Gradient Finger Nails

Are your Finger Nails ready for some FUN?
Here is a great way to dress them up.

Tequila Sunrise

Supplies:
Different shades of the came color nail polish
(we used 5 different shades)
Sponge (Porous)


Steps
Paint nails lightest color.


Dab small amount of next darkest color onto sponge.


While sponge is still wet dab lightly onto nail a little above cuticle.
Do all nails.  You might need to add more polish to sponge.


Dab next color onto sponge and dab onto nail a little above last color.


Repeat with each color.  End with darkest color on tips.
Making an Ombre effect.


Let nails dry a little and apply a top clear coat.
If nails look a little choppy apply a glitter top coat like below.

Swirly Finger Nails

Your nails are about to get a whole lot sassier.


Supplies:
2 or more Nail Polishes
Bottle or Filtered Room Temp Water
Clear Coat of Nail Polish
Tooth Picks (lots)
Cotton Balls & Q-tips
Nail Polish Remover
Tape
Bowl or Short Cup

Paint nails with a lighter base coat and let dry.
Tape around your nails for easier clean up.


Place water in bowl or cup.
Drip polishes into a bulls eye pattern into water.


Use tooth pick to create designs. 
Like we did as kids with Easter eggs.


Dip nail onto pattern in water.  Leave finger in water until you clean excess polish off of the surface of water with tooth pick.


Repeat, Repeat, Repeat...
until you have each finger just the way you like.

Peel tape off.

Use cotton ball or q-tip dipped in polish remover to clean up.

Let dry and apply clear top coat

Now you have Swirly Finger Nails.


Close your eyes and see the beauty.
