Cute Bows Tutorial

Hey Guys,

Spring is in full swing and this time we will be painting cute white bows. This design is very easy and fast. So let's get started!
This is it:
Supplies needed.
Start off with basecoat
Put on 2 coats of purple polish. The one I'm using is Essie's: "To Buy or Not to Buy"
Mix some white acrylic paint with water if it's too thick. If not, your bow is going to come out very rough-looking.
Using a brush, paint from the center of nails outward. 
Second layer to make it more opaque.
Do the same with the thumb.

Find a very glittery nail polish. Here I'm using Essie Luxe Effects : Shine of the Times.
Paint on a coat on each of your nails that do not have a white bow on.
Do the same with all your other nails.
Now put on Top Coat on your ring finger and thumbs.
We will be using the silver rhinestones.
Pick it up with tweezers...
Put some topcoat on the back of it.
Now put it in the middle of the bow.
and one on the thumb.
and we're finished! Easy, Simple, and Sweet.

Spring Flowers Tutorial

Hey Guys,
Spring is officially here. So to celebrate we will be doing a Spring Flower tutorial. This is actually pretty simple but I advise you to practice before painting the design on your nail. You'll see what I mean later. Also heads up on the quality :( I couldn't take the pictures where I usually take it. So here we go:
This is what it looks like
You need : Pink Polish, brushes, sage green acrylic paint. white and yellow acrylic paint.
Start off with base coat.
Paint on 2 coats of pink polish
Using a thin brush. Paint a grass strand by flicking the brush upward.
Do this a couple more times
Now repeat on your ring finger as well.
Next, you will need a brush like this shape so that we can draw flower petals. Mix some water to the white and yellow acrylic paint if its too thick, but not too much.
Now dip ONE side of the tip into the white paint like so.
Dip the other side into the yellow.
Practice on the paper. Press firmly on the white side and flick upwards to create petals.
Keep practicing if you still have trouble.
Paint on the petals one by one.
and this is what the flower should look like.
Repeat on Pointer finger.
Add another if you want.
Add grass to the other fingers as well if you don't like it plain.
Add top coat and you're done!

Green/Gold Triangle Mani Tutorial

Hey guys
Spring is right around the corner so to this time, we will be using some lighter colors. Time to get away from the cold. My nails are resting so I did this tutorial on my sister. Without any further ado this is what we will be working on:

Green color used is 'To Navigate Her" Have a gold metallic polish at hand and some white acrylic paint.
and don't forget tape!
Start off with base coat.
Paint on 1-2 coats of any light green polish.
Get Tape out and we will be doing the opposite of what people usually do for tape Manis. Cut out a triangle and get rid of it, we will be using the rest of the tape instead.
Like so.
This whole piece of tape is what we will be using.
Place it on your nail when it is COMPLETELY dry. Do not press down very hard.
Paint in the triangle with the gold polish. Try not to get it on the other parts of the tape or it will be hard to rip off later on.
Peel off the tape gently towards you and it should like like this. Now do this to every nail.
After doing all the nails, it should look something like this.
Line the side of the triangle with white paint.
Line both sides. Sorry for blurry pic.
After lining all the nails.
make 2 more lines on the ring finger in the opposite direction.
Put on base coat and you're finished!
