Blue based snowflake nails!! (Winter nails #1)

**Idea taken offline**

 

 Start off with a blue base (China Glaze's "Blue Iguana")

 

 Next, if the blue isn't shiny or sparkly add a top coat that is (China Glaze's "Fairy Dust).

 

 Now for the snowflake, you can use any white color and a thin brush (or toothpick) and just follow the lines in the steps below.

 

 Add a half snowflake towards the end of the nail if you'd like and three dots on either side of the flakes (optional).

 

And there you have it, accent snowflake nails! :)

Hope you enjoyed!!

Step by step on Cow nails! (Requested by a friend)

Every now and then I like to take requests for nail designs from family, friends and co-workers. It wasn't until recently that I realized I needed to make step by step tutorials (seriously?! it took me this long?!). I just figured it would take me so much longer to paint, take a picture then continue the routine until I was done. But enough talk...enjoy these cow nails requested by my friend Fabiola! :)

 

Start off with a white base coat (1-2 coats)...I'm using one by China Glaze in "White on White." And slightly let dry so the next color does not mix.

 

Then using a pink color, I'm using another China Glaze polish in "Shocking Pink." fill in the tip of your ring finger (or wherever you want your cow's face to be).

 

Then using a dotting tool, tooth pick or thin brush, take a black color (I used Essie's "Licorice") and dot the eyes and nose (exuse the poor lighting these first pictures were taken with my camera, next are from my phone).

 

Then take the brush (or a thin brush) the polish comes with and start making your cow's spots, this part gets a little messy around the edges but you can always use remover to clean that up!

 

Repeat the spots on all the other nails and there you have it, cute cow nails!!!
