I will be showing you how to do - Checkerboard Print - 2 Funky Frenchs - Iris (Flower) - Leopard Print
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.
#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.
Step 2: Draw a checker pattern with your thin tip light colored sharpie. You will not see this step in the finished product.
Step 3: Dump out some nailpolish on a piece of scratch paper then use your toothpick to fill in the checkerboard pattern.
#2 Funky French Tip Design 1 - 3 Colors of Nail Polish
Step 1: Apply a diagonal stripe of your 1st color.
Step 2: Using your 2 other colors, apply dots over your first color (while the first color is still wet).
Step 3: To get the dots to spread out a bit, shake your hand.
#3 Iris (flower) - 3 colors of polish - rhinestone - toothpick Step 1 : Apply a THICK coat of your base color.
Step 2 : While your first coat is still wet, put a dot in the middle. Then put another dot in the middle of your first dot.
Step 3: IMMEDIATELY, use your toothpick and pull the dot OUT on 4 corners.
Step 4: Then, pull your toothpick IN on the four corners that you haven't touched. Eww so messy :P
Step 5: Plop a rhinestone in the middle of your Iris.
#4 Funky French 2 Candy Stripes - 2 or 3 colors of nail polish - toothpick Step 1: Along the top of your nail, draw stripes of each color.
Keep adding stripes until you get to the end!
Using your toothpick, add a thin stripe under the "Candy Stripes"
#5 Leopard Print - 3 colors of nail polish - toothpick
Step 1: Paint 2 layers of your base color and let dry Step 2: Put random dots of your second color.
Step 3: Pour some nailpolish on a scratch paper and use the toothpick to partially outline the dots.
Yay! Sorry for this super long tutorial Don't forget to put on top coat!!
