Day 157) Nail art beach
It is such a beautiful day today; SUMMER!
I just have to do some summer nails.
Because I'm a mother of 4 I immediately think of a beach, children playing, sand castles, beach balls and so on.
I translated this onto my nails and this is the outcome:

Day 131) Velvet nails neon
Today was a busy day and I'm so tired.
The last thing that I want to think about are my nails.
But a challenge is a challenge and I don't like to give up!
However, I did choose to do a simple nail art.
Something that's easy to do and doesn't need much explanation.
So, I took out the velvet again.
The velvet I have is in neon colors and also has a fine glitter. Perfect for summer I think.
The colors I used are:
-Neon pink
-Neon blue
-Neon orange
-Neon green
One nail is in pink, one in blue, one in orange and one in green. I chose to do an accent nail on the ring finger with the 4 colors combined into a flower.
As glue for the velvet I use a cheap topcoat. For the flower I used a dottingtool to apply the topcoat.
Instructions for velvet nails are very simple:
* It's recommended to paint your nails in the same colour as your velvet. When you don't hit every spot of the nail it doesn't show that well.
I have to admit I used a light yellow colour as my base. You can tell this isn't the same as my neons but I didn't want to have the extra work of painting my nails in different colors.
* Use the wet nail polish as a glue or apply a clear coat for glue
* Apply the velvet. Just drop it on the nail and remove the surplus velvet by blowing or careful brushing
When you're combining colors on one nail. Work with one colour at the time.
See you tomorrow hopefully with more energy!

Day 129) Flower nail art summer
Flower nail arts are timeless.
Just change your design or colors a little bit and your flower nail art will do just fine at any occasion or time of the year.
Today's flower nail art is for summer nails but you can do them for spring as well of course.
The design is not very complicated and I have a step-by-step.
1) After the basecoat (of course), Paint your nails in a yellow colour
2) Use a striper brush and a purple colour to paint some flowers on your nails.
(I've made a bigger one on the left and a smaller one on the right, but it all depends on the size
of your nails)
How to make these simple flowers:
The arrows show the movements I've made with the striper brush. The numbers determine the order.
Grote bloem = big flower Kleine bloem = small flower
For the bigger one you start with the outer lines of the flower petal (1, 2 and 3) and then colour it in (4).
For the smaller one start with a dot (1) and then pull the polish to the centre of the flower (2).
3) With green you make the stem and stem leaves. An easier version would be some green dots placed around the flowers

4) Make the centre of the flowers orange

5) Use a pink colour to make smaller flower petals within your purple ones. Again this all depends on the size. I only did this for the bigger flowers.

6) Let it dry for a little while and then apply a topcoat
Essie - Good to go
ALL DONE!
Have fun with it!
