Caution: Wet Paint

I've wanted to do this wet paint/dripping paint look ever since I first saw it ages ago. However, I held off on doing it because I've seen it done so many times, but today I finally decided to check it off my list! This look received so much positive feedback on Instagram so I decided to film a short tutorial. This look is very easy, quick, and cute! I hope you guys find this video helpful and I hope you will share your take on it if you decide to try it out for yourself!


Ice Cream x Sprinkles

What's better than nail art? Yummy nail art! The video below is a tutorial for a look I did inspired by ice cream with sprinkles....my not so guilty pleasure! I loved this look so much that I wore it for about three days...and for me, that's a long track record! For my 'sprinkles' I used holographic glitter, if you don't have any don't be discouraged! This look will look just as cute with colorful dots! Enjoy this ice cream look on your nails, but be careful not to let them tempt you into taking a bite!

Half-moon x Scalloping

One of my most favorite nail art designs combines the half-moon and scalloping technique. I love this look for many reasons:

1. The half-moon technique is so easy to do when using reinforcements* as guides. 
2. There is something elegant about the scalloping technique that I love no matter how it is used! 3.Using a white polish makes the look so clean and mimics a french manicure.
4. You can add accents to scalloping which I absolutely love to do, glitter is my weapon of choice.

View my tutorial on this look and try it for yourself. I promise you won't be disappointed.....and well, if you are...let me know and hopefully I can give you a  few pointers :)
