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 222) Nail art toy windmill

Think of colorful toy windmills...

That's been my inspiration for today's nail art.

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 199) Colorful abstract nail art

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!

Day 172) Nail art inspired by crayons art

Like I've said before, I get my inspiration everywhere.
Pinterest has proven to be a great medium for this.
Today I came along this picture of crayons art:

I really love it and so do many other people because after this one I found like a thousand other simular ones.
I love the colors and the little twist with the umbrella. Again credits for the one who came up with this idea!
In short: Glue the crayons on top of a canvas. Use a blow dryer to melt the wax of the crayons and let it drip.

The canvas above is today's inspiration for my nail art.

Of course I'm not going to use real crayons...don't want to burn my skin.
Nail polish thinned with remover will probably work. But I didn't want to ruin my base, so I chose to use a very watery acrylic paint, which could be very fast removed with some water.

Here is my step-by-step:

Step 1: After the basecoat apply a white nail polish

Step 2: Put some pieces of tape on the nail (leaving the sides and 1/3 of the top tape-free)

Step 3: Use the acrylic paint (picture 1) and a brush to make colorful stripes on the nails (picture 2)

Step 4: Remove the tape and clean the cuticles (if a little paint got under the tape, retouch the white)

Step 5: Use a nail art brush and black nail polish to paint an umbrella at the top of your white section (and if you like, paint some people underneath it)

That's it!
