talent you've got, Nikki :D Plus, you're so creative!
ReplyDeleteJust amazing! LOVE LOVE LOVE your nail art! you're awesome!
ReplyDeleteFuz, thank yoU! :)
ReplyDeleteM, you are too adorable yourself :D
Audrie, start with putting on nail polish yourself :) Then we can go from there :D
Sabby! How's my studious gal? Thanks for visiting though I know you're super busy!
ReplyDeleteMary, :) I wanted to eat my own nails at times! LOL
Prettybeautiful, have you tried gluing the nail to a bbq stick or something? Then you'll have a handle to hold while you paint the fake nails :)
Yumeko, trust me, it is very tricky to start with, but you'll get the hang of it, try to do french tip with it first :) I always just hold onto the brush steadily then my fingers do the movement :) I hope I'm making sense
ReplyDeleteAnastacia, thanks sweetie!
Very cute Nikki! :)
ReplyDeletethanks for the tips :) think i will get some plasticine and a stick to hold the nail. dumb me :(
ReplyDeletecreative and simple. good job!

Sesame, I'm glad you like my interpretation
Sue, hahahah I'm sure you do :) But you're probably just too busy and tired to do your nails :D
FuN and MakeUp, lol I haven't thought about coffee, now I should name this Peppermint candies on coffee? ehhehe
Devi, *ouch* lol, don't bite! hahaha :D
What an interesting little design! You are so creative, darling.....like everyone else, I don't control the brush too well either. I stick with just regular and boring colors. :(
ReplyDeletethey're prettier than the real peppermints nikki. i never really regarded nail art as fascinating until I bumped into this cozy home.
ReplyDeletecuteness!
ReplyDeleteThis design is so creative and pretty. Looks yummy!
ReplyDeletei love this nail art!! so cute :D
ReplyDeleteyou always inspire me to doll up my nails! :))
Very creative!!! I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI used to hate nude/beige nail polish colors cause back in elementary & middle school my teachers always wear those colors. So I tend to associate them with mean old women! LOL. But now I love them. I guess I'm turning into a mean old woman myself. LOL
yummy interpretation!! hehehe.. so cute !
ReplyDeleteB, you failed! all your polish colors ain't boring at all! :D
ReplyDeletedethroned, thanks so much for such sweet comment and thanks for the visit, great to know you! :D
