How to: French tip manicure

Posted by beautysmartie101 at 7:57 AM 1 comments
Hey guys today im back with a nail tutorial...so keep on reading further if you would like to know how to get perfect french tip manicures at NO COST:)
1. Give yourself a manicure, if you dont know how i posted a blogpost the other day on how to give your self a salon manicure.
2. After you have preped your nails apply on a base coat, im using maybeline salon expert base and top coat.
3. Apply on your nude colour any nude colour will do.
4. Now there is many ways you can apply your white tip and im going to share three ways with you.
- you can put a piece of clear tape on your smile line so when you apply the white nail polish it will go on top of the tape instead of on your nail which would create an unwanted design.
- You can apply on the white nail polish free hand and if you see that it doesn't look straight then simply take a brush dip it in some nail polish remover and wipe of the excess nail polish to make a straight white tip.

- If you have long nails with a long tip, then you can just take your nail polish and apply it on your natural tip. (Just follow your smile line to create more of a natural look.)

5. Apply on a top coat to prevent chipping and your finished:)


If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment.

NAIL TUTORIAL:) Bow nails

Posted by beautysmartie101 at 9:51 AM 3 comments
Hey everyone, im sorry i havent posted any thing in the past two days, but thats because i have been really busy, but im back today with a TUTORIAL .This is going to be a nail tutorial on bow nails. I've also provided some pictures. ( I OWN ALL THE PICTURES) So lets get started.



Step #1: Apply your base coat and your background colour i chose orange.








Step # 2: Take your bow colour, i chose blue, just because blue really compliments the orange and makes it POP:) Next take your dotting tool or a toothpick and make two dots on TOP of each other, to form an 8. It should look like the picture . Do this on both sides of the nail.


Step # 3: Your nail should look something like this.


Step # 4: Take a toothpick or a pin, and drag in the four circles you created in step 2 and 3. Drag them right into the center.

THIS IS YOUR FINAL LOOK:) to make it more "glamourtized" you can apply sparkles all over the nail, and apply a rhinestone right in the middle. ( If you see that black dot in the middle thats a rhinestone.) And thats it i hope you ALL enjoyed it if you have any questions just message me and be sure to become a follower on my blog, i'll see you tomorrow bye bye.:)
Love
Catherine:)

NAILS:) TIPS

Posted by beautysmartie101 at 9:05 AM 0 comments
Okay so i will be writting a post in the afternoon, this post is going to be a tutorial on NAILS:)
I am hoping that i will get this done if not i will tomorrow, i am extreemely busy.
But for now since i dont have a tutorial let's go through basic nail care!
-Apply cuticle cream to your nails every other day. (I do this.)
- Trim your nails every two weeks
-Dont use your nails as a tool
-If you have weak nails, i suggest using a nail hardener, i recommand sally hansens nail hardners.
-Use a toothpick to clean out the dirt from the insides of your nails (DO THIS EVERYDAY)
- Don't apply nail polish to your nails everyday, let your nails breath a little:)
-File your nails every week.( I prefer to file my nails in a square shape form. Make sure when you file them you dont' go back and forth just file in one direction. Filing back and forth causes your nails to break. I should know:P)

Thats it, follow these simple rules and you should have great long nails in no TIME:)

IF you have any questions please message me.

I will talk to you all later bye bye:)

love
Catherine.
