Chalkboard Flower Nail Tutorial!!

Hey everyone! I'm really excited to show you all my first tutorial! I decided to do my Chalkboard Flower Nails since a few ladies asked me on Instagram to do them. So, without further adieu, let's begin!

Step 1: Paint your nails all black or a dark color. Remember, think old fashioned chalkboards from school!
Step 2: With a small dotting tool, make five dots in a circle on your nail.
Step 3: With a toothpick, drag the center of each dot towards the center of the dots (see the flower being formed?!)
Step 4: Here's where it's up to you and your nail length. Repeat steps 2 and 3, creating atleast four (4) flowers onto your nails. What I chose to do was two white flowers and two colored flowers. You can do whatever colors you feel, but focus on having ONE color per nail.
Step 5: Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the other color polish
Step 6: Dot random colored dots onto your nails to fill in some of the gaps and apply either a rhinestone or a glitter polish into the center of your flowers. Apply a matte top coat and enjoy your nails!

These nails are really simple, yet get many compliments. The more colors you add, the more attractive it can get. Get creative with your colors, this is YOUR chalkboard that you get to flower up (take that teacher who said we can't color on the board! lol) Here's the full view of my chalkboard nails with just blue polishes and rhinestones:

Here is the original Chalkboard Flower mani with various colored polishes and glitter centers:

No matter what you do, you really can't go wrong with your flower color choices and you can't go wrong with how your flowers look. Most of mine aren't perfect and they ended up being some of my favorite ones!

Mix and Match Dreamcatcher and Feather

Hey everyone! Today I present an 'experiment' mani. I recently saw MissJenFabulous' youtube video on dreamcatcher nail art and decided to do my own version of it. Here's what happened:

I really like my dreamcatcher, but I think my feather could be better and my glitter would be less...chunky. It really piled up at the tips of my nails, so not too long after I did this design I took it right off. Oh well, always room to fix my errors!

Peacock Feather Nails-Revisited!

Hey everyone! Today I revisited my Peacock Feather nail art from last week. It was driving me crazy that I knew I could do better and I wanted to actually retry it, so that's exactly what I did. Here's the result:

This attempt came out so much better than my first attempt and I'm really excited at my improvement in a short week. This goes to show dedication and sitting to take your time doing your nails really pays off!

Glitzy Glamy Mix and Match

Hi everyone! Today I decided to go completely out of my element and go glitz and glam. If you know me, you know I'm not a big fan of glitter! Since today is the day after Valentine's Day I decided to give this a try. I must say that I'm pretty pleased with these!

The glitter freaked out the camera, so excuse the extreme brightness!

Peacock Feather Nails!

Hey loves! Today I present a super fast manicure of Peacock Feather Nails. It was my first time trying these, and it was so easy and fun!

I will admit, I put too many feathers onto my feather, so I will be revisiting this nail art when I get more time. Today the whole family is headed out to celebrate my dad's birthday and I was tired of having naked nails!
