One Direction and Pig nails


1D nails
A lot of people are obsessed with 1D so I just had to do 1D nails! And perfect timing too, one of my friends is going to their concert this week so she wanted me to do her nails. No tutorial on this one but if you want one please comment! On the pinkie is the Irish flag (Nial), on the ring finger is suspenders (Louis), on the middle finger is the British flag (everyone except Nial I guess), on the pointer finger is a mustache (I'm not really sure I'm not the biggest 1D fan), and on the thumb 1D. I hope you like it even if your not a 1D fan!

This little piggie...
I know I have already done pigs but these pigs are different from the other design and so much cuter! The french manicure gives the design a classier look than if all of the nails were painted solid and the pigs are just adorable!
What you will need:
Base coat color polish
Black nail polish
Black nail art polish
White nail art polish
Toothpick

First paint your thumb and ring finger your base color. Then on your other three fingers paint just the tip the same color as your thumb and pointer fingers. Next on your thumb and pointer finger paint a semi-circle facing the corner of your nail so it looks like the pig is peaking over the edge. Now with you black nail art brush (if you don't have one of these you can use a toothpick) paint two rounded triangles on the top of the head (semi-circle) for ears. After that dip your toothpick in the white polish and dot on the eyes and nose. After the white circles for the eyes dot a smaller black dot then another white dot. For the nose use your toothpick and dot two black circles in the center. Finally with your toothpick dot scattered white dots on all of your nails. Finish with a topcoat and you have a beautiful design that's worth showing the world!

Cookie Monster nails

Cookie Monster
This design is perfect for little kids or the sesame street lovers out there!

What you will need:
Blue nail polish
Light brown or nude nail polish
Dark brown nail polish
White nail polish
Black nail polish
Toothpick

Start by painting your big toe blue and the rest of your nails the light brown/nude color. Next on your little toes use your dark brown to paint "chocolate chips" by dotting the brush on the nail for the desired shape. Now on your big toe take the toothpick and dip it in white nail polish, paint two large circles in the middle of the toe nail and add black dots looking in different directions. for the mouth you can either use a toothpick or a nail art brush. If using the nail art brush or a toothpick, paint a straight horizontal line and a curved line connecting the two corners and color in the semi-circle. Repeat on other foot/hand, add a top coat, and your done!

Rose nails

Roses
This is another way you can paint your nails with roses without having to paint every nail the rose pattern. It saves time and gives an interesting look to the design!

I already have a tutorial for roses so look at that and paint your pointer and ring finger a different color and add stripes! I hope you like my nails and I'll keep more designs coming!
