Freehand Nail Art

Feb 3, 2014 | Fashion | 0 comments

I have been using nail stickers which are cool and I am getting better at applying them straight.  They go on dry and with the addition of a top coat (Thanks for the tip Bri!) they do last a lot longer. However most of the designs are so intricate that you can tell they aren’t painted.

Yesterday I wanted to try some nail art on my own. I tried some ideas but they didn’t work as I thought (basically sponging one color over another).  I then searched YouTube and found this helpful video: http://youtu.be/eFtkkiV8HrI

This is my first attempt at freehand nail art. My right hand isn’t as good as my left due to my right-handedness, but overall for a first attempt I think its pretty good. I am excited to try more things in the future and I will post when I do.

Found these at the Mariano’s and thought I would try them.  They went on easy, but didn’t stick for more than a day.  I also didn’t like the length – the package said “short length” but they were actually really long. I cut them down (you can see them below) and they work a lot better.

I have another pair and I think I will use nail glue and cut them down – hopefully they will last longer. However if I didn’t have that other pair, I wouldn’t use these again and instead go back to the stickers.  Those seem to last longer and are still easy to use.
