HOW TO: Funky Nail Art

Hey everyone I figured I haven't done a post on anything dealing with nail designs yet so here it is!

Summertime is almost here!!!...with that being said I wanted to try something different on my nails. I love nail art and trying new things so I looked up crazy designs on youtube and found a lot of people doing marble nail art. It's this cool way to create designs on your nails without using nail art polish with those tiny brushes, gel nails, or any other precise technique...all requiring you to hold your hand incredibly steady. This technique I found relatively easy and fun! So let me tell you step by step what I did! I narrowed it down to 10 easy steps!

1. Here are all the materials you will need to successfully do the marble nail art. Gather them all up in the beginning so you won't be looking for everything during the process.

2. Buff your nails to ensure you have a smooth base.

3. Apply tape on the skin around your nails because this process can get a little messy otherwise.

4. Now its time to base your nails with a color (white is preferred but I chose to use a shimmery white).

5. In your choice of cup (container) pour ROOM TEMPERATURE water into it.

6. Take as many nails polishes you want (I chose three) and simply drop a little of each color. Do two cycles of this or as many as you want but two is recommended.

7. Then take a toothpick and use it to move around the nail polishes in the water to make a design. When you've finished making your design place your finger on top of the design and submerge it into the water. Blow on the water for 10 seconds then use another toothpick to collect the excess nail polish in the water.

8. Take your finger out of the water after the 10 seconds and look at your creation.

9. Wait for your nail to dry and remove the tape (I found it easier to remove the tape with the little scissors pictured above).

*Optional step-Determining how messy your nail is use q-tips and cotton balls with nail polish remover on them and clean around the nail.

10. Then put your clear nail polish on and your ready to show them nails OFF girlfriend!!!

Thanks for reading you guys and I will be making another post soon!
