NAIL ART: So Easy A Bunny Could Do It.

 This week we breakdown one of our FAVorite nail designs, the Half Moon.  It's a fairly simple design & a perfect gateway design to your nail art addiction.  We encourage you to try & share your pictures with us (email somegirlsbtq@gmail.com). Also anyone wearing our weekly feature while shopping with us will enjoy 15% off their entire purchase!!!! 

As always there are a few "PRE PAINTING" steps needed to maintain your cuticles & ensure a BOMB mobile upload.


SUPPLIES NEEDED: 

·      cotton balls & nail polish remover & small eye liner brush to "clean edges"
·      nail file
·      cuticle oil
·      cuticle pusher backer 
·      cuticle cutter
·      1 nail color & 2 precision brush nail colors
·      base coat & top coat



Step 1. Remove old nail polish.
Step 2. File nails.
Now that we have well shaped & clean nails its time touch up our cuticles.
Step 3. Drench your cuticles in cuticle oil, allow time to let them soften.
Step 4. Use nail pusher backer to push back cuticles. 
Step 5. BE VERY CAREFUL & use cuticle cutter to remove excess cuticles.
Wash your hands & lets get ready to paint.
Step 6. Apply base coat to all nails.
Step 7. We choose China Glaze “Flip Flop Fantasy” for the base color. Apply 2 coats.
Step 8. Use your main precision brush color to make an outline of half moon. Don’t worry if you get polish on your fingers, we will clean edges later, just try to make smooth lines.
Step 9. Once you have a good outline go back & fill in. This step is made easier with clean cuticles. Do for each nail.

Step 10. Once your Half Moons are complete on both hands…make sure to clean your edges. Some Girl TIP pour out nail polish remover in cap & dunk small eyeliner brush & pretend you are a famous painter, makes you really wanna do them perfectly.
Step 11. Use secondary precision color to make detail outline. If you were feeling super fancy try gluing charms to the outline. #onehopattime.
Step 12. Apply top coat & let dry. & Remember to use a little cuticle oil to moisturize before your mobile upload.


Have fun trying these nails!!!!
 Hope you HOP in & show us  your nails this week. & Don't forget to send us your pictures please!!! Sometimes it’s the little things. Remember to do the things that make you happy. & stay tuned for next weeks nails!!!!
