Palm Tree Tutorial

Hey everybody! Today I have an awesome and easy way to dress up those summer beach manis..... Palm Trees! This tutorial is easy and really just takes 4 steps to making the perfect palm tree mani.




Step 1  Super easy, start off with any summer color. I just happen to have a summer ombre on when I wanted to do these. In my ombre I used China Glaze Pool Party, Flip Flop Fantasy, and Sun Worshiper.














Step 2 is a couple of simple lines going from right to left. This gives you a base to start your palm tree and gives you the illusion of water.



















Step 3 is the trunk of the palm tree. If you look at pictures of palm trees near the water the trunks are always curved, and doing this in the mani makes it look better than a straight line going up and down.














Step 4 is placing the palm leaves. This may take a little practice, just keep in mind that you need to do a slight curve in the leaves. I start from the trunk and pull my brush out.

















That was super easy! Here is a shot of the final mani ♥



I love this look so much! This really looks great as a pedi♥  Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this mani:)

Happy Polishing Everybody!

Love,

NEON water marble!

Hi all! Today I have for you a NEON water marble! I don't think everyone could possibly know how happy I was to find that I could wm with these colors! I absolutely love neon's in the summer and wanted to do a wm many times with them. You see or may know that neon's dry fast and don't wm well v_v sad face! I tried this combo of China Glaze's Orange Knockout and Celtic Sun (with a base of white). Now seeing the pictures my camera decided to wig out >.< but I think I'll use a base of White with Celtic Sun on top then wm next time I try this so there aren't as many patches with the color (from polish being to thin in areas or just me messing it up with the line up of my tape). 


I really loved this and might just give my neon's a try again for water marbling.
I hope you liked it and will give it a try!

Butterfly Nail Art Tutorial

Hey everybody! Today I have a butterfly nail art tutorial for y'all :) This is a great way to extend the life of a favorite mani or just add a little zing to a mani.


Step 1: Have a great mani on! I have on a
halo ombre. I used Color Club Blue Heaven and Over the moon, I also used Glitter Gal Marine Blue.




















Step 2: Start painting your lines. The first line
goes from the middle bottom around to the center middle. Like a quarter circle.





















Step 3: Add your other lines. I added my middle
first, straight through the quarter circle I just made and almost all the way to the end of my nail. And the I added the other lines.




















Step 4: Next you want to curve the top of the
 lines. This should give you 4 sections on the top.






















Step 5: This step is easy now all you have to do
 is fill in the top of the nail black. Add as you can see I added a line at the bottom (you don't have to but I like it like this).




















Step 6: Add your white dots :) This gives you a
 monarch butterfly effect!






















Add a top coat and you are done! Here is a picture of the finished look:)



Oh my! This is super cute and easy! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this Butterfly Nail Art!

Happy Polishing Everybody!
Love,

Neon Rainbow

Hi all today I tried something new...not sponging just using the nail polish brush I painted a rainbow...then covered it with a stamp from my XL-A LeaLacC stamping plate with konad white special polish. 



I really liked this and the dots calmed the rainbow down a bit but it still was NEON.

Let me know what you think. How do you wear your neon's?

Straw Dots

Hey everybody! Today I have a really easy mani... Straw Dots! Yes straw dots, let me explain .... one day sitting at the computer with a drink in my hand ( I won't say if it was an adult drink, but just might have been) and looking at the straw and it hit me. Why not use the straw to make big circles (straw dots) and that is how this mani was born.
First thing is paint your nails, I used Color Club Endless Summer and Ruby Wing Electric Firefly. Then I cut my straw (cause you are only using one end and you don't need that much). With the opposite color than the nail take the straw and make Straw Dots :) Here are my pictures :)




Super bright for summer and super easy:) I love these colors together and with just a straw I made a exciting new mani! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this look :)

Happy Polishing Everyone!
