Colorful Mosaic Nail Art

2013-12-17T22:45:00.001-05:00

For this tutorial feel free to use any colors you want! they don't have to match just go with what you like.

Step 1:

Paint a corner of your nails any color (I chose purple) don't worry too much about having straight lines because the outline will hide those minor details.

Step 2:

For this step I used a light green color, paint a vertical line on the other side of your nail. Is okay to go over the purple a little bit.

Step 3:

Now choose another color and make a small triangle in between the purple and the green. Once again don't worry too much about the lines being straight and is okay to go over the other colors a little bit.

Step 4:

Fill in the space that is left with another color.

Step 5:

Now here come the more difficult part. Using a very thin brush**, draw the lines surrounding all the shapes. You can use white or black. Make sure you have a steady hand or ask someone for help!

**If you do not have a thin brush just buy a paint brush from the dollar store and cut the little hairs to make a thin brush**

As requested by TC!

I had so much fun making this nails but I am a little upset that the quality of the pictures didn't turn out as good as I wanted (I used my camera phone)

Step 1: Paint your nails of any dark color to make the background. I chose black because I like the way it goes so good with white and pink ( Hello kitty colors!)

Step 2: Now we are going to make a very thick white line at the edge pf the nail, kinda like a french tip but way thicker. This is going to be the face.

Step 3: Now is time to make the bow! this might be one of the trickiest part, but it is very easy to make all you have to do is make 2 small triangles and then a circle in the middle. Use a toothpick to dab the pain inside of the shapes

Step 4: Hello Kitty's face time! Okay for this part you might need a thin brush or a toothpick. Make 2 oval shapes in black for the eyes, one yellow circle for the nose, and 2 or 3 lines on each side of the kitty's face for whiskers.

Very cute strawberry nails!!

1. Paint all your nails a bright red color

2. Using a thin brush and green nail polish, draw the outline of the leafs. Sometimes it's helpful to draw the grass with a pen or pencil on your nail and just fallow that outline with the nail polish.

3. Fill in the spaces by painting them green. Becareful to not go outside of the outline so it doesn't look messy.

4. Using a dotting tool or a tooth pick, dip it in a little of black nail polish and make little lines around the red area of the nail. Don't put them in straight line, random lines gives it a more realistic look.

As requested by my sister Juliana :)

Super fun and colorful paint splatter!

* In the tutorial pictures is hard to see the bright pink polish I used but my nails look like the top pic

Step 1: Paint all your nails black

Step 2: Find a straw and dip in in desired splatter color. I chose to do white first.

Step 3: Once the straw's tip is covered in nail polish, aim at your nail and give it a blow once, all the nail polish on the other side of the straw will splatter all over the place so be careful and use a paper under your nail to prevent a mess.

Step 4: Repeat in all nails

Step 5: Time to change the color, you can either dip the straw in nail polish or simply put nail polish from the brush into the straw.

Step 6: Add a third color if you would like :) I did gold as the last one

Back to School Pencil Nails

2012-08-16T01:05:00.000-04:00

Requested by Emily: Back to School Nails

Make sure you read the whole tutorial before doing it, there are some tricky steps.

Step 1:

Paint all your nails white

Step 2:

Place nails on top of a hard surface so that all the nails are at the same height ( this is important to paint the pencil so that it aligns at the end)

Step 3:

Paint two horizontal lines using yellow nail polish. Repeat the same lines in the 3 middle fingers only ( do not pain the thumb or the pinky)

Step 4:

Paint the inside of the lines yellow.

Step 5:

For the pinky nail, all you have to do it pain the same horizontal yellow line but make sure that iit only goes half way trough the nail.

Step 6: Important step.

For the thumb nail paint the same yellow line halfway trough the nail BUT do not paint it horizontally! do it vertically so that the pencil can be formed afterwards (look at the finish pictures). When doing designs like this one, this is the step where most people make mistakes. Look at the pictures:

Step 7:

Is time to make the top part of the pencil in the thumb nail.

Using silver nail polish pain a line on top of the yellow line, make sure it is not too thick (have a pencil next to you for reference)

To make the eraser use a light pink polish. just paint it on top of the silver line and make the top round.

Step 8:

The pinky nail where the tip of the pencil goes is probably the trickiest step.

For this make sure to use a thin brush and light brown nail polish. Draw a triangle next to the yellow line. then make little lines (5) going down the triangle into the yellow line. ( you can skip the little lines going on the yellow if you would like, just leave it a triangle)

After you have done that and is dry. Using black nail polish and a thin brush make the tip of the triangle black and outline the pencil's shape. Try your best to outline the little triangles that separate the light brown and yellow lines ( if you decided to skip the little lines, you can simply draw a vertical line and omit the details. It will still look good and is less work)

Step 9:

Outline the rest of the pencil with black polish and a thin brush.

I hope you guys like it I worked really hard on it! Thanks for your request.

Mustache Nails

2012-08-13T17:11:00.000-04:00

As Requested: How To Do Mustache Nails

This is one of those tutorials where is easier to just look at the pictures, I will still write some tips though.

Step 1: Once you have painted your nails, using a dotting tool make a series of dots making the shape of the mustache.

Fallow the red dots on the first picture:

Step 2: After you have a total of 9 dots, start putting more dots to make the shape. Is kind of like drawing a curvy line using dots.

Step 3: after you have the outline done, using a thin brush start to fill in the spaces and make a more defined outline.

It seems complicated but you'll get the hang of it :)

Lightning Nails

2012-08-10T20:35:00.000-04:00

Request by rabid-angry-llama: Lightning Nails!

This is actually one of my favorites so far, it is very simple to do. If your hand shakes when painting your nails then this is the nails for you!

Step one:

Paint your nails black

Step two:

For this tutorial I used a shimmery metallic blue and a napkin. You can use a dark blue or a silver to create the same effect.

Place a drop of the metallic blue color on a piece of paper and tap in with a little piece of napkin.

Step Three:

Tap the piece of napkin on your nails, do it all around the nail but make sure you can still see the black underneath it. The napkin is used to give it texture without covering up the black.

It should look like this, like a blue and black night sky.

Step four:

Now is time to draw the lightning. Using a thin brush, draw shaky lines down your fingernail and then from that original line make smaller lines coming out of it.

Step five:

Repeat the same step on all your nails, make sure that each nail looks a little different.

Step six:

For a final touch add a little silver glitter to the lighting but not too much, this will make them sparkle a little.

Thank you for your request, I had a lot of fun doing it :)

Monkey Nails

2012-08-02T01:37:00.001-04:00

Request by Stephany : Monkey Nails!

This nail tutorial is a little difficult but with patience it can be done. I put little squares in some of the pictures with a drawing of the layers of nail polish, I thought that might be helpful.

Step 1:

Start by painting your nails of the desired background color, I used light purple for this tutorial.

Step 2:

Using a dark brown nail polish pain a semi circle in the nail where you want the monkey to be.

Step 3:

Using a lighter shade of brown make the inside face of the monkey. Make sure you use a thin brush.

Step 4:

Make the nose as a curved line, make the mouth as a simple smiley face, using a dotting tool make two white dots for the eyes, and then two smaller black dots inside the white ones.

Step 5:

Use the darker brown to make the ears, is very simple just make a circle on each side of the monkey's face.

Step 6:

Using the lighter brown make a C shaped line inside of the ears made in the previous step.

Step 7:

To make the hair of the monkey just make strokes of brown at the top of the head of the monkey.

The End!

Make sure to be very patient, Thank you for your request :)

Gradient Nails With Dots!

2012-07-12T19:06:00.001-04:00

Let me start by saying that this has to be the easiest and cutest design yet, it might look intimidating but is really not. I love this nails!

Step 1:

Paint all your nails of the desired background color, for this tutorial I did a very light purple and in my opinion looks a lot better than the usual black and white.

Step 2:

find a piece of paper that you don't use and put some drops of black nail polish on it, this will be useful to make the dots. Using a tooth pick, dip it in the drops of the black polish and start making dots on the top of your nails

Since this is a gradient design make sure to make many many dots on the top of the nails, to the point where you cant see the background color. (example below)

Step 3:

After you do the top part, keep making the dots all the way down your nail remembering to do less and less dots as you make your way down to the base of the nail.

Repeat these steps with the rest of the nails and done :)

Easy huh?

Try different colors or even different colors for all the nails. Maybe use your team's colors? or match it to your outfit :)

Plaid Nails

2012-07-08T18:52:00.001-04:00

Step 1.

Paint your nails bright pink.

Step 2.

Using a thin brush paint 2 black vertical lines in each nail. Since plaid is not perfect lines, make some lines thicker than the other ones and don't worry too much if they are not perfect.

Step 3.

Now paint black horizontal lines on your nails. Just like the vertical lines they don't have to be perfect, in some nails you can do 2 lines and in some you can do 1 depending on how long your nails are.

Step 4.

Now using a white nail polish, paint horizontal lines in between the vertical lines.

Step 5.

Paint white horizontal lines in between the black lines. Some nails may have more white lines than others. Remember all nails can be a little different.

Don't try to do all the lines perfect, with this design just have fun and use any colors you want :)
