Nail art tutorial! Yay!!! I've been lazy with my nails recently as my last nail art as seen here was sported for 2 weeks! Yes it survived 2 weeks with just a small chip on my left pinkie finger! :)
Some of my readers are sweet enough to email to to request for more gradient nails. I am personally fond of gradient nails as I love combining different colors to come out something unique! This isn't very unique but it's something I would sport on a daily basis :) Hope you like this!
Step 1:
Apply a base coat to protect your nails. Apply 2 coats of platinum polish. I am using ELF's.
Step 2:
Drop a thick polish of light purple color, using a brush, brush it downward towards you. Do this as quickly as possible
Step 3:
Drop a darker purple polish color on the tip of your nails and do the same downward strokes.
Step 4:
Drop 2 lines of white dots, do as many dots as you like. You can make this vertical, horizontal, or in my case, slanting.
Step 5:
Draw 5 bigger dots of Pink nail art pen, use a needle method to create a flower
Step 6:
Apply rhinestone in the middle of the flower to create a sparkly flower bud.
Step 7:
Top everything with a silver glitter polish.
Step 8:
Apply top coat, sit back, let dry, and relax :D
If you wonder where I get my rhinestones?
I do have them available in my Prettynails Shop
Thanks so much for being a part of my daily beauty habit! :)
Hope Tuesday treats everyone fine!
Keep smilin'
Stay Happy!

your nails remind me a petals of flowers! looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNuuuuu! For blending try using a small sponge. Or part of it. So one color for the base and then you apply another color on the sponge and pat it lightly on the tip of the nail. Then re do the last step for a more gradient look. It works perfectoly and you could try it for getting a prettier look :)!
