Plaid French Manicure Tutorial~!

Hey Guys~!

I've grown my nails out, and now that they're longer I decided to do a french manicure tutorial. But this isn't like any french manicure you have ever seen. The design is a plaid french tip. Also I'll be adding a cute rose decal, but anything looks good with this. It is a bit harder than my other tutorials, but with practice it's quite easy. So let's start~~!

For This Tutorial You Will Need . . .

Base Coat

Nude Nail Polish

Two Nail Polishes of Your Choice

White Nail Polish

Glitter Nail Polish

Clear Top Coat

Nail Art Brush

First apply base coat, to protect your nails from staining and to strengthen them. Once that's dry, apply a nude polish to your nails. Depending on how opaque you want it, apply 1 - 3 coats, I used two. Wait for that to dry before continuing. 

Next with a glitter polish, create a slight gradient on the bottom of the nail. I'm using a opalescent glitter, but use whatever suits the other colors you chose. 

With one of your two polishes, I used a teal, and your nail art brush, make a line across each nail at the tip. Then make a teal line towards the tip on the right or left side of the nail. I switched between right and left on each nail.

Once that's dry take your other color, I used pink, and I cleaned my nail art brush, to make a line next to your vertical teal line. Then make a line on the opposite side. Wait for that to dry.

This is optional, but I added a rose decal on my ring finger and thumb nails. I waited for my nail to dry and then placed the sticker on with tweezers. To seal it, I applied clear top coat on the nails with the sticker.

Lastly I applied clear top coat to all of my nails to seal in the design and add a pretty shine~!

Gold and Turquoise Summer Makeup Tutorial {All Drugstore Products}~!

Hey Guys~!

Recently I've been trying to incorporate colors into my eye makeup, and I've come up with a few looks that I have enjoyed wearing. Today I'll be showing you how I create this gold and turquoise eye makeup. It is perfect for any summer party you may be attending and it's super easy to do. So let's start~~!

 I already have my face makeup on, so let's go straight to the eyes. First I fill in my brows with a Maybelline Brow Precise Pencil in Soft Brown. I fill in the sparse areas and then comb out my brows so the pencil blends and looks more natural.  To prime my eyes, I'm applying the Elf Eyeshadow Primer in Sheer. I dot it on my lids and then blend it out with my finger.

The first eyeshadow will be this cream champagne eyeshadow from Maybelline, the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded. With a brush I applied it all over the lid and blended it into the inner corner too. To set the cream, I'm applying a champagne powder shadow from L'Oreal, the Infallible Shadow in Iced Latte. This will make the cream shadow last longer.

I'm using a shimmery blue from a Wet and Wild Trio, On Cloud Nine, and I'm applying it on the outer corner as well as blending it into the crease. You don't want it to be too opaque here, we want a light layer of blue first because we'll be building up the color intensity.

Then with a darker blue shadow, this is from another Wet and Wild Palette, Poster Child, I'm applying it to the outer corner to deepen it. I'm blending it lightly into the crease, so there is still depth to the look.

Taking a teal eyeliner from Rimmel, in the color Turquoise, line the lower lash line. Also line the waterline with a white eyeliner, the one I used is from L'Oreal, in the color white.

With a liquid eyeliner, this one is the Jordana Fabu Liner, create a thin line with a little wing. You can do whatever shaped wing liner you like, this is just what I'm doing. Lastly for the eyes, apply mascara to the top and bottom lashes. I'm using Covergirl Clump Crusher.

Here's the finished eyeshadow look~!!

On my lips I applied this Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in Orange. On my lips it has a coral color, which I think works nicely with the warm tones in the gold.

I hope you guys enjoyed this makeup tutorial~! If you would like more makeup tutorials in the future, or if you have suggestions for future looks, let me know in the comments below. Also if you recreate this look, share it with me on my social media. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

Fire Fairy Nail Art~!

Hey Guys~!

It's summer, so I wanted to do a really unique nail art tutorial that's great for any summer colors. Today I'll be doing this abstract Fire Fairy nail art, which will be my first tutorial, I think, with rhinestones~!! Of course you don't have to, but I really like how it looks. So let's start~~!

For This You Will Need . . .

Base Coat

Coral or Orange Nail Polish

Nude Nail Polish

Gold Nail Polish

Clear Nail Polish

Rhinestones

Dotting Tool

First apply your base coat, to protect your natural nails. With your coral or orange nail polish, create a gradient on some of your nails, I did it on my thumb, middle, and pinky fingers. 

Next is the dots. With your gold polish, create a dotted arch on the nails with the gradient. You can do however many or whatever size you like. This is what I did. 

On your other nails, apply a nude polish. Then do an arch of coral/orange dots. On the top and bottom of the coral arch, do a gold arch of dots. 

On one of your gradient nails we'll be applying a rhinestone. First take your dotting tool and dip it in clear nail polish. Make a dot at the base of your nail. Then use the dotting tool to pick up the rhinestone and place it on the dot. This might take some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's super easy. 

Lastly apply a clear polish over all your nails to seal in your design and give it a nice shine~! Now we are finished~!!

I hope you guys enjoyed this nail art tutorial~! If you would like another abstract fairy/fantasy themed nail art, let me know in the comments what element and/or the creature that will inspire the next look. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.

Confetti Nail Art Tutorial~!

Hey Guys~!

I wanted to do a really fun and colorful nail art design, and I came up with this. Today I'll be showing you guys how to create what I am calling, Confetti Nails. It is super easy and requires no professional nail art tools. I did a pastel color scheme, but I think there are millions of color options that would look good too. So let's start~~!

For this you will need . . .

A Clear Nail Polish / Base Coat 

Any Nail Polishes You Like

A Pencil

First apply your base coat and let it dry. This will protect your nails from staining. Then apply 2 - 3 coats of your base color. I am using a pale blue from Essie called Bikini So Teeny. Wait for it to dry it between coats, and make sure it's dry before continuing.

Choose some other colors for the 'confetti'. I went with a coral from Etude House, a pastel purple from OPI, You're Such a Budapest, and a pastel green from OPI, Gargantuan Green Grape. I dipped the pencil in the polish and made dots and swirls all over the nail. I started with the coral, then the purple, and lastly the green.

To blend everything, do the same technique with the base color. Wait for this all to dry, it will take a while.

Once it's dry, apply a clear top coat to add a shine and help the design last longer.

And now we are finished~!!

I hope you guys enjoyed this nail art tutorial. If you try it out, or you have suggestions for future nail art tutorials, let me know in the comments below, and share your pictures with me on my social media. Thank you guys so much for reading and I'll see you at my next post.
