Since Easter is rapidly approaching, and I haven't done a blog about nails in a while, I decided to do an Easter-inspired nail tutorial!
Materials:
-three different kinds of nail polish, I used Essie's Fiji (pink), bikini so teeny (blue), and bond with whomever (purple.
-a pencil, with an eraser in tact
-a flat head pin
-black nail polish
Steps:
1. paint all nails the lightest color you have, for me, that was pink. Do however many coats until the color is solid.
2. Wait until the base coat is dry, then, very carefully take one out of the two other colors you have and make a slightly curved sweep across the nail. Once you have done this, fill the rest of the top of the nail by making vertical brush strokes until the space is filled.
3. Do this to another nail, or all nails if you want
4. take the flat head pin the poke it through the eraser, now you have a makeshift doter tool!
5. to create the ears for the bunny, touch the head of the pin to the nail polish brush. You don't have to wait for the second color to be dry. Make the first dot at the height the ears will go to, and dot your way down, do the same for all other ears.
6. Clean off the doter and lightly touch the head of the pin to the black nail polish brush to make the eyes of your bunny, you don't want too much because then you will have a "bubble" on your nail and it will take a very long time to dry!
7. Make a dot at the top middle of your nail for the nose, then, using the side of the head of the pin, create the long, thin lines for the whiskers, repeat this to make thicker lines.
So a pretty simple tutorial, and all colors I used are pastels, (again staying in touch with the Easter spirit), and all of them I got at Ulta for about eight dollars. An even easier solution to using the pin for the eyes and whiskers is to buy a nail art pen, I have one by the brand of crayola that I found at Target.
Have a happy Easter!
These are darling! How about trying some additional patterns of development? I know the purpose of your blog is "how to," but are there ways to incorporated other organizational methods?
