Nail Art Tutorial – How To Make ‘Fresh & Colorful’ Nail Design


Hello everyone!

In my first tutorial I want to share with you one very colorful, fresh and fun nail design. It is perfect for the hot summer, when everything is so fresh and beautiful, but also for the white winter – to make it fun and decorated :)

Fresh & Colorful

Advise: make sure you have lots of free time, patience and good mood. Play your favorite music and – Action! :) Depending on the drying speed of your products and your skills, the design may take you up to 1:30 – 2 hours.

Step by Step Tutorial

Products:

- Nail Polishes for the background: yellow, orange, light blue, dark blue, purple, light green
- Nail Polishes to mute down the background colors: silver and transparent glitter
- Nail Polishes for decoration: white, black, red, dark green
- Additional tools: dotting tool, small sponge, cotton pad, napkin

Materials
Design:

1. Apply white polish on all nails and wait for it to dry completely. The white background ensures that all the colors we will use will be bright and saturated from the first coat on.
This step is optional. If you skip it you’ll probably need to apply at least two coats of each of the colors we’re going to use next.


2. Take 5-6 bright and fresh colors of your choice to make the background of our design. Apply these randomly with different patterns over all your nails. I made a side swipe over the tips of my nail using different colors (but same for the same fingers on both hands). Don’t be afraid to mess up something, because each nail will be unique and different from the others. Whatever you do it will definitely look stunning at the end.


3. Mute down the colors using a silver nail polish and a small sponge. For this step you can also use gold polish. 
This step is also optional, but it helps the colors to blend in better and insures that the following decoration pops up better.


4. Polish all nails with transparent polish with silver, gold or colored glitters in it. Wait for the nails to dry completely.


5. Decorate your design with colorful dots using a dotting tool. First make randomly big white spots over the nails. Make small white dotted circles around some of them. Don’t forget to clean your dotting tool after the use of each colors. Make small black dots in some of the big white dots and also randomly around your nails. Continue making small red and dark green dots. If you want you can also place some stones or glitters on. You decide what and how many decorations to add on your creation. When you’re done, wait for the whole design to dry very good.


6. Apply top coat. Use drying liquid to speed up the drying process.

DONE!




I really hope you gonna like this Fresh & Colorful design and will give it a try! You may use it on the whole nails, or just on the French tips – whatever you’re up to. For sure, you’ll get a lot of compliments :)

Greetz!
