Polka Dot French Tips

This is a simple, quick, and easy nail design for any occasion. I hope you enjoy it! 

Step1: start by applying a base coat to protect your nails.

Step2: apply a diagonal row of glitter down the middle. This will be the bottom border of the French tip.

Step3: using the glitter as a guide. Apply a blue nail polish on the top half of the nail. You can cover up some of the glitter so that only a thin, neat layer is remaining. 

Step4: use a toothpick and a white polish to apply polka dots.

Step5 (optional): use the glitter polish to go over the white polka dots. This will make the polka dots have a slight tint of gold. Remember to use little polish on the brush. 

Step6: apply a top coat and clean the edges. That's it!

Summer Lace Nails

Hi everyone! I am a big fan of lace, so I decided to incorporate that into a nail design! I hope you enjoy it!

Step1: start with a base coat. Then apply a white polish as the base color.

Step2: apply colors to half of each nail. You can follow the color scheme I did below. 

Step3: apply complimentary colors to the other half of the nail. Don't worry about the border for now. Once again, you can follow my color scheme below. 

Step4: this step is a little tricky, but try to blend out the border. Do this by applying thin coats of either color on top of each other. It should look something like this. 

Step5: now use a glitter polish to blend the two colors some more. 

Step6: now you can start drawing the lace. I like to start in the top corner. For my thumb, I did a dot surrounded by a circle. 

Step7: now continue drawing the lace using a combination of arches, dots, and lines. 

Step8: for the remaining nail, start by drawing stripes in one direction. 

Step9: now draw stripes in the other direction to cross cross the original lines. 

Step10: using the same lacing technique, draw random lines, dots, and arches on the next nail. I will show you each of my nails below. 

Step11: finish off the design by adding a top coat and cleaning around the nail. You are done!
