Spring Color Pop nailart

It is finaly spring here, and you get to see many flowers of different color everywhere!
Why not on your nails??

All the flowers and scrolls are made with acrylic paint. The point was to have many colors, but also a black pattern to "keep" them together, complimenting the mint blue polish by Color Club.

Different light and the colors show a bit different too..  Here are the material I used:

Fruity french manicure

Another red manicure, this time it is a french one, and the polish used is again by Indigo.

Of course there is some glitter involved, there is always some glitter involved..:)

Wherever you see red, it is with the same polish, "Red Delicious" by Indigo. All the rest is acrylic paint. The outlines were made with a water color pencil.

The bridesmaid nailart

2-3 years ago, I would avoid wearing pink polish on my nails, now I have so many of them.. what a change :)

This nailart started as a request from Stella, who will do her own nails for her sister's wedding. She asked for easy flowers and pink color, as the bridesmaid's dress will have pink details.

So I made a faded background with pink polishes, added some fairydust glitter and painted flowers with acrylic paints. This is very easy, you can find the tutorial here!

"Mavala blue"

I loved this french manicure. It was created with Mavala polish and glitter. The flowers are hand painted:)
Tutorial on youtube here!

Rainbow leopard print

I needed some color, so I decided to give in to colorful, bright, summery animal print.

I used white polish as my base color, silver, glitter and 5 different polishes for each nail.
Especially on the thumb, I used a color changing polish by Ruby Wings, the "Wild Flower".

The tutorial was uploaded on youtube today : http://youtu.be/8vGmD31q0c8
Here are some pictures with different light, I hope you see the sparkles:)

  

Easter nails

Not much to say here, I did those for fun! Since there are already too many bright and colorful egg decorations transfered on nails, I did a french manicure. Everything is polish, except the outlines, I used acrylic paint for those:)

Toe nail design + short nails version "Pink with easy white flowers"

I am starting a new series of toe nailart, showing the matching short nails' version as well. The videos will be uploaded on my youtube channel under a separate playlist.

I am using my practice foot for this, thanks to some really weird comments I have received from really weird people, on the videos where I showed my own feet. Not that my feet are something special, of course, and anyway, I delete these comments as soon as I see them, out of respect for my viewers.

I am using a fake hand, too, because I had a few requests for short nails' designs, and since mine are never considered too short, it felt logical to combine these too. Showing how I did the toe design, and suggesting the matching one for short fingernails.

This one is a very easy design. I only used polishes, a dotting tool and a toothpick:)

  

  

French manicure with 3d gel decoration

I received this 3d gel and some Jo Sonja acrylic paint on my birthday, March 8th, but didn't try it at all until this nailart. I don't mind using acrylic at all, but sometimes you just want to try something new..

What I liked most, was the fact that you can sculpt, without time pressure, it will not harden or dry before it cures under uv light. You don't care about the right concistency of the bead, because it is ready for you:) You get to use gel cleanser on the brush, just a bit, so that it doesn't get sticky. For some people, this is an advantage, because they don't like the smell of monomer.

What I didn't like, was that I couldn't take the ammount with my brush. A friend suggested "cutting" it with the spatula, and then taking it with the brush. And I don't expect it to soak off with acetone, I will file it down (easy, it is super thin) and expect the rest to go with the polish underneath.

Oh, and it is super bright in real..!

Items used for this nailart:

One stroke spring flowers

The original design is 2 different onestroke flowers over purple polish. I made abstract 3-petal flowers in pink and blue, with dotted centers  Then I decided to try something different and play a little with my matt top coat. I am a big fan of super glossy finishings, but I have to admitt that the matt version was more interesting, the flowers popped out more and the total look was bright. Next time I will try to add matt only on the flowers..

Super easy toe nailart

I believe that everything, even a simple strass or a rhinestone, or a few dots and lines alone, can make a nailart design. They really make a difference, before them it is just polished nails, with them it is nailart. But we don't take the little time required to make nailart on our toes, especially in winter, when our feet are mostly hidden. Even when we do have all the good will, some of us have back/neck problems which make toenails difficult to reach.

But, you don't really have to spend much time and effort, if it is hard for you. I make all my winter designs as easy as possible, using stickers, stamps, strass and dots. And now that spring is here (officialy, but not really..) I will be posting some ideas for toe nailart designs, from super easy to more intriguing..

Here is the first one, using wavy lines in white, orange, silver, and pink glitter over a fuchsia polish. Simple enoug, don't you think?
