31dc Day 13: ANIMAL PRINT

Day 13: Animal Print Nails:). For this nail we wanted to do paw prints but i smudged it with an over sized brush so we only did one. Next time ill use a toothbick or a smaller brush. To do this nail paint a base coat then add your paw prints in a colour of your choice. HINT: don't use a big brush.

31da Day 12: STRIPES

Day 12: Stripe Nails:). This nail design is inspired by the beautiful tropical Australian sunset. This design takes really long waiting for each stripe to dry. To do this nail design paint each stripe then paint black lines between each stripe then add the palm trees.

31dc Day 11: POLKA DOT

Day 11: Polka Dot Nails:). I really like this design because of how i did it using a lollypop stick. It was a really cool technique and it was fun and yummy ;). For this nail design paint a cream coat, then using the back of a lolly pop sick, dip it in nail polish and so some dots the smaller the lolly pop stick the more spots you can get on it.

31dc Day 10: GRADIENT

Day 10: Gradient Nails:). I have decided i am terrible at doing gradient nails. I think the reason they turned out bad is because we kinda gave up. I read somewhere that you have to use the sponge more than once but we gave up after the first try and then we made the dripping effect with a darker blue. To do this really simple nail design put a blob of light blue and a blob of dark blue on the nail then drag the dark blue through the light blue. To actually do the real gradient nails put desired colours on sponge then keep sponging until desired colour is reached.

31dc Day 9: RAINBOW

Day 9: Rainbow Nails:). Peace, love, happiness and dont forget the rainbows! This nail has tried to combine the peace and serenity that comes with a rainbow. This one has been one of the best so far. To do this nail start with the stripes using the thin part of the brush, then add the peace sign i did it with a nail art pen.

31dc Day 8: METALLIC

Day 8: Metallic Nails:). I don't have any metallic nail polish so I improvised with gold glitter! My nail art pen brush got distorted so the end bits closest to the finger are scratchy but it all worked out in the end. This design is done by a black base coat and adding gold glitter in a pattern of your choice.

31dc Day 7: BLACK AND WHITE

Day 7: Black and White Nails:). I think we were going to do a checkered racing flag but decided against it when we found the all awesome SKULL nails. These would be great for Halloween if you went as a pirate or a skeleton. We used a black base coat with black and white nail pens for the face and decorations.
