Hi everyone!
Today I want to show you how you can make whatever motives
you want on your nails, without the need to paint them. The end result is
always stunning :)
Advice: according
to your outfit, rings or just your mood,
search in Google Images for suitable motives. The best choice for Nail Art are the
‘flourishes’, ‘swirls’ or ‘lace stamps’. So just choose your motives and print them
very small (depending on your nail size). The ones I use in my examples are here

and here http://store.scrapbookbasics.net/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=76
. You don’t need any experience, steady hand or lots of time. Have fun :)
Step by Step Tutorial
Products:
- Nail Polish for the background: white (because we print
our motives on white sheets)
- To seal the design: Top Coat / glitter polish (it will hide all
eventual traces of the paper)
- Additional tools: tweezers, scissors, glass of water,
printed motives, dotting tool to place rhinestones
Design:
1. Polish all nails with white polish. Let them dry.
2. Incise most accurate the motives you will use. Place them
in the water for 3-4 min. to make them soft enough.
3. Using tweezers place the motives on a desired place over the
nails. Press them well with your fingers, so that they stick to your nails. If
the motives are bigger than your nails, just cut out the excess parts a little
bit shorter than needed in order to avoid liftings.
4. You can decorate your nails with rhinestones, pearls, dots,
etc.
5. Apply a top coat! This is very important in order to seal
the motives on place.
DONE!
Use your imagination and create great nail designs, with no need
to buy self-adhesive motives, or pain them by hand. Using this method you can
have great and professional looking nails with a minimum effort :)
