Pictorial on the 'Inspired by a picture'

Some of you asked me how I made this nail art! And since I never done a pictorial before I figured this was a good nail art to start with. 

For this nail art you need a white polish, a matte top coat, black and white acrylic paint and a glossy topcoat. Also I used two different kind of stiping brushes, one longer and one medium size and a small nail art brush

Brushes I used:

#37 Double Crackle Nail Art

Again a nail art inspired by someone else. This time I saw a tutorial on these nails on a youtube channel. The channel of ArcadiaNailArt. She makes amazing nail art and when I feel uninspired, her tutorials always give me the best ideas! 

This was the first tutorial I saw on her channel, and I wanted to try it out because I was convinced my crackle polishes couldn´t do this.

But they could! :D

The idea of this nail art is that you use not only one crackle polish, but two. You start of with a normal colour polish. I used Catrice ´ASHley´. A light grey polish. And I used two crackle polishes of Essence. The polishes don´t have a special name, just black and white. 

! This is very important if you want to try this out for yourself !
You need to apply a top coat polish in between the two crackle polishes, if you don't do that, the second crackle polish will just crackle the same way the first one did and you won't be able to see the first crackle polish. 

The polishes I used for this look:

I made a tutorial for this manicure. If you want to see exactly how I did this you can click right here and you'll go to my youtube channel. 

If you feel inspired by this look and recreate it, I would love to see what you did! If you have instagram, just use the hashtag #dutchnailss and I will see your design! :D  

Have fun painting and creating,

Inspired by a picture

Everyday when I wake up I always quickly check my Instagram. Just to see if anyone left a comment on a picture of mine and looking through the pictures people posted when I was sleeping. And just like today I was browesing through pictures of the people I follow. And I saw a picture. I immediately wanted to make this into a nail art manicure!

Some days passed and I finally had the time to make what I wanted. The picture that inspired me is from a lovely account named _JustMarina_ and it was this picture:

So I worked on this a for about a half day to make it the way I wanted it. But I'm SO HAPPY with the end result! I really really really like this nail art! 

So prepare for a lot of pictures! are you ready?! ;) I made pictures with a matt finish and a glossy finish. Personally I like the glossy finish better on this nail art.

#34 Diamonds are a girls best friend

I saw a nail art with a diamond a few weeks ago. And ever since that moment I wanted to create my own nail art with a diamond shape in it.

Not long after I saw the picture I was organizing my polishes: I bought a new small cabinet for my polishes that didn't fit on my 'special' polish shelf. And found a perfect combo of polishes. A gold glitter, a gold-ish magnetic polish and a green polish. I immediately thought of the diamond nail art. These colors would be perfect for this nail art! So when I had the time I tried it out. This was the first time I made a diamond like this. I'm not a 100% happy about the result but they still look cool ;)

 

The polishes I used for this nail art are listed below:

 

And I could not finish this blogpost without sharing the person who inspired me to do this nail art: The amazing talented Wannaknowasecret on IG. She makes amazing nail art and has beautiful nails! If you didn't knew her already, make sure you go check her out! ;)
