3 Spring-Inspired Manicure!!!

Hey Everyone!

I have found out 3-inspired SPRING-look manicure which you can try out.

SPRING-INSPIRED NAIL - HEARTBEAT

Supplies:
- Yves Saint Laurent La Laque Couture in Corail Colisee
- Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer in Porcelain Party
- Small nail brush
- Top coat

Directions:
1) Apply base coat and two coats of red nail polish. Allow to dry.
2) Dip your nail brush into white polish and carefully start painting the lines. Begin with a short dash on either side of the nail to ensure the ends will match up evenly.
3) Continue to create the spikes and dips of your heartbeat until you've connected the two dashes.
4) Apply top coat and allow nails to dry.

SPRING-INSPIRED NAIL - ROMANTIC ROSEBUDS

 Supplies:

- Toothpick
- essie Bikini So Teeny
- essie Style Hunter
- essie Resort Fling
- essie Shake Your $$ Maker

Directions:
1) For your base, paint two coats of a sky blue nail polish like essie Bikini So Teeny.
2) Take a red nail polish (we used essie Style Hunter) and create dots of varying sizes all over your nail. They don’t have to be perfect — in fact, the less perfect the edges, the more flower-like they will appear.
3) Pour a small amount of peach nail polish like essie Resort Fling onto a piece of paper. Taking your toothpick, dab it in the color and use it to draw two squiggles over each red dot. This creates texture and will give your rosebuds its “petals.”
4) Pour a small amount of green nail polish (we used essie Shake Your $$ Maker) onto a piece of paper and dab the other end of your toothpick in it to pick up the color. Draw two small triangular shapes on the sides of each of your rosebuds. These are your leaves.

SPRING-INSPIRED NAIL - MOTHER OF PEARL

Supplies:

- essie Blanc
- Giorgio Armani Nail Lacquer in 702
- L’Oréal Colour Riche Nail in Taste of Romance
- Lancôme Vernis in Love in 545
- Lancôme Vernis in Love in 521
- L’Oréal Paris The Magic Top Coats in The Shift Me

Directions:
1) Apply two coats of white nail polish. This will be your base and allow the hints of color you’ll add to pop on the nail.
2) Place a small drop of iridescent nail polish (here we used Giorgio Armani Nail Lacquer in 702) onto a plate. Then wet an art brush with nail polish remover and mix with the nail polish. This will thin the polish and give it a transparent look on the nail. Taking the brush, dab lightly across the nail in no particular pattern – cover as much of the nail as you like. We suggest using a non-acetone remover on these steps to prevent your base color from lifting.
3) Using your next shade, we started with pink, repeat the process of mixing a droplet of nail polish with nail polish remover. Remeber, you only need a drop or two. Then dab the pink across your nail. This time only covering a few spots.
4) Repeat step 3 with the blue nail polish, sparingly dabbing the polish in select areas of the nail.
Since mother of pearl tends to show more green when inside a shell, repeat step 4 with the teal nail polish. This time make it slightly darker and covering more of the nail. Let dry.
5) Apply an iridescent top coat with a slight halo effect. We chose L’Oréal Magic Top Coat for this look. The top coat will seal your Mother of Pearl manicure and allow you to gaze in awe for hours at your tips.
