DIY Nails: Simply Fall, Simply Plaid

It's not winter just yet so I am still rocking fall themed nails. I've noticed the popular nail polish trend of nudes, browns, and other dark shades so I had to try out for this week's mani. However, I can never stick to simple nail polish so I decided to try out a very simple plaid design accented with cheetah print on my ring finger nail. All I used to create this nail look is Schnapps Out Of It by O.P.I., a brown nail polish, a black nail striper, red nail polish, and a nail art brush.

1. Begin with clean nails and coat them with a clear base coat.
2. Add 1-2 coats of Schnapps Out Of It by O.P.I, or any other bright brown color to your nails.
3. Take your second brown nail polish and stripe one line vertically or horizontally across each nail. Skip your ring finger if you want the accent nail!
4. Take your black nail striper and create one vertical line next to the brown stripe as well as one stripe horizontally across the nail.
5. Dip your nail brush into some red nail polish and add a red stripe horizontally or vertically across each nail.
6. Create a cheetah print design on your ring finger by making jagged C-shapes with your black nail striper brush.
7. Let your nails dry, then add a clear top coat on top of your nails.

This look is totally appropriate for the season! Plus you can switch up the stripe and color patterns to make the nail look all your own. Let me know in the comments below if you try out the nail look!

DIY Nails: Nail Art Tools

Nail Art Tools

Nail art and designs are continuously becoming popular and more people are trying to get different nail looks at home, however you need a few tools to get everything just right. The best way to start achieving these new designs is to use nail art brushes and dotting tools, it makes everything so much easier and looks a lot better! I only have one nail art brushes that also has a dotting tool side and it is enough for me to complete any designs as long as I keep it clean! Nail art brushes are the same as art brushes so you don't have to hunt for particular brands since everything works almost the same! Using brushes and dotting tools will help your nail art look amazing and save you from spending on multiple nail decos and stickers.

Alert: I'm In Seventeen Magazine!!

I am majorly, extremely, off the walls excited! I received my June issuse of Seventeen magazine yesterday and as I flipped through I saw my nail design. I was super surprised because I didn't know my nails would be featured for the #YOLO article and when I saw it I immediately pulled out my phone to compare the hands. They were an identical match! Ahhh! I am just soooo happy, even if it is just my hand, I always knew my nail designs would be featured somewhere! I have 100% faith that next time it will definitely be a full body and maybe even an article! A little dream of mine is to be in the Seventeen Magaine style council and even one day have my own fashion and beauty magazine! What are some of your dreams or goals? Be sure to take a look at page 148 to see the picture of my YOLO nails!
