Lightning Tutorial

Hey guys! I can't keep my promisses and at this rythm november won't be as active as I wanted it to be. While I finish my next design which is taking me more than two hours to get done I'm posting this tutorial some of you have asked for. The lightning design which you can totally wear anytime and in fact isn't that difficult!

1. Paint your nails a base color, it can either be dark blue or even black.
2. Sponge a lighter blue making some path for the lightning to follow, this will create the effect that the lightning is actually illuminating your nail. I also added some darker blue to make some shades. It's better to use little pieces of spong and apply the color with tweezers.
3. Spong some dark pink or purple on random spots just to give the design some color
4. From the base of the nail to the tip create a line with white or light yellow. It has to be irregular so you don't need steady hands for this.
5. From the original line make one or two more in different directions. Remember to make them edgy like lightnings.
6. Apply top coat and you are ready to rock your nails.

These are the colors I used but you can try different combinations, purple base, black base and sponging with ligher colors. The possibilities are infinite!

I hope to see you try these out. If you do please let me know I would love to see your work, if you have an instagram just tag #thenailartshow or just put the link on the comments below so I can check them out! Happy polishing and keep tuned for my next design COMING SOON!

31 Day Challenge – Day 22: Inspired By A Song (Lightning Strikes - Aerosmith)

Hey guys! Have you missed me? It's time for a new design for the 31 day challenge. I'm slowly getting closer to the end of this challenge but I'm having so much fun. So today's theme was ''inspired by a song'' and of course I chose an Aerosmith song ''Lightnint Strikes'' from the album ''Rock In A Hard Place''.

I didn't quite know what to do, I just knew I wanted it to be an Aerosmith song, and the other day I was listening to this album and I thought it would make a great nail design. I guess not many people know this song by Aerosmith, as it's part of their least known album, so if you want you can listen to it here.

For the background I used different blues and a pink to give it some contrast and as my white polish has runned out I did the lightenings with a pastel yellow polish. These are the colors I used:

I hope you listen and enjoy this song as much as the nail design. I'm already planning a tutorial on this design so keep tunned. Happy polishing!

June Nail Art Challenge – Day 24: Simple (When The Lightning Strikes)

Hey guys! Today's design is a new one for nail art June challenge. Today I've started my new job, I take care of kids in the afternoon so I'll have to start diong my nails in the mornings.

Today's theme was ''simple'' so I just did bolt shapes over the best orange ever! They were quick and easy. I really like how this color looks with black!

At first I wanted to do like a Bowie related mani, because I wanted to add some colors to the bolts but that would end up being quite complex. At the end I just did the bolts with black over this amazing orange. This polish is ''Flashy Pumpkin'' by Essence, and well the name says it all right?

I hope you liked this simple mani, you can really try this one out it's simple and easy to do. But you need a thin brush or striper to do this, you can also check some other DIY in my tutorials page. Feel free to ask me anything. Happy polishing and have a lovely week!
