For Odin and For Nail Art! Viking Runes

Hello my lovely followers. I don't need to explain why I haven't posted anything in so long you already know. I just had the best idea for a nail art design and found some time today to paint it. I had left my nails grow like claws and I filed them and gave them some love. And theeeen! I just painted and disconnected from the world.

Some of you all might know about my TV show addiction. So Vikings is one of the ones I watch, and truely love. Do you watch the show too? Today I though that Viking runes would make a terrific design and I went for it.

Turquoise Stone Nail Art

Hello guys! I'm back with a remake of an old design of mine. You might remember it from when I did the June Challenge last year. I decided it was time to take another try at the saran wrap techinique and as the last time I did it it turned out pretty well I decided to do the same.

I followed more or less the same steps as the last tim. I have a tutorial on this design if you want to check it out. Continue reading to know how to get a more realistic effect.

Turquoise Stone Effect Tutorial (Saran Wrap)

Hi again! I've had some requests on my instagram on how I did my turquoise stone effect nails. It's pretty easy so I decided to make a quick tutorial so you can do them yourselves.

Things you will need:
-  Saran Wrap or any kind of plastic wraping paper
-  Nail polish
-  Thin brush or a toothpick

1. Paint your nails with a turquoise blue and wait until it's totally dry.

2. Get the saran wrap and cut it into little pieces. Scrunch it and apply some polish on it. Not much you can tap it on a piece of paper to remove the excess polish. Dab it onto your nail just a little bit.

3. Using a thin brush or a toothpick and some gold polish create little spots they don't have to be perfect they have to look like stains on a stone.

4. Add a top coat and taadaa! You are done, you have turquoise effect nail design.

I hope this tutorial is useful and you try this yourselves. Don't forget to tweet me or tag me on instagram if you try them. I would love to see your versions of this cute design. If  you have any questions comment or email me at thenailartshow@gmai.com. Happy polishing!

June Nail Art Challenge – Day 10: Saran Wrap (Turquoise Stone Effect)

Hey guys! Today's theme for the June Nail Art Challenge was saran wrap. I had never done this technique before, but hey this is what challenges are for right? Trying new things, new designs, lots of inspiration...

Lately I've been seeing around lots of designs that use water spotting techniques to recreate this stone effect look. As you know I'm terrible with water and polish, just look at my last watermarble, but I really liked the idea. I thought I could achieve a similar effect with saran wrap. And I think I did.

I really like how they turned out. I seems I have left my nail fails behind. What do you think? I think it's an alternative to using water for the stone effect. Okay it doesn't look that realistic but if I use water I would probably make a bigger mess than I could ever make with saran wrap method. They actually look better in person.

I hoped you liked this new design for the June nail art challenge. Share this with your friends if you like it and comment if you have any questions. Happy polishing!
