Nails!

     Nails, Nails, Nails, Nails and wait more nails! Everyone has nails and I am a fanatic about painting mine (One of the only maybe fashionable things I know!) I used to bite my nails more than the sky is blue, but then I found out how to quit! Don't try that weird polish that gives them that horrid taste! Just put crazy fancy stick on designs on them! Their are tons of stick on nails that you can cut or file to fit your nail and it'll look so good you won't want to bite em'


     I am definitely not an artist nor anyone near one but there are tons of awesome things you can do to your nails (That I only recently discovered thankfully to my friend). There is a nail style called marbling.
Steps to marbling! 
  •   Get a bowl of water or multiple tiny bowls filled with water (10 like the amount of your fingernails).
  • Put tape around your finger surrounding your nails but not on the nail.
  • Take your favorite colors of nail polish (The picture above used pink, purple and black). Place a drop of each in the water on top of each other (Don't let the brush touch the water just let the nail polish drop off of it). 
  • Take a toothpick and swirl it through the nail polish.
  • Place the top of your finger nail on the design and lift, all the nail polish will come up and onto your finger (Thus the tape!)
  • Let it dry and peel off the tape and paint over the design with clear nail polish to make it last longer!
  • You can also look up how to do it on youtube! 
       There are tons and tons of things that you can do to your nails! My mind wants to implode with all the fancy things that can be accomplished!
One idea that I know a girl that does it is the whole 3D nail scene! She buys buttons from the local Walmart and clips off the back of it (The loop part that is used to sew) and she paints her nails then she uses super glue or nail glue and glues it to her fingers! I'm clumsy enough with now long nails how could I possibly go around with objects on em'! But it looks really cool there are tons of buttons! You can also do it with little pearls and small objects (But don't use a clear coat with these!).


    As I said there are tons of ideas on how to anything to your nails! I am a HUGE fan of nail art pens! I love to write on my nails. If you are SUPER artsy (unlike me) you can draw awesome pictures and cute little figures! 








     One of the COOLEST ideas I have found is the newspaper on nails idea! To do these
beautious nails you will require clipped newspaper articles of your choice, white nail polish, clear nail polish, make-up pads or cotton flat pads (Can do without), Rubbing alcohol, Nail polish remover a cu tip and OF COURSE your finger nails!

How to do Newspaper Nails!

 

  • Cut out small clippings from your newspaper! Your favorite words, small pictures, numbers, letters, anything! 
  • Paint your nails with a white base coat first and let dry.                                                               
  • While your nails are drying put the newspaper clippings on seperate make-up pads (Little cotton flat pads). 
  • Place your finger in rubbing alcohol for about 5-10 seconds and quickly put news paper clipping over it and hold it for about 10-15 seconds, peel off slowly
  • A little bit of newspaper may be stuck to your finger nails. Take a cu tip and dip in nail polish remover and gently use on extra paper to remove it
  •  Then paint a lovely clear coat on top and BAM! Beautiful nails! :)
