Monster Energy Drink Nail Art

So, I wanted to change my blog name. It was originially called Olivia's nail art. Olivia is my daughter's name. I wanted to be a little more creative and came up with nail polish epicness. And of course with a name change I had to change the layout. I don't really care for the one I put up, but it will have to do for now. I will mess with it later.

Anyways, it's time for a nail tutorial! I did this for my boyfriend's little step sister a few weeks ago and she loved 'em! So, I decided to re-do them on my own nails. It's the Monster Energy Drink logo. Here are the final results:




You Will Need:
A Basecoat
Black Nail Polish (with a thin brush)
Bright Green Nail Polish

Step One:
Apply a basecoat to protect your natural nail. Then apply your green nail polish. I used three coats of claire's neon green polish.

Step Two:
Draw a squiggly line like this:


Step Three:
Draw another squiggly line that looks like this:


Step Four:
Add the last squiggly line like this:


Step Five:
Add a top coat and you're done!


Hope you enjoyed this tutorial =]

Six Easy Steps To Paint Drip Nails

I was really missing my camera earlier. And was upset that I can't take quality pictures and post them to my blog. Then I remembered on my old website I did a tutorial on paint drip nails and thought since I'm not using that website anymore I would move the tutorial to my blog. And of course the tutorial is on no other than paint drip nails!

You Will Need:
Base Coat
2 colors of nailpolish (your choice)
A toothpick or paint brush

Step One:
Apply a base coat.

Step Two:
Apply 2-3 coats of blue.


Step 3:
Apply three dots on to the lower part of the nail. TIP: To do this part I used a paintbrush from the dollar store as it was easier to do the dots and lines than it would be to use the nailpolish brush.


Step 4:
Make lines from the dots going up to the tip of your nails.


Step 5:
Make a line going accross the tip of your nail.


Step 6:
Last step is to apply a top coat. And you're done!!


I really like blogging, but once again I hate that I can't deliver quality pictures for you guys. So, if anyone has a good topic for me to blog about (topic still must be nails) I would really appreciate some suggestions!!

Newspaper Nail Art

Here's a cool, easy tutorial on how you can achieve newspaper nails!! Just follow the steps below.


The above image is garfield done with newspaper comics!

You will need:
-Base Coat
-White or Gray nailpolish
-10 small pieces of newspaper
-A small container
-Rubbing Alcohol (if you do not have rubbing alcohol you can substitute with vodka or water. Just keep in mind if you use water you will need to push a down a little harder.)

Step 1: Cut out 10 small sections of newspaper. I am using the comic strips for my nails.



Step 2: Apply a base coat to protect your natural nail.

Step 2: Apply 2-3 coats of (preferably) white or gray nail polish. Wait for the nails to completely dry.


Step 4: Poor some rubbing alcohol into a small container.

Step 5: Take a strip of newspaper and dip it in the alcohol for a brief moment. Take it out and press it down on your nail. Hold the newspaper down for at least 15 seconds.




Step 6: After doing this to all your nails apply a top coat or the newspaper print will rub off.

I would like to apologize for the poor quality of pictures. I use my webcam currently to do this, but hopefully in the near future I can repost better pictures!
