Nail Art Tutorial: "A Splash of Color" Nails

Happy Wednesday people!  I am not in an energetic mood today, nothing serious, just that the weather down here is so darn hot!  Better slather that sunscreen of yours, yeah? 

Another nail art tutorial for the week!  I got inspired with the bright yellow polish given to me by a dear friend Shanna, I believe she bought this for me from her Malaysia trip?  Thanks girl!

Playful colors are definitely "in".  My nail art tutorial looks a bit like a "splash" of colors!  Imagine painting class....imagine being a kid again....

Here's my nail art for the week! 

I hope this brings you joy!

Step 1:

Apply a coat of your preferred base coat to protect your nails from nail polish.  Apply 2 coats of Elianto polish in yellow.  Let dry.

Step 2:

Apply 3 random lines starting from the center.  The line from the center is longer than the lines between it.  Make sure your nail polish brush does not have flyaway!  I am using BNC polish in Aquamarine.

Step 3:

Using a nail art dotting tool or a toothpick, apply 3 dots on the "yellow" polish area just like photo below.

Step 4:

Apply yellow dots on the Aquamarine polish area randomly as well.  Reference can be seen on photo below.

Step 5:

I want to add more colors so I've placed 3 white dots on area with a huge space or gap.   You can skip this step!

Step 6:

Making sure all the dots are dry, apply your favorite top coat.  I am using my 3rd bottle of The Face Shop.

Enjoy your nails with splash of summer colors!

This tutorial can be altered base on your personal taste.  If you find the colors used above are a bit too bright for your taste, you can always tone down your nail polish color by choosing your own color combination with the same application technique!  Be adventurous!  A lot of my readers have shared their thoughts on nail polish application.  I know it is very difficult to apply polish let alone do nail art using the left hand!  Trust me, I've been there!  I went through zigzag-y French Tips!  I went through dirty finger nails because of bad polish application; I went through gazillions of ingrown and sported lots of ugly nail art design!  We have to go through all those to be able to confidently start with simple nail art!  You can do it!  Yes you can!  Repeat after me.... 

"I (state your name) CAN DO IT!"

I should just be named "Nike" instead of "Nikki"
Cause I love to "JUST DO IT"!
So corny!  But hey, I'm on a preachy mode again but it doesn't hurt to try to inspire others right?

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!
