Handy Dandy Designs


Hi Readers, 
As some of you may know, I'm a total nail polish FANATIC! I have a very creative edge to my personality and as a result I constantly love to come up with new ideas and patterns. Today, I'm going to give you a tutorial on how to do three types of groovy nail designs. Tie Dye, Smiley Face and Cheetah Print.


Tie-Dye- This design is a fun look, especially in the Summer. It makes you feel fearless!  Here's the things you need to get this look! red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple nail polish, and a toothpick.

1. First, use a red nail polish and draw a dot in the bottom right corner of your nail
2. Next, draw a curved line around that red dot.
3. Continuously do that with the other colors of the rainbow.(Green, Blue, Purple)
 4. Lastly, use a toothpick to spread the colors in straight lines starting the right side of your nail.
* If you want your tie dye to be a bit brighter add some sparkle nail polish over it.




Smiley face- This look is great for whenever you need to get happy. This design is very simple and easy to do. The only things you'll need is yellow nail polish, a black nail art brush and a toothpick.

1. First, paint all your nails yellow.
2. Then, dip your toothpick in black nail polish and add dots for the eyes.
3. Next, make a curved line for the smile.
4. Finally, to make a smoother surface add clear polish on top when your nails are dry.



Cheetah Print-
This look is fun for whenever. It's definetly fun walking around town with Cheetah Print on your nails! To get this look you'll need pink nail polish, black and white nail art brush and clear nail polish.

1. First, paint all your nails pink or whatever base coat you want.
2. Next, use a black nail art brush to make lots of cheetah prints on your nails. To make a cheetah print, you'll want to make lots of full circles, half circles and some random lines surrounding them.
3. After, use some clear polish to make your nails nice and smooth!





I hope this gave you some brand- new nail designs to try at home!
Happy Reading!
