Show Me Your Nail Art!!

My sister asked for Kingler (from Pokemon) on her nails, so I just scribbled this very quickly for her! Go, geeky sisters!
The base is one coat of Models Own - Indian Ocean, the orange is Collection 2000 - Hip Hop, the black is a Models Own nail art pen.

That's really cute!!

My first ever glitter gradient. Not sure if I love it but trying to not obsess and just enjoy a bit of sparkle. Some new colours arrive in a week so I'm sure it'll only last til then

This is absolutely stunning! I looove it! May I ask what kind of acrylic paint and brushes you used for that?

It looks pretty, soft yet elegant enough for bridal nails.

Thank you very much!!! :'D I use whatever small brushes I can get my hands on (usually from the Dollar Bin or Wal-Mart). I recently purchased a size 5 0 brush from Michaels and I love it!! : D I usually trim my own brushes and always use synthetic hairs (I find some other ones will lose hairs while you are painting and that sucks >.<). I also use really inexpensive acrylics from the dollar store and Michael's, provided they are non-toxic. I want to get some more expensive acrylic paints which would have more pigment in them, but for now these ones work fine. : D

They are pretty simple. Just buy some blank decal paper like this one here and print out the image you want on it.

Use photo editing software to get the image the right size and always print a test sheet on regular paper to make sure it looks how you want it to.

You don't have to, but it's best to spray the decal with a coat of acrylic finishing spray to protect the design.

Then just cut it out and apply it to your nail.
