Okay, so this isn't technically a craft project..

I couldn't decide how to paint my nails so i decided to paint them 5 different ways !
These designs are all very simple and only require a few nailpolishes.

Instructions


  1. Step 1 1

    I will be showing you how to do
    - Checkerboard Print
    - 2 Funky Frenchs
    - Iris (Flower)
    - Leopard Print

  2. Step 2 2

    I am using (from left to right)
    Piggy Polish "Sublime"
    OPI "Need Sunglasses"
    Essie "Fiesta"
    Essie "Super Duper Top Coat"
    (not pictured) Essie "Protein Basecoat"
    I got all of these polishes from ULTA, a beauty supply store.

    STEP 1 FOR ALL MANICURES :
    Apply a base coat. You can either use your top coat or a special base coat. This will prevent your nail from being stained by the polish.
    LAST STEP FOR ALL MANICURES :
    Apply a clear top coat. This will make your manicure shiny and last longer.

    TIP :
    To mix your nailpolishes, roll it between your palms. Do not shake because it will create air bubbles in your polish.

  3. Step 3 3

    #1 : Checker Board Patter
    - 2 Colors of nailpolish
    - toothpick
    - light colored thin tip sharpie

    Step 1 : Paint 2 layers of your base color and let dry.
