These were just to try out something, but I ended up liking them a lot!
I always look around on Instagram, Tumblr, WeHeartIt and Youtube for inspiration on nail designs. And I found a mani with a white base and all different sizes of dots. In different colors. I thought it looked awesome and wanted to try it out. The image I found was with the colors yellow, red and orange. But I decided to try it out with just two colors: a light green and a blue.
A few days before I made this mani, I bought new dottingtools! I already wanted to try them out, but somehow couldn't decide on what to make with them, so this came right on time ;)
Also I wanted to use this mani for a (sort of) contest for a toyshop here in the Netherlands. In this toyshop they have a little 'beauty department' with a small amount of nailpolishes, jewelry etc. On one of the shelving there was a note. On that note they were asking for someone who wanted to make how to video's with those products, all you had to do was make a tutorial video and upload that on your youtube channel and send an email with the link to that tutorial video to the organizers of the contest. I wanted to join immediately because I just thought it would be fun to try.
I made this tutorial for this contest, but ended up not sending the mail with the link to the organizers of the contest. I wanted to, but when I got time to edit and upload this video the contest had already ended.. :( Well I don't mind to much, I had fun making this and now it's just a tutorial for my channel! ;)
I didn't use a lot of polishes for this look, for the dots you can just go for one color, or like I did two. But I think you can use a lot more colors and this mani would still look cool!
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

Your own fingerprint on top of your nails!
I'm an night person, I can stay awake for hours and be busy till late. A few days ago I was awake late and I was just chilling in my room. I was actually getting ready to go to bed. And somehow a idea popped in my head, I can't remember what I was thinking about and how I got this idea, but I couldn't wait to try it to see if it worked. The idea I had was the following: Use some acrylic paint, paint your nails white, cover the back of your right finger with the acrylic paint (if you're painting the left hand) and when the white polish almost dried push your finger coated in a acrylic paint on the finger and Ta-Da! your fingerprint on your nails!
At first I thought that the acrylic paint would just be a big smoosh on the nail. But it actually worked! I tried some different colors on the white polish. Some were better than others. If you want to re-create this manicure, you get the best result with a red or blue acrylic paint. Yellow and green totally didn't worked for me. But try out what works and looks the best for you.
It's a really nice effect on the nails. And because I used acrylic paint, you can easily wash the paint of your fingers with some water. A super fast and super easy design!
I wish I discovered this idea earlier, because I think this is a perfect nailart for halloween. Better next year ;)
You don't need a lot of polishes/acrylic paint for this manicure but the polishes I used are listed below:

Leopard print
A friend of mine absolutely LOVES leopard print, she has everything with that print: shoes, jewelry, bags and so on! So I was inspired by her to do this nailart. I'm not a big fan of animal prints on bags, shoes etc. but I do like it on my nails ;) It's not as noticeable as a animal print sweater or something like that. I like my animal print to be subtle ;)

Messy Halloween Water Marble
Here's another Halloween inspired manicure! A messy water marble. I deliberately choose to make this water marble not so neat and tidy just because I thought Halloween isn't about things being neat and tidy ;)
After I finished filming this manicure, I really didn't like the endresult. I thought it looks awful and like someone who never ever ever had done water marbling did my nails. But after a few times, I got used to the look and started to like them. Then I decided to edit the clips and make a tutorial for this manicure, even after I wasn't planning to.
I like the way my index and tumb turned out. Sadly some bubbles popped and you can see the white polish on some spots. But hey, that's a risk with water marbling :)
The polishes I used for this manicure
In the tutorial I already had painted my nails with a base and a white polish. And I taped my nails to help with the clean up afterwards. I will post a tutorial on how I tape my nails soon!

Spooky, slimey and dark nails. It's time for Halloween nails!
It's October, the month were soo many things happen: World Animal Day, Breast Cancer Awareness month, Thanksgiving and soooo much more. And of course, the reason why I made this manicure: Halloween!
I our family we don't do anything with Halloween, but I just liked to paint my nails in a Halloween theme ;)
I bought the orange color one day before I made this mani, I thought the orange color almost screamed HALLOWEEN! I don't know why, but I had to buy it and make a halloween mani with it ;)

Mix 'n Match
Using a small amount of scottish tape, a make up sponge and a small dottingtool I made this look. I really liked the way this mani turned out! I had a idea in my head to use the scottish tape and the make up sponge to make a design on all my nails. But when I finished this on my nails, I didn't liked the result. I don't know if it was because I only used black and white polishes, or that I didn't like the fact that all my nails looked exactly the same.
After removing the failed design on my nails, I decided to do something different on every nail. One with some small dots, one with the scottish tape and the make up sponge and to finish the look one with glitter! You can never go wrong with a glitter accent nail! ;)
And this is what I came up with
The nailpolishes I used are named below

Black, White and Gold
For this manicure I used some thin pieces of tape.If you don't own these kind of tapes you can cut normal scottish tape in small strings.
This is a super easy design to make. But you do have to wait for the first layer of polish to completly dry!! Because if you don't and you put the tape strings on the polish you will ruin the nailpolish and you can start all over again.

Hope you like the look!
I'm getting near the end of the Black and white challenge list. But not quite yet! :)
After this one I'll still have four more Black & White mani's to create and share with you!
This time I had to make something with a colorfull base and white decorations. So I made these adorable sheep nails inspired by the amazing JuliaMll
