Camouflage Nails

One day while staring at my husbands lighter which he has had for years. I thought how cool it would be to do camo nails. Now I know that this is not a new idea or design and that there are many other designs of camo nail art around.

As for me I have always been a huge fan of camo. I know that many people may not agree with this but, we are all entitled to our opinion. So without further ado here is my nail art creation.
I used a base color from Spoiled by Wet n' Wild in the color I only eat salads. Then the rest of the colors were done with acrylic paint by craft smart sold at Michael's. Using a dotting tool I applied the dark green, dark brown, and black color in random patterns overlapping to make the design look more authentic. After this dried I applied two coats of NYC's Matte me Crazy Mattifying Top Coat.
If you wanted you can also use a shiny top coat or even a slight glittery top coat as well. The sky's the limit when doing any nail design. If you have any design requests please let me know by leaving a comment below thanks. I will be trying to post more nail designs as this is something I love doing.
I will also be doing a pink camo design as well for us girly girls.

St. Patrick's Day Nail Art Tutorial

 I will show you step by step how to achieve this cute nail design for St. Patrick's Day. The following picture will show all the items used to create this.
Sally Hansen Insta-Grip Fast Dry Base Coat, Sally Hansen Xtreme in 110 Green with Envy, Sinful Colors in Call you Later, Kiss Nail Art Striper in Gold Glitter, Craft smart Acrylic paint in the colors Black and White and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top coat.
Apply two coats of the Xreme wear in 110 Green with Envy over a base coat.
Then apply one coat of Sinful Colors in Call you Later.
Then using the black acrylic paint make a stripe over the nail.
Then using the white acrylic paint make a square over the black stripe let dry.
After that dries then using the Kiss striper in Gold glitter paint around the white with several coats till it covers all the white parts.  Then using a q-tip clean any areas of polish that may have gotten on the edges. Then make sure it's totally dry before the last step which is applying the top coat.
Now you are done. What cute nails to wear to a party or just out. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
