Adorable Pink Circus Nails

Well..I have been watching videos from dollface22772 and i saw her video on how to make nail stencils named "How to make nail art stencils" and i was scampering around my house trying to find painters tape and decorative siccors to do this design. All you need is a nail polish color, acrylic paint that is the same color but much lighter, a thin paint brush and of course a base coat and top coat. First what you do is take a long strip of painters tape and cut 10 small pieces, what you wanna do at this point is put the end of the tape in the middle of your nail on the side of the pattern you would like, because if you do a scallop, like mine, you can have a design like wave or a little, adorable bumpy line, but holding your hand out on a table normally you put the wave pattern facing the tip of your nail to make the bump, if you do it the other way you will get a wave, once you have that on you can push it on so its flat all over your nail so the polish doesn't leek under the tape . Once its done you paint all the part of the nail that's naked with the polish you picked out. Then you can peel off the tape and let it dry. Now out line the top of the shape like in the picture with the acrylic paint and the thin paint brush. Once your done that you can add some lines, and that's it! This is a really simple design to do and it takes no time!

This is the hot pink polish i used, i probably have over 100 of these colors but i know I'm missing much more because deez nails has so meny i don't have, this color is really matte like alot of there neon's, if you don't like that look, you can just add a top coat to get that weird dry look away! The color I'm using is called Fuchsia, i have a ton of colors that look almost the same to this one so ill show you that later!




This is the acrylic paint i used, i like using acrylic paints for thin lines, because at the beginning of this year i thought you could use nail polish on brushes, i was completely wrong, and from watching so many YouTube videos i found out that you can just use acrylic paint, and at my dollar store they have a ton of colors for only a $1.25 C., so bought a couple of colors, and one huge thing that made me wanna get these even more was the fact that they had names, i love polishes, acrylics, and everything that has names, i even named my own nail sparkles. :) So back on topic this ones name is Cotton Candy :) yummy! and this stuff drys matte to so you can just put a top coat on top. This is really good for the dollar store, it works!



This is the brush i used from apple barrel, i got this in a pack of 10 thin, professional brushes for $3.45 C., which is such an amazing price that i might have to add it in a contest one day:) So for cleaning these you don't need any special liquid all you need is WATER! That's right water just pour it strait out of the tape, just like when you were 6 :) These brushes have given me no trouble at all what so ever they seem really sturdy.
