Nails!

Hey! I was feeling inspired to do something fun with my nails today. I recently saw pictures of a wedding where the colors of the bridesmaid dresses were coral & turquoise, and I LOVED the combination! So I decided to try to do something like that with my nails. :)


I love polka dots, so I experimented with my DIY skills and this is what I came up with!
(TIP: Use a nail file on the ends of the toothpick to make it flat. Doing this makes it easier to make a polka dot, and the dot will be a more perfect circle.)
 


For my first design I just put the polish dots directly onto my nail. Pour a little of the polish onto a paper plate, some thick paper, wax paper, whatever works. Then dip the filed end of the toothpick into the polish, and then apply it to your nail! Easy enough, right? Put it in whatever pattern your heart desires, I focused mainly on the tips for mine. But you could definitely do it all over your nails. :)

First color

Finished product!
Add clearcoat once the polish dries. 
This one is my current favorite, I think it's a little on the summer-y side, but I love summer.. soo...;)
I painted my entire nail with the coral color (obviously..) and then used a filed toothpick to make a band of dots near the tips. I think it's cute:)
Well I hope you thought this was interesting! I had fun with it, and I hope to do more stuff like this in the future:) Feedback, please? ♥
