Hi everyone! This is my first post on blogger ever! So anyways, my plan for this blog is to teach cute nail designs that cost very little. A few weeks ago I decided to buy 72 bottles of nail polish, so now I have to use them all. This picture is all the bottles I bought. If you're interested, they cost $42 and the shipping is free.



They are pretty good quality for the price (58 cents a bottle!!!) so I highly recommend them to anyone who needs some new nail polish! For my first lesson, I will teach you how to do a VERY simple french manicure, with a little twist. Here are the products I used:



The very first thing I did was just to remove all of my nail polish and wash my hands thoroughly. That will remove all oils from your hands so you'll have a better manicure. Then apply a base coat. *** This is very important to do because if you continuously not use a base coat your nails will turn yellow** It is also important because it prolongs the manicure. I use Sally Hansen Nail Quencher (it's a blue bottle :)



After you apply that, I then use two coats of a sheer pink on ALL of my french manicures. The one I used today was Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Sheer Strawberry.



After that I apply the tips. I didn't post any pictures of me actually painting the tips, however I wasn't sure if anyone would need to know how to. I just free lance it; to me its very simple. However many people use little strips to help them with their manicure. After I applied all of the colors of tips, I just added a little silver line underneath them. **Sometimes, if I mess up the tips, the silver line helps to hide it. It works lovely and it looks soo pretty so I highly suggest it :)



Next is the dots. This is VERY easy to do. Many people use something called a dotting tool, however it is not needed. They are sold on eBay for not too much money, but how I do it is just the same. All I use is a toothpick and some white nail polish. I use Sally Hansen Hard As Nails White Tip for the dots. Just dip the toothpick in the polish and practice on a sticky note a few times and you should be fine :)



Now when your finished with that, just put on a top coat. I HIGHLY advise you to use a top coat- it prevents chipping and gives your nails a salon shine. I use Sally Hansen Insta-Dry. Its a red bottle and it dries ANY nail color in 30 seconds and when I say that I'm not joking. It works like magic :)


Anyways, thanks so much for viewing! I will have a new post up around every three days or so, and if you have any requests for nails or questions please feel free to email me at : msxunderstood221@aim.com
