Duo - Colour Nails

My cousin came over and asked if I could do her nails, she wanted them to be two colours and bold. So that's what I did! 

Equipment:
- Base coat

- 3 different coloured nail polishes (I used green, yellow and
  burgundy).
- Black striper pen (optional)

- Topcoat

Step 1:

Prep your nails using your favourite base coat and then using your first nail polish (in my case I used green) paint two coats.

 

Step 2:

Take your second colour and paint half of the nail with a curve shape. I used this same colour on every other nail and chose a different colour for the rest of them. You could have the same colour on each nail or different colours on every nail - it's up to you! If you have longer nails you may want to use 3 different colours on each one, just make each section slightly smaller.

Step 3:

This step is optional, my cousin chose not to have it, however to add a little bit more detail you can use your black striper and follow the curve to separate out the two colours.

Step 4:

To complete your design add a coat of your favourite topcoat to help set the nail polish.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope you give it a go! Any questions you have I will be happy to answer :) 

Sausage Dog Nail Art

I found a picture the other day and someone had painted their nails as a sausage dog! I loved the idea so I had to have a go myself :) Here's how I did it:

Equipment:

- Green nail polish (or any other colour to use as a base colour)

- Brown nail polish

- White nail polish

- Black nail polish

- Nail art brush

- Dotting tool

- Topcoat

- Basecoat

Step 1 - The Base Colour:

Using your basecoat, prepare the nail. When that is dry paint 2 coats of a base colour of your choice. I used Barry M - mint green.

Step 2 - The Body:

Take your brown nail polish and on your middle and ring finger paint a rectangle across your nail (you want to try and get them the same size if you can).

Then on your index finger paint another rectangle the same size as before and add a small, curved line near the tip of your nail to make the front legs of the sausage dog.

On your thumb you are going to paint the head. At the tip of your nail paint an oval shape that extends out on one side (the picture below should make this clearer for you).

Finally on you little finger use your dotting tool to create a small circle. Then use your nail art brush to draw one curved line going towards the cuticle (this is going to be the tail) and one curved line going towards the tip of the nail (this will be the back legs of the dog).

Step 3 - Finishing Touches:

Using you black nail polish and a small dotting tool, add an eye to the dog. 

Then take your white nail polish and nail art brush and create small bones around the body of the sausage dog. 

Finally finish your design with a topcoat of your choice.

Thank you for reading this, I hope it was clear to you and you are able to give this really cute sausage dog a go. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)
