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.

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.

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!

Cheetah Print Nails

My friend loved the cheetah print from my animal print nail design, so she told me I had to paint her nails all cheetah print!
The instructions on how to do this are in the animal print nail design the only difference is you paint all of your nails.

Pig and Cow Nail Designs

Pig and Cow Nails
Pig Design
What you will need:
Light pink polish
Hot pink polish
Black nail art polish
Toothpick

My friend told me to do cows on one hand and pigs on the other, so I did! She was so excited when I came to school and showed her my nails! Another thing you could do with this is add different farm animals like a horse or little chicks to one hand. I hope you like this as much as my friend does!

First paint all of your nails light pink. On your thumb and ring finger use your toothpick and paint polka dots evenly on your nail (for this step I find it easier to put a little polish on a piece of paper and dip the toothpick in that). Then take your hot pink polish and paint a semi-circle at the tip of your pinkie, middle, and pointer finger nails. Then paint two strokes for the ears leaving space for the eyes. Lastly, use your black nail art polish and paint on the two eyes and two lines for the nostrils. And your done!

Cow Design
What you will need:
White polish
Light Pink polish
Black nail art polish

Start by painting your nails white. Then use the black nail art polish to paint cow print on every nail but the thumb. To do this use the tip of your brush to make a dot and keep dotting until you get the shape of a cow spot. Make the spots as big or as small as you want and put as many or as few as you want on there! Now on your thumbnail paint a light pink semi-circle at the tip of the nail. Then use your black to create spots on either side of the nail (black deformed semi-circles) and above the nose on either side two small cow spots. All that's left are the eyes, use your black nail art brush and paint two dots in the center of the nail. Now put a top coat on to keep the shine and your done!




Tribal Nail Design


This is my insperation. I love this design! I know mine isn't as neat
but I will keep practicing!






Tribal Nails
What you will need:
Light Brown/Tan nail polish
White nail polish and white nail art polish
Gold nail polish w/ sparkles
Black nail art polish
Toothpick

I am obsessed with anything tribal print! So when I saw this design online I just had to try it! This design takes a while to do so make sure you leave enough time to finish. I painted mine late at night and got too tired to paint both hands :). I hope it will be an easy design and one you can wear everyday! It's perfect if you're obsessed with tribal print like me!


First paint the base coat (thumb and middle finger light brown, pointer finger and pinkie white, and ring finger gold). On your pinkie paint three black lines, then alternate diagonal lines to make a zigzag pattern. Next on your middle finger paint a white line down the middle and on the left side of the line make a black zigzag. To the right of the line paint a gold line then a black line. There should be one stripe of light brown when you finish. Then on your pointer finger paint two lines. To the very left paint three diagonal lines(make them small) then paint three diagonals going the other direction and so on until you get to the top of your nail. Last for the tricky part, the thumb. Leave enough space at the bottom so you can paint a zigzag (I know a lot of zigzags!) and paint a gold line then a white line. Next leave a little more space above the white line and paint a thin black line, a thicker white line, and a thin black line. Go back to the bottom and paint a black zigzag and use a toothpick to paint white polka dots on the outside of the zigzag. In the other space you skipped at the top paint black diagonal lines. Now for the last part! Paint a wavy line in the white closest to the top of your thumb and take a toothpick and paint black dots on the outside of the wave. Your done! All that's left is a top coat to keep the design looking shiny!
