No More Mani Monday/Tutorial Tuesdays!

Ok y'all! So I've decided to take Mani Monday, and Tutorial Tuesdays away! But don't worry! I'm just gonna start posting my manis, and pictorials as I go along! So instead of just 1 mani/pictorial a week, it could be 2, or 3, or even 4! Exciting right!? With that said, let's get into todays mani!

***Colors used listed here.***

Lace with Sheer Polka Dots

This gorgeous lace, and sheer polka dot design was inspired by @BadGirlNails (instagram)! This design has been all the rage! I've seen so many recreations of this lately, so I just had to jump on the band wagon, and try it out for myself! And I am one happy camper! Even though it did take me a nice amount of time to finish, I am very happy with the results! And I hope y'all are too! I would've done a pictorial for the lace nails, but honestly, I kept messing up, and so I stuck with the easy one! lol.

Sheer Polka Dot Pictorial

Step 1: Start off with a base coat to protect your nails from staining (I use OPI Nail Envy before EVERY mani).

Step 2: Create your own sheer black polish (details below!).

Step 3: I painted 2 coats of the black sheer polish I created.

Step 4: Polka dot it up!!!

Step 5: Outline your nail with a small nail art brush, and bam! You're done!

Black Sheer Polish DIY

I had to create my own black sheer polish, since I didn't have my own, and I used the video tutorial that @NailStorming (instagram) had posted! I just so happen to have my own pictorial from when I made my own!

Step 1: Grab a clear base coat (I used Seche Clear...after I cleaned the label on the bottle).

Step 2-3: Start adding a few drops at a time, and testing the darkness on your nails as you go (I started with 5 drops, and it was too light. I ended up using 10-12 drops for half of my Seche Clear).

Step 4: Shake shake shake, and you're done!

I really hope that this has helped y'all out! Comments, and feedback are always appreciated! Oh, and don't forget to paint on! ;)
