Checkered

I've been wanting to do checkered nails so I chose to do Nicole by OPI's Make a Comet-ment with OPI's Romeo and Joliet

Start with a coloured coat on the bottom and let it dry completely 

If your hands aren't steady enough then you can use tape to make the pattern

First place one tape length-wise

then another across to make a box

now paint in the box with the colour you want to do the other checker

Now take the tape off carefully while the paint is still wet

another way to tape would be to place 2 squares on opposing corners and painting all over

For the second square I chose to free-hand it

and viola

Have fun

Christmas Tree Nail Art

So I decided to do some simple but pretty christmas trees. 

To start use a gold or nude like base colour

(I used Revlon's Gold Coin)

To make the trees I used tape to make triangles but you could also use a paint brush. 

Make sure to apply the tape when the base is completely dry.

Then paint the triangles green. 

(I used Icing's Electric Emerald)

 Remove the tape when the green is still wet.

Now time to add some lights to your tree. Grab a glitter or sparkly polish and paint it on the tree.

Now time for the star on the tree. If you have a small decal or gem you can use that or you can just use a small paint dot at the top of the triangle.

Now you're done don't forget to finish with a top coat to protect your design.

Have fun :)

Quo by Orly, Bubble Bath. This one was a little nicer than just plain sparkle polish because it had the faintest pink in the base so softens it from just seeing your nail itself. (the purple tint is from the polish I was wearing before :P)
