Sparkly Watermelon Nail Tutorial

It's been so long since I've shared a nail tutorial and I'm super excited about this one. I've been feeling the summer vibes and tried a pineapple nail recently. It was so much fun that I decided to do watermelon nails next. Oh and if you're going to have fun summer nails, then glitter should be involved. So here I give you sparkly watermelon nails!!!!

 You will need a red or pink glitter polish, green polish, pink polish, and a black nail art pen.

1. Start with a pink base.

 2. Add a swipe of green on your tips.

 3. Add red glitter to make your nails sparkly!

 4. Draw 3 small dashes to create a seed look.

Top with your favorite top coat and your all done!

Nail Tutorial // Valentine's Day

 Okay, please tell me that I'm not the only one with Valentine's day already on my mind? I'm just one of those girls that gets really excited about all the pink overload and super cute hearts on everything. Which is why I thought we could all use a nail tutorial with a super cute heart...your welcome :)

1. Start by painting your nails with a pretty pink and one accent nail with white.

2. Take a black nail art pen and make thin stripes across the white accent nail.

3. Use a ball point nail tool to form the shape of a heart.

4. Once the heart is completely dry, trace in black with the nail art pen.

5. Let nails dry and top with a clear coat.

Nail Tutorial // Two Toned Holiday Nails

 Hey everyone, are you all excited about the upcoming holidays as much as I am? Everything I do pretty much involves sequins, glitter, or any kind of sparkle these days. I recently tried a marble nail that was a total fail but one of my nails had this pretty split of color that inspired this design. And like I said, sparkles are pretty much swirling in my mind so yeah a thin strip of glitter makes the loveliest festive nail to pair with a full on sequin dress or even a casual jeans and tee.

 1. Paint your nails in a fun bright red base color.

2. Place a piece of scotch tape down the middle of your finger. I alternated sides.

3. Paint your nail in a cute ballerina pink.

4. Once dry, peel off tape carefully. Don't worry if the lines are a little messed up, they will be covered.

5. Using a thin brush, dip into a clear polish and draw a line down the middle.

6. Dip your nail into some extra fine glitter. I poured a bit of glitter into the glitter bottle cap.

7. Blow off excess glitter.

8. Top coat your nails. I top coated each section, the light pink and red on all nails first before going over the glitter on any nails to avoid getting glitter where it shouldn't be. 

All done!

Let me know if you try this on insta by tagging your pic #sobdlife  I would love to see if you try any other color combos!
