Tutorial Tuesday - Dandelion

Hey y'all! I almost wasn't able get this posted today! But I pushed my plans back so I could! Yay!

1. Draw a little dot with a slender stem.

2. Create small spokes from the center dot, they don't have to be perfect!

3. Now here comes the fluffiness!

4. Now fill in those extra spaces with more dandelion fluffiness!

5. Draw a few fluttering dandelion seeds, and you're done!

I hope that this tutorial helps y'all!!! Paint on my lovies!

Tutorial Tuesday - St. Patrick's Day!

Hey y'all! Happy Tuesday! So this post is going to be short, sweet, and to the point! Only because I am working on making nail polish rings! Those ones I mentioned in my birthday post(; So let's get to this pictorial! So this took 3 thin coats of OPI's Gargantuan Green Apple over 2 coats of a white base.

1. Create a small heart at your cuticle with a dotting tool.
2. - 4. Keep creating hearts around each other but make sure you leave a space in between each heart.
5. Add a small line for a stem, and voila!

Simple, right!? Hope y'all enjoyed! Paint on!

Tutorial Tuesday - Emmalynn

So, I'm not sure how I managed to actually remember to take pictures for my pictorial, but I will tell you that I had totally forgot to when I had started! So I had to clean my nail off, and start over! How frustrating! I gotta get into the groove of doing pictorials on the norm! I think it's really fun to show y'all how I go about creating some of my designs(: I hope y'all enjoy this tutorial of my sad little kitty! lmao.

1. Paint two (2) coats of a pastel pink base color.
2. Start with a wide, curvy "w" for the mouth, and add a diamond for a nose (I started with the mouth, and nose so that I could center the eyes better).
3. Add the cute little whiskers.
4. Add white dots for the eyes on either side of the diamond, and draw little triangles for the ears.
5. Add a black dot inside each eye, and another tiny white dot inside that black dot, and voilà!

Pretty simple, right!? I hope y'all enjoyed, and I'd love to see any recreations out there! Paint on!

Tutorial Tuesday - Pastel Dry Brush!

Since this is my first pictorial, it is just of the background color palette. Honestly, I kept forgetting to take a picture after every step I did! Luckily I was able to get these! If you haven't read my Mani Monday post about these nails, then you wouldn't know who inspired me to do this design, and she is an amazing nail artist! And there's a link to her youtube video I watched for this on that post as well. So you might want to check it out(;

Let's begin!

1. Paint two (2) coats of a white base color (or maybe a nude, but I used white).
2. Starting with your darkest color, wipe excess paint off the brush.
3. Wipe EVEN MORE excess paint off the brush (I found that notebook paper works best).
4. Swipe over white base randomly (you may have to do this several times to get desired opacity of swipes).
5. Continue with all colors until you are happy with the outcome (I did end up repeating some of my darker colors after one time around with all colors).

And that's it! How easy, right!? If you would like to know what colors I used for this funky mani, just pop on over to My Nail Art page to get in on the not-so-secret secret colors! ;P Thanks for stopping by!
