A-Bridged Nails Tutorial

Hey Guys,
We are BACK with a new tutorial. This was inspired by mrcandiipants on tumblr. Okay so this design should fit in with the 'cold city' type theme. Perfect for winter if you want to get away from snowflakes and the common designs.Also, I decided to go with a pink background instead of white to change things up a bit. So without further ado, here it is:
This is what we will be working on today.
Okay pay attention to how the picture is going to be drawn :right side up from the TIP of your nail. You can check to see that you're not making a mistake by making sure the picture is NOT facing you. The bridge should look like this to someone you are showing this to.
Supplies to have ready: Black acrylic paint, nude nail polish, top/base coat and a thin paintbrush.
Put on basecoat
Put on 2 Coats of the beige nude color.
Get some black paint ready and a paint brush.
Draw one straight black line down the side of your thumb.
And another line
Then draw 3 lines down the middle. Make is slightly curvy like the cords on the bridge. It should not look as straight as a ruler.
Then draw 2 curvy line through the whole nail. One from each tip of the line. Paint on the lower one first to make it easier for yourself. 
Now finally draw then wispy lines down the middle. It shud be slightly uneven.
(I smudged due to an earlier mistake.) Its not shown now but later you'll see it : PAINT ON A BLACK LINE HORIZONALLY at the tip of the nail. Like the surface of the bridge.
Srry, at my pointer finger I was so concentrated that I forgot to take pictures of the steps. Lucky for you guys, this is the easiest one. Like shown above, Just draw 2 lines and paint on mini vertical lines between them. Don't forget to ad the last horizontal line across the tip. 
Now onto the ring finger, draw 2 lines down, the second one should be slightly longer.
Now like before, 3 lines down the middle.
Draw a 1 curvy line connecting nail to nail
And another one higher this time.
Vertical Wispy lines going downward
Horizontal line on the bottom.
Onto the ring finger! Curvy horizontal line across the line
This time draw a slight V-shaped curve.
You guessed it! more vertical lines. It should be a drawn little uneven.
Draw two lines down the pinkie with one longer than the other.
Draw 3 lines across then 2 curvy lines from each tip to the other side of the nails.
Then lastly draw vertical lines down the pinky.
Add top coat to make it really clear and glossy.
Finished!!! 
Don't forget to comment and keep on following.

Flemish Painting Nails Tutorial

Hey Guys!
It is Saturday! just like I promised, we have a new tutorial up :) This one is inspired by Robin Moses and hopefully, you all enjoy ^^ for a heads up, this is gonna be pretty long

Here are the supplies you need, Paint, Black nail polish, and brushes
(srry for dark lighting, did this late at night)
Start off with base coat. ( wondering why I have the black tips? I did my right hand first so I used this hand to clean off mistakes XD)
Put on two coats of Black Nail polish. We can fix any mistakes at the end.
Okay, We need to get a sage green color. I mixed white, green, and black paint to get this color.
paint on the background of stems with a brush. It does not have to be perfect since most of it will be covered later.
Continue painting stems on each of the nails.
Here's a close up. 
Now we need a dark red color. I mixed Red, Black, and white. (try to not add too much black)
Paint on a red flower like so.
 and add another flower. ( u can add however many you like on any of the nails, be creative!)
Highlight the flowers with a little bit white.
Continue this process on the  next nail and so on.
add highlight
Finish the rest of the nails.
 Next is light grayish-blue. Mix white, blue,and, gray paint.
Paint on small dots as flowers around the red flowers in clumps. Think of babybreath flowers when putting on the blue. If you don't know what flower that is, search it up.
Apply the blue to every nail in different areas.
Now we need a golden yellow. Mix yellow, gold, and a dab of white.
Add the yellow around the blue in little flecks as highlight. Like little golden flowers in a field.
Close up of the current nail
Add yellow to every nail. like so.
Add topcoat to protect your design and give it extra shine; and you're finished!

Laziness/Delay

Hey Guys,
Sorry for lack of posts recently. I was feeling lazy this whole week especially since it was Christmas break. I'll probably start posting next week Saturday? hopefully? Another reason is cuz my nails are weak lately and they need to rest from the nail polish. Actually, Ive been having this problem for awhile, if anyone knows what I could use, please let me kno. I hate it when my nails constantly chip >;(  I've used hardeners, strengtheners etc but nothing works.....  anyyywayyy check back around next Saturday for a new post so until then, here's a picture to keep you guys happy (i hope ;)
hehe most of you will be scratching your head in confusion if you don't follow kpop. This is actually a idol group "Super Junior" Oh and I found this picture on tumblr; it doesn't belong to me.

Well, Keep following for more updates! Comment below if you have suggestions on how I can keep my nails strong! Happy New Years! 

P.S- Just realized that I really should get started with my homework O.O
