Spring Break Nail Art


Colleges and Universities are starting to go on spring break. Congratulations to being half way done the semester! Today I want to show you a fun and bright nail art tutorial for spring break.

You don’t have to be traveling during break to do these nails. I would even recommend if you’re seriously missing the warmer months. 

 These nails may seem a little hard but there’s no tools needed besides a makeup sponge for the glitter (optional).
Spring Break Nail Art


Steps for dry brush nail art:
  1. Paint a base coat and let dry
  2. Paint one coat of white nail polish
  3. Pick some bright neon polishes, I used 4: pink, purple, orange, and teal
  4. Taking your first color and wipe the excess nail polish off on the side of the bottle.
  5. Take the brush and make random short strokes on the nail
  6. Let dry and repeat with other colors

Steps for glitter nail:
  1. Paint a base coat and let dry
  2. Paint one coat of white nail polish
  3. Paint a thin coat of glitter
  4. Add quick dry top coat
  5. Paint glitter on sponge
  6. Dab glitter on nail (repeat one more time)


👽Don’t forget to finish every manicure with a quick dry top coat👽


Tips:
  • Don’t stress!! This does not have to be perfect and it is all about having fun and showing your creative side.
  • If you’re not sure if you got enough polish off take a piece of paper and do a single stroke.
  • If things don’t look right, then keep adding colors you think will make it better.
  • If things look to mixed together take the white nail polish wipe the excess nail polish of on the side of the bottle and add white strokes were needed.

From Dull to Bold

Have you ever picked a bright nail polish that turned out dull and dark? Well I have a solution for you! It’s very simple and it only adds one step to your nail process.  After adding your base coat apply one coat of white nail polish before your chosen color. My pointer finger has a white coat under my polish and my middle finger does not. On my thumb I have a split view to see the drastic change. Isn’t it crazy?!?!

Mental Health Awareness Nail Art

This week has been pretty tough on me and I am not ashamed to admit that. When people have a cold it’s okay to call out of work or school. But if you are having problems with your mental health many people just think you’re having a bad day and tomorrow you’ll be fine.  These nails are not just to spread awareness to mental illness but to remind me to keep fighting, to never give up, and most importantly help others like me so they don’t feel so alone. Each design means something else, so I’ll tell you how to do the background of the nails and then go into what the design means. 💕 Background: water color inspired  Paint one coat of white base coat. Get a neon pink, teal, lavender, and yellow acrylic paint Using a nail art brush or a small paint brush mix paint with a small amount of water. You want it dilated to give it a water color appearance.  Randomly place the colors onto your nail. It’s okay to let it drip down your nail. ...
