Nail Art

I know, I know. I am not a beauty blog, but it's still a hobby and I can do what I want. It's my blog.


     For awhile I have been subscribed to a YouTube channel called Cutepolish. I really like her designs, and I recreated one she did along time ago.


      The polish I used for all the nails was an Essie color called, Muchi, Muchi. I really love this color, since it's such a soft pink. 


Polishes in order from left to right:Nail cleanser, base coat, light pink, dark pink, white, top coat.

     These are all the polishes I used for the nail design. 


     I applied some nail cleanser before my base coat, but this is optional. It just helps get rid of residue on your nails.

 
     Next, apply base coat of choice.


     After your base coat is fully dry, apply light pink polish. On ring finger, the one with the design, apply two coats of polish. If necessary, apply three coats of polish on the rest of the nails. My nail polish was a little sheer.
  You want to wait 2 or 3 minutes in between each coat to ensure no smudging. Now for the flowers. We only needed two coats for the flower finger, because the design would cover it.


      You want a bright, dark pink (if that makes any sense) for the flowers. The flowers are from this video. All I did was make one big flower on one part of the nail, and half a flower on the tip of the nail. To fill the empty spaces, I added some dots.


     I used these dotting tools for the design. You can find them here.


     For the center of the flowers I used white. Make sure the flowers a dry before applying the white.


     Wait about 10-30 minutes before putting on some top coat. This will ensure no smudging. If it still smudges then you need to invest in a better top coat.

 
     That's it. You can also add some flowers on your thumb too, but I didn't. You can also use any color you like, as long as you use the same color in different shades. Like light blue and dark blue. 
     I love this design, it's so easy to accomplish. I hope you enjoyed the tutorial!
