Welcome to my nail blog. I am not a professional, but I love to paint my nails. Many of the designs I use are designs I found in searches and decided to try myself. I have gotten better over the years, but am still perfecting my techniques.

Rose Gold Stars
This is one of my favorites mostly because of the colors. I am infatuated with all things rose gold right now! My ring finger is done with star sequins. I always top sequined nails with a layer of acrylic to keep the sequins from chipping off.
Dotted Line
This design takes a small dotting tool and a steady hand. You can't really tell in the picture but I used two different colors of polish on each nail. It's pink on one side on each dotted line and gray on the other. However, I chose two very light and sheer shades that you can barely tell the difference.
Silver Stripes
This is an easy design made with striping tape. First I painted my nails silver. Then, I placed the striping tape to make designs on each nail. Next, I used black polish over the striping tape. Last, I pulled the tape off. The trick is to stripe all your nails at the same time after you base color dries because it's hard to handle the tape when your nails are wet. Also, paint one hand from pinky to thumb, then pull of the strips off tape from pinky to thumb. Then, do the other hand in the same way. The key is to let the polish dry a little before pulling the tape off, but you can't let it dry too much.
