A manicure perfect for the holiday season!
I'm off school until January and I clearly have a lot of time on my hands, so if there is a nail design you guys want to see then leave a comment and let me know. I'll try to recreate it and make a tutorial!
Hope you all are having a great week!
This is my Skyfall inspired nail design that I came up with after seeing the OPI Man with the Golden Gun top coat. If you guys don't know what that is, or haven't seen it, it's a top coat with 18 karat gold leaf flakes. It retails for $30 and I was not going to spend that much on a top coat with some gold flakes. I decided to create my own rendition of the top coat for you guys, so here it is!
It's my first video tutorial, so tips, pointers, and suggestions would be great!
I got this amazing super reflective glitter and wanted to use it instantly and this is what I did with it!
I won't be making a picture tutorial of it yet because I am super busy with school but here are the steps!
Things you will need:
Base coat (optional)
Base colour of your choice
Glitter of your choice (the more reflective the better)
A piece of paper creased in the middle
A brush (I used a blush brush that I'm not fond of)
Top coat (optional, I did not use one to keep the rough texture)
1. Use a base coat if you wish.
2. Paint one nail any colour you wish. I used a lavender.
3. While the nail is still wet, dip your nail directly into the tub of glitter.
4. Take your finger out of the glitter and with the nail above the glitter facing the tub, tap the underside of your finger with your other hand to remove the excess glitter.
5. This won't get rid of all the glitter so after you got rid of most of it, tap your finger nail on the piece of paper to get rid of more glitter.
6. Continue to do this with the rest of your hand. Before starting on the other hand, take the brush and lightly sweep the nails to get rid of the glitter around your nail, under your nail and on top of your nail.
7. You may use a top coat if you wish
8. There will be a lot of glitter fall out so once your nails are completely dry, sweep them again with the brush and make sure you tap the glitter out of the brush between each nail or the glitter will get everywhere
And that is it! It seems like a lot of steps but it was very easy and took me 2 minutes to do. You don't need to paint your nails perfectly because the glitter will cover most of it.
Check her out, she's has AMAZING tutorials. She has taught me everything I know about painting nails with acrylic paint just from watching her youtube videos. She gives great tips and very detailed tutorials. She uses words like 'blobs' which makes me think I'm doing it right because everything I paint looks like blobs! And VOILA! The blobs look quite decent if I can say so myself.
