Simple French Tips!( Tutorial Tuesday)

Hey Guys!! So I love the look of french tips, but I could never find the right way to do them!

I've tried the guides and they work ok I guess... you could use scotch tape, but that just makes a straight line across and then there's a way where you paint the tips and then use a brush dipped in acetone and swipe it away! But for this I used paper reinforcements to try and get a more curvy french tip.

I used...
Sorry it's not the right way...:)


- paper reinforcements
- pink hex glitter
- L.A Colors White
- Wet n Wild Topcoat
- Wet n Wild Topcoat( I don't know why it's pink, but I think it's for french manicures)

First, put the paper reinforcement on your nail. It could be as thick or as thin as you want. Try to make sure that there's no wrinkles or gaps so the white won't leak through.
Then paint the nail white. I did 2 coats. Make sure its completely dry before you pull the sticker off.
If any white did leak through just take a cotton swab dipped in polish remover and wipe it away:)

Well I could of just left it like this, but it's way to simple for me! So I added some pink hex glitter around the edge.

 I put the light pink topcoat on my bare nail then the clear over the glitter and tips.
Weird hand position... haha but I was trying to show you how the glitter reflected the light:D


 I am in LOVE with these!!! I seriously can't stop staring at them! They almost look fake!!:)

If you have any questions or ideas comment below!!

Bye Guys!!<3

Zebra + Cheetah Manicure

Hey Guys! So I found this nail design on Pinterest and when I clicked on the picture there was a tutorial, but it was a stamp and since I don't have any of those looked at the picture and figured out how to do it easily by hand!But if you have the stamps then  you could go to Google and type in Enamel Girl and find it on there:).

I used:

 -NYC French White Tip
 -Milani Diamond Dazzle
 -Maybelline Express Finish Black (sorry about the pink on the bottle)
 -Pure Ice Jaguar
 -Small Dotting Tool
 -Make-up Sponge
 -Thin brush
Start off by painting your whole nail white. I was using a fake nail for this cause I did it earlier in the week.
With the gold, paint a little section on the make-up sponge and dab it on the tip of your nail.
You might need to reapply the gold a couple times to get the color to pop out enough if you're using the same gold I am.
Then use the sparkly one and dab it on the bottom. I know the sparkles look all chunky but they really weren't haha :)
To use dotters or different brushes I usually take a sticky note, put a piece of tape on and drop a piece of nail polish on.
Using the brush dipped in black polish paint the zebra stripes. Go lightly at first and for the thicker sections push down a little harder.
With the dotter make the cheetah print. Don't drag the dotting tool on the nail just do some small dots connecting them. ( It's hard to explain that part)

When you're done put a top coat on to make them all shiny and protect the design!
