Nail Designs! Snowmen!

It's time to get festive! Today I decided to show off my creative side with some DIY snowman nails!!

CHECK IT:

First, I started with a background color. I picked a bright blue hue! I did one coat, waited for it to dry, then applied the second coat. This varnish is named "Fresh Water" and I picked it up at Claire's.


Next, I used a white two way nail art pen and brush to draw two circles for the snowman's head and body!


Once the white circles had fully dried, I used a black two way nail art pen and brush to draw two stick arms, two dots for buttons, two dots for eyes, and then a smile. I then used the same product, but in pink, to draw a top hat and scarf!

Once the nails are fully dry, apply a topcoat for shine and longevity!

I used the pen part on the two way varnishes. Simply pull the lid straight up instead of unscrewing!


PRODUCTS USED:
White - $5.50                             Blue - $4.00
Black - $5.50                             Pink - $5.50

Nail Designs! Funky Fab... DIY!

Show off your artistic side with these "do it yourself" nail designs! It's easy, thanks to Claire's "two way nail art pen and brush"

Here's what I came up with...
CHECK IT!


Speckles for eccentricity, stripes for Independence, swirls for whimsy, zig zags for indecision, and polka dots for possibilities!



I made sure to use the same designs on both hands but, I switched up which fingers I put the designs on. I also inverted the color of the polka dots to keep it funky and unpredictable!


PRODUCTS USED:

CLAIRE'S
TWO WAY NAIL ART PEN AND BRUSH    $5.50


I found these at Claire's. When you unscrew the top the brush is long and thin, perfect for feather like strokes. If you pull the top straight off, the tip is a pen. I used the pen to create these designs!

Be sure to use a clear coat for shine!!

I hope you like this funky style!! Be sure to share it with all your friends on Facebook and Twitter!! xoxo!
