Rainbow Nails Tutorial Rainbow nails were my choice for day 9 of the 31 day nail art challenge. I wanted to do some cute, simple rainbows arching across my nails. Mostly so I could follow people around saying "Double rainbow all the way across my nails. Oh my god!" If you don't have a brush a nail art pen or a toothpick should work just fine.Wait between doing each line to avoid the colors blending into each other.I don't have dotting tools, so to do the clouds I used a small, round stud earring.

Branching Out Mani: DIY Cherry Blossom Nail Art Tutorial... Fashion As you may have guessed, I was inspired by Monday’s post: Decorating with Branches, and decided to create a little branch nail art manicure, which could also be construed as Cherry Blossoms due to the pink flowers I added. I love that this manicure is in line with all the pale nails we saw on the Spring runways and with a hint of “Far East” inspiration too boot. This, of course, has become one of my favorites {but I’m pretty sure I always say that}. Here’s What I Used… * Base: Sephora “White Hot”* Branches: OPI “You Don’t Know Jacques” | RGB “Steel” | Sally Hansen “Cafe au lait” | Art Deco “Silver” {but any silver will do, this brand just happens to have very thin and long brushes}* Fine Nail Art Brush… I have this set, but this brush set is only $2.74* A bright color for your flowers. Here’s How I Did It… * Begin with two coats of white as your base and let dry. You may choose to stop here or after any color, I wanted the depth and hues to vary. * Finish with your top coat. Voila… Voila!
Newspaper Nails A few weeks ago I shared in this post that I learned how to do this amazing thing called "newspaper nails." Since I love words, and reading, and books, it has inevitably become my favorite manicure. Want to learn the how-to? First, gather your supplies. Step one: Grab some newspaper and cut it into pieces big enough to cover your nails. Step two: Paint your nails white. Step three: Dip a piece of newspaper into the rubbing alcohol and saturate them well. Step four: Press the bit of newspaper on your fingernail hard for about three seconds and peel it off. Step five: Top coat time! Now admire your creation; and try not to chip your nails the first day like I all-too-often do.

How to Apply Liquid Foundation Written by Sam Sam is a 17-year-old, oddly tall guy whose love of all things skincare, makeup, and fashion started when he entered the modeling world at 14. Since then, he’s established himself as a freelance makeup artist in the theatre and fashion worlds, and started his own blog to preach the wonders of orange eyeshadow, Asian skincare, and designer fragrances to the masses. You can also follow Sam on Twitter. Liquid foundation is one of the ficklest products to apply. But after years (literally, it has been that long) of trying different methods, brushes, and foundations, I think I finally have it down to a handful of simple steps that can make all the difference in the world. 1. Grab your favorite liquid foundation. 2. Take a dense, flat top brush (my favorite is the Sigma F80), and dip it into the foundation. 3. Starting at the nose, stipple in small, tight areas, moving to the cheeks and the borders of the face, stippling product inward towards the center. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Faux Diamond Tipped Nails* Glitter French Manicure * Fashion I’ve been dying to try out this new deep teal polish by Sephora by OPI for a few weeks now and am so excited to finally do so. I really love the color! It appears very dark, almost black even, but has a fantastic blue hue which happens to work really well with silver glitter. Here’s what I used: * 2 coats of My Personal Serpent Sephora by OPI and I love that this is an effective, safe, environmentally conscious brand. * Carefully apply a layer of chunky silver glitter to your tips like a French Manicure. * One coat of your favorite top coat {mine is Chanel extreme brilliance} fills in the thick edge and smooths out your nail. …but admittedly, difficult to photograph!
