Minnie Mouse Nail Art Tutorial

Hey everyone,
                       Welcome back :) I do hope all my viewers are doing well and enjoying everything the New Year has brought thus far. Today, I have something a bit more playful and one that will definitely bring back those childhood memories. A simple Minnie Mouse inspired design and all you will need are your polishes, nail art brush and dotting tool. Also, be sure to start off with a base coat before applying polish to protect your natural nails. Let’s get on to the tutorial!




Step one: I began with a mix of pink and white polish like shown below.

Step two: Next, create a semi-circle close to the cuticle. Do this using a thin nail art brush and black polish; outline the semi-circle then fill in the shape.

 

Step three: Next, using a larger dotting tool and black polish create two spots at the edge of the semi-circle previously made. This will represent Minnie’s ears. 

Step four: In the free space between the ‘ears’ using a thin brush and white polish create an ‘X’ shape then connect the edges like shown.

Step five: Fill in the vacant area inside white lines to form a bow then add pink dots like shown.

Step six: Clean up around your nails to remove any polish from the skin and add your preferred clear top coat to smooth out design and add shine.

Products used:

China Glaze: Pom pom

Essie: Cute as a button

LA Girl: Obsidian

Sinful colors: Snow me white

Santa's Suit Nail Art Tutorial

Hey everyone,
                        Seasons Greetings to all my viewers :). Today I will be sharing my first Christmas tutorial which, like the title says is a Santa inspired design. In addition to your red, white, black and gold polishes you will also need a thin nail art brush and a dotting tool. Also, be sure to start off with a base coat before applying polish to protect your natural nails. Let’s get on to the tutorial!



Step one: Paint all nails in bright red.

Step two: Next, using a white polish create a thick vertical stripe down the middle of the nail and another strip across the top edge of the nail.

Step three: Using black polish and a nail art brush create a horizontal line midway across the nail to represent a belt.

Step four: Add a gold square detail over the black line previously made for the buckle. Also, gold dots for the buttons of his suit.

Step five:  Clean up around your nails to remove any polish from the skin and add your preferred clear top coat to smooth out design and add shine.

Products used:

Essie: Lollipop

LA Girl: Obsidian

Sinful colors: Snow me white
