#50 May Nail Art Challenge: Flowers

The first challenge for the Nail Art Challenge by Californails is May Flowers. 

For this nail art I used three green polishes: 'I'm Not A Greenager' 'Miss Piggy's BF' and 'Take It Mint' all by Catrice

For the flowers I used white, black and purple acrylic paint. I used the black and white to darken and lighten the purple.

I had the time to film and make a tutorial for this nail art. If you want to look and see how I created this look, you can click right here.

Side note: The purple I used I never used before and turned out the acrylic paint really sucked! So the end result isn't what I had imagined. But I still like it.

Have fun painting and creating

#43 Water Marble March #4 ~ Three colour flower~

The month march is almost over, and I have two water marble tutorials left. This one and one other! At least I hope to get one other tutorial up, it really depends on if I have to work or not. But I'll try my hardest! 

Normally I dip one finger in the design at a time, I find this gives me better control on the finished result on my nails. But for this tutorial I decided to dip three fingers in at one time. And guess what, I didn't film the dipping in part! :'( I was so sad when I found that out! For a while I was thinking about not uploading the tutorial, but I did anyway. Just because I think dipping more than one finger in at a time isn't really that much different than just dipping in one finger. So yeah.. 

But however I'm still pleased with the end result! 

For this water marble I used three colours from Catrice. All from the limited edition collection 'Eve in Bloom' The darker purple/pink 'Bed of Flowers' The pastel orange 'Blossom me, Blossom you' And the pastel yellow 'Bloomynous'

If you haven't seen the tutorial yet, you can click right here!

  

Next time I won't forget to film all of the tutorial! ;) 

Have fun painting and creating,

#40 Water Marble March #1 ~ Two Colour Flowers ~

The first Water marble nail art for water marble march! It has been a while since I did a water marble nail art so I had to redo some of the nails because I didn't liked the outcome to much.. Maybe water marble isn't the best thing for a über perfectionist like myself ;) But I like water marbleing to much! 

I challenge you to join me in the Water Marble March 'challenge'. It's not really a challenge but I don't know how to call it otherwise ;)

If you make a water marble nail art this month I want to see it! Tag #dutchnailss on Instagram, or post it on my facebook page. I'm really curious about your creations! 

Have fun painting and creating,

Graduation nails!

My best friend has passed her high school and she has her graduation soon. I had the honor of painter her nails for that evening 

Yesterday we went shopping to buy her stuff for her new room when she goed to college. After buying EVERYTHING out of every store. We went to my place and I painted her nails.

And this is the end result:

 Some sweet little grey flowers with a blue glitter accent on a green/blue gradient base.

These polishes I used for this look:

Start off with your base coat, let this dry and paint a single layer of white paint on top of your nails. Next you need a makeup sponge. paint two lines of the polishes you want to use for the gradient next to each other.

When you've done this you carefully dip the sponge on top of your nail. You may have to repeat this step once or twice to get the best gradient. Let this dry and add a topcoat. This way the colors blend better and it looks nicer too. Now you can start with the little flower.
For the flower I used two different dottingtools: one with a really small dot and one with a slightly bigger dot.
I recreated the flower on a fake nail to show you how you can make this design:

When you're done with these flowers add a topcoat and this cute design is done!
