Chicks and lace nail designs

Chicks
This design is perfect for Easter!
What you will need:
Yellow nail polish
White nail polish
Black nail polish
Orange nail polish
Begin by painting your nails yellow. Then on your ring finger, with white, paint a bottom shell and a top shell, but make sure you leave room for the eyes and beak. Next on your middle finger paint only a bottom shell. Use the black nail polish to dot on eyes and use the orange nail polish to paint on the beak. To paint on the beak just make one small brush where you want the beak to go. repeat on your middle finger and your finished with your easy Easter design!

Lace nails
This design looks intricate, but it is very simple.
What you will need:
Pink nail polish
Black crackle paint
Black nail art paint
Toothpick
Start by painting your nails pink (or any base color, I have used purple with this design also and it turned out just as pretty). Then paint one diagonal line of crackle paint across your nail. On either side of the crackle paint two black lines. Now with your toothpick start making semi-circles on both of the lines you just painted on either side of the crackle. Once you have done this wait for it to dry and apply a top coat. Finally, you have your intricate yet simple design.

Background color (I used purple)

Paint all of your nails light blue. Starting with your pinkie paint where the half moon of your nail would be the nude color. Then dip your toothpick in the coral nail polish and start shaping coral. Now on your ring finger paint two thirds (from the bottom up) dark blue and use your black nail polish to make the fin of a shark come out of the ocean. Then on your middle finger, with your light pink nail polish, make three small brushes creating the jellyfish's body. Use the toothpick to paint the tentacles and dark pink spots. On your pointer finger use your dark blue and paint two circles, one bigger than the other, and paint two white lines on the sides to make the bubble look like it's glistening in the water. Finally on your thumb start like you are painting your pinkie, but leave enough room for the goldfish! Now dip the toothpick into the orange and paint on the fish. Add an eye and a mouth with the black and your done!

iPhone app nails

App nails!


This design was extremely hard! So this would be for the more advanced nail artists. This is such a creative nail idea! I get most of my ideas from nail pictures on the internet, but I'm starting to make up my own. If you have any ideas comment or if you want a tutorial for this please comment!
