My nails had rested for a week! Its nice to let my nails breathe, but in truth, I didn't have the chance to do my nails as that was the last thing on my mind 2 weeks ago when my mom was at the hospital. So now things are looking up, I have the mood again to do my nails! And to start it off, my July nails started off simple, elegant yet FUNKY (colors used).
One reason I chose this nail color because I will be attending a wedding and I want to match my nail color and dress color! :) No, you don't need to match your dress and nail color! That's to clarify everything! hahaha
Here's my dainty and funky nails!
Step 1:
Do not forget to apply a basecoat before applying colored polishes to prevent your nails from yellowing. Apply 2 coats of San San Nail Polish in Blue.
Step 2:
Using a white 2 way nail art dotting pen. Create dots with tail! You can create flowers going to different directions on each fingernail. Do not forget the needle method to make the flowers more realistic!
Step 3:
Apply rhinestones of your choice. I am using a pink rhinestone as it goes well with my base color.
Step 4:
Apply Caronia glitter silver polish on top of the nail art.
Step 5:
Apply your choice of top coat.
See? Everything looks easier! Do give it a try! Dots do create nice looking flowers and it pays to have nice looking nails! Someone came up to me while I was walking at the mall to tell me she likes my nails :D
Have a nice week ahead!
Keep smilin'
Stay Happy!
