#NailArtApr: Day 30

Welcome back!

Today's prompt: accent!

I wanted to do two accent nails for this, because the past two manicures I did only had one accent nail, and I was ready for a change.

Marroon/Purple: OPI Sleigh Parking Only
White: OPI Alpine Snow

I started by paint all nails in Sleigh Parking Only, then applying a quick dry top coat. Once the top coat had dried, I used Nail Vinyls and the white to make the accent nails.

#NailArtApr: Day 28

Welcome back!

Today's theme: pop of color!

I decided to do a dottier in black and white, and then add in some red to it as my pop of color! I used all OPI polishes for this manicure.

Black: Black Onyx
White: Alpine Snow
Red: In A Holidaze

This was super simple to do. I just used 3 different sized dotting tools for it. On the black nails, I did the entire thing in white dots, and then went back in with the red where I wanted it, otherwise it probably would not have shown up, or at least not very well. It was pretty sheer at first, and dark, just like the black. I knew that if I started with the white, it would turn out perfect.

#NailArtApr: Day 22

Welcome back!

Today is a late post, but its my nails for Earth Day! In honor of Earth Day, in recycled the white from my last manicure!

White: Zoya Purity

Blue: OPI Sheer Tint I Can Teal You Like Me

Green: Zoya PixieDust Chita

Blue Striper: Salon Perfect Nail Art Striper Blue Skies

Green Striper: Salon Perfect Nail Art Striper Spring

I used the white painted on all nails and added the sheer tint on top of three of them. Then, I drew the continents on using the PixieDust. I really liked using these together to create the Earth look, because I thought it made it more interesting!

For the "accent nail", I used the stripers to draw a tiny Earth!

#NailArtApr: Day 20

Welcome back!

The prompt for the challenge was "little critter." I took that to mean a little animal, so I did a super simple bunny manicure!

White: Zoya Purity

Black: Sally Hansen I Heart Nail Art Pen Black

Pink: Sally Hansen I Heart Nail Art Pen Neon Pink

After I painted my nails white, I just top coated them, and then drew on the bunny face, adding another layer of top coat to that nail once I was done. That's it!

#NailArtApr: Day 17

Welcome back!

The theme for this day is springtime!

Blue: China Glaze Boho Blues

Green: Sally Hansen I Heart Nail Art Striper Green

Pink: China Glaze Pack Lightly

This nail art was really easy! All that you have to do is start by painting your nails blue. When that dried, I took the green Striper and brushed lightly on the tips of my nails to make it look like grass. Then I just extended a couple of lines on each nail up for the flower stems. To add the flower, I used a small dotting tool with the pink, adding five dots for the petals.

Today's prompt: blue skies!

Blue: China Glaze Dashboard Dreamer

Thanks for reading! <3

#NailArtApr: Day 11

Welcome back!

Today's prompt: dotticure!

For this manicure, I used all Wet n Wild Megalast polishes, all from the new Silver Lake collection!

Tan: A Latte Love

Blue: Wear Skinny Jeans

Green: Tree Hugger

All I used for this manicure is a dotting tool! It's so easy to do dotticures, so I really love them! You don't have to have worked on nails for very long to do a successful and beautiful dotticure! That's the best part about them!

#NailArtApr: Day 08

Welcome back!

I'm sort of late in doing this, considering there is a new prompt for tomorrow, but I got busy this week and I unfortunately did not have much time for nail art.

The prompt for this day was "Fav flower" which is difficult for me! I would probably have to say rose, but I can't do those on the nail very well, AND I'm not sure I have a favorite flower! So, I did my favorite flower...to paint on my nails.

These were done using all Salon Perfect polishes, because I wanted to use some of my new pastel colors from them!

White: Sugar Cube
Pink: Put A Ring On It
Purple: Lilacking Control
Blue: Cold As Ice
Green: Mint Julep
Yellow: Mellow Yellow
Peach: Georgia Peach

This manicure was super easy to do! I just used dotting tools to create all of the flowers on top of a white base! Simple!

Thanks for reading <3

#NailArtApr: Day 05

Welcome back!

Today's theme is Easter, since it is Easter after all!

In honor of the holiday and its true meaning, I did some crosses over a sunset.

White: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri OMGhost

Yellow: Color Club Almost Famous

Orange: Studio M Orange Hot

Red: OPI Coca-Cola Red

Black: Salon Perfect Nail Art Striper Black Ink

I decided to write a tutorial for what I did to create there's nails!

1. Paint a base of one coat of white polish. Once dry, top with a quick drying top coat.

2. Tape off the skin around all of the nail. On a latex free makeup sponge, paint half of the area that will cover the nail in yellow. Next paint most of the rest orange, and then just a thin red line at the bottom.

3. Once the top coat is dry, sponge the color onto the nail, dabbing up and down the nail to blend it in. Repeat this one or two more times in order to make it more opaque.

4. With the black striper, paint a small half circle at the bottom of each nail, and then extend a straight vertical line up, and then a short horizontal line through the vertical line to make the cross. I thickened these up to make it look more like the cross. I only drew crosses on three of the nails.

#NailArtApr: Day 02

Welcome back!

Today was the first day of Nail Art April hosed by @californails on Instagram! The prompt for this was Pastel.

Purple: Wet n Wild Megalast Reject the Mainstream

Tan: Wet n Wild Megalast A Latte Love

Both of these polishes are from the new Wet n Wild Megalast Silver Lake collection. I used nail vinyls to make the chevrons, and a dotting tool to make the dotted nail! These were super easy, but I loved them!
