Day 292) Nail art painting rainbow flowers

After a lot of rainy days today actually started off kinda nice...of course in the afternoon the rain started again but at least there has been some sun :D
Having some sunshine makes me want to make a colorful nail art.

As inspiration for today's nail art I used this image:

 
 
I replaced the butterflies with flowers (to make it easy ;D)

Day 214) Nail art meteor shower

For today's nail art I used the following image as inspiration:

To me this image represents a meteor shower.
 
Here is my step-by-step:

Start with a black base color

Use a striper brush and white polish to make some stripes.
Starting at the cuticle and of different lengths.

Use a dottingtool or your striper brush to make a (tear)drop at the end of each stripe.

Use the striper brush and different colors of polish to color your meteor shower in.

Add a dot of lighter shade in the middle of the (tear)drops.
I used the same colors as for the meteor shower, only this time I added some white polish to it.

Add some glitter!!!
With striper brush or on the entire nail.
If you're happy with the result...topcoat it!

I wasn't really happy...yet.
I chose to make the stripes less wide by using my striper brush and the black.
Then I finished with topcoat.
 
Done!

Day 207) Puzzled

It's so hot here.
And when it's hot in the Netherlands, it is really HOT!
Bubbles on my painted nails, quick drying nail polish...pfff and most of all, no inspiration.

With a puzzled mind I came up with today's nail art, it's a kind of puzzle.
I used a small dottingtool for this nail art and lots of colors.

Day 175) Abstract circles and stripes

For today's nail art I used this image as inspiration:
I like how the circles stand out on their own but also take part in the complete look.
Time to translate this to my nails I think...
Here is my step-by-step:

Step 1: The circles






Material:
- Tape
- Perforator














Take a piece of tape and fold it in two (sticky sides onto each other)
















Perforate the piece of tape.
Unfold the tape and there you have two perfect circle stencils (that is...if your perforator is still sharp enough to perforate through tape)










Stick your DIY circle stencils on the desired place on your nail.
Then paint some horizontal colorful stripes on them.
I chose to do this design as accent nails on my index and ring finger.
Remove the tape.







Step 2: Fill up the rest of your nail(s) with vertical colorful stripes (I used the same colors from the circles). Topcoat and done!
