Nail Art Tutorial: "Stripey" Nails

Hey sweet readers!  I am still on my Korean Trip hangover stage and I still have a lot of stories to share!  As promised, I will try to squeeze in something aside from the Korea Trip so you won't feel like this is a Korean Travel Blog!  *hahaha*  Before I went on my trip, I only have a couple of minutes to do my nail art!  I wanted something really quick and easy and I think this is one easy nail art anyone can try!  


Oh, before I start the tutorial, I had my nails done in a salon as I don't want to take too much time doing my own manicure and pedicure, I've had it cleaned and applied with 2 coats of polish!  I can't seem to remember the shade!  Sorry!

Step 1:
Apply a base coat prior to polish application.  Apply 2 coats of your preferred base color.


Step 2:
Using L.A. Art Deco in white or any white polish using a thin brush from bookstore, create a horizontal line anywhere you like!  The lines do not have to be perfect and don't worry about lines drawn on finger.  You can clean them up later on.


Step 3:
Next, I pull out the rest of the L.A. Art Deco colors I have and use the red color to apply random lines. 


Glittery Silver



Sky Blue



Black


Step 4:
While waiting for the lines to dry up, wet your q-tip with a nail polish remover and remove excess polish on the sides of your nails.

Step 5:
Making sure the lines are completely dry, apply your preferred top coat to protect your nails.  I used Elianto Top Coat.


Quick and easy nail art of the week minus too much complications!  Anyone can do it and again, lines do not have to be perfect!


I had this nail art on while I was traveling in Korea and its funny how 2 sellers like it and gave me discounts on my purchase! :)  Aren't they sweet?

Have a great weekend everyone!
Keep smilin'

Stay happy!

  7. honga sayang, i'd love to meet you for other events, i was one of the many (or few~depends on who you talk to) that enjoyed the Etude House launch. wala lang masyadong booze LOL pero over all ok naman yung event.

    hopefully the face shop cooks up something for us since they will change bae yong joon posters to kim hyun joong (jihoo of BOF). i've spoken to one of their marketing, wish me luck on further dealings with TFS naman.

    glad you're back home safe ^_^
