Ice Cream Owl Nails

by melanie

This was one of my most fun nail arts. This was my first time using acrylic paint on nails. I painted my nails white first with regular nail polish then I painted on them with acrylic paint and topped it with a clear coat of nail polish. I think it turned out good and very bright. Acrylic paint is a lot easier to use then nail polish. I watched two you tube videos by cutepolish to figure out what to do and how.

Chocolate Sauce & Sprinkles Nail Art

I used both of these videos to come up with my design. You can always change the colors to suit you better. I seen youtube videos where they used acrylic paint and now i know why they use acrylic paint. When you use brushes nail polish is really hard to get off and nail polish remover can ruin the handles but with acrylic paint you can get it out with water and no brushes ruined. Just remember the top coat  it is sad when you forget and all your hard work disappears in a second. Remember always use a top coat. 

Hair spray and nail art

this was a fun DIY. first you paint your nails with any nail polish. next you sharpie your nails. any design will do. then spray it with hair spray let it dry the dryer the better and lastly you just put a top coat on. it made it so easy to design using the sharpies. the hairspray I did not like using because afterward your nails smelled like hairspray for a little while. I think I was a little to impatient because mine smeared a little but no enough to bother me and it gave it a little more of the animal fur look to it.

Half & Half

By Melanie Sanchez

I love this nail design. I just painted all my nails half with one color and half with another color. I love it. I just think of them as my to faced nail. I am really loving the copper nail polishes right now and I like the copper paired with the red but I really cant take credit for this color combination because I bought a Revlon nail polish with these colors on both sides.

Studs

by Melanie Sanchez

nail art studs are an easy way to vamp up you nails. there are many different designs and colors of studs. there easy to stick on and they stay on your nails for a long time. the only problem is if you chose colored studs like the ones that were on my nails is that after some wear and tare the color comes of little by little.

Nail Biting

This video showed 5 ways to stop biting your nails. I  used the first method but instead of using a type of polish I used nail polish remover you still get the bad taste that discourages you from biting your nails. The polish would be better because you wouldn't have to reapply it at much as if you used nail polish remover. You just have to find the right trick for you and you can stop biting your nails to.
