Color blocking


If you look around you and in the stores you can see so much colors!
Make a design that fits with your outfit!

What do you need?
- two or more colors nail polish
- base and top coat
- tape
- good brush

What to do?
Start with a base coat to protect your nails. Choose a design you want to make and pick the colors. Use a good brush to make perfect straight lines. If you think it's hard to make straight lines you can also use tape. If you use tape make sure the nail polish is dry. Finish your design with the top coat.

Beautiful sunset

Now it's summer, so it's time for some summer nails!
I've found a very cute design and I've tried it myself.
It's a easy design. I'll tell you how to do it yourself!

What you need:
- nail polish (I used a base coat, a top coat, yellow, orange, pink and black)
- sponge
- dotting pencil
- nail polish remover

What to do?
Start with a base coat to protect your nails. With the sponge you'll make a mess on your fingers. So if you want to protect your fingers you can use tape at all the sides of your nails and when you're done you can remove the tape with the nail polish. You can also remove the nail polish with a little bit of nail polish remover. 

To make this beautiful design you'll need a sponge to blend the colors. Make a stripe with each of the three colors on the sponge near to each other. Make sure you'll use the right order, in this design yellow-orange-pink.The three stripes have to be as long as your nail. When you've made the stripes put them quickly on your nails, or it will dry. Put the sponge twice on your nails for a brighter look, after that use a top coat. The nail polish have to be a bit wet, so the colors will blend nicely. 
Repeat this part for every nail, because you'll have to make the stripes again for each nail. 

Make sure you're nail polish is dry when you'll start with the palm tree. Start with the trunk. It's just a stripe from the bottom till the middle of your nail. Make sure that the bottom is thicker then the top of the trunk. After that you'll can make the leaves, they start thicker and end in a point. Start from the middle, it's easier to start there. When you're done, finish with a top coat to protect you're design!
Good luck and enjoy!

Hi there sailor!

Last week I went sailing on the sea, so time for some sailor nail art!
When I think of sailors, I think of: anchors, white, blue, red and gold. 
So I picked a view designs!


I think the designs are very cute. I also made one myself.
Always start with a base coat. After that choose the colors you want to use in your design. I started with polishing my nails blue and make white stripes. It's convenient to use a long nail art brush to make nice stripes. After finishing the stripes I made the little red harts.
