Swirly nail tutorial.

So, I know you're probably busy doing the really neat nail thing I showed you over on Simply Sunstar in my last post.  But here's another cute nail tip.  Multi-colour swirls!:)


You can take your one colour nails like this:
(Sorry about the chips lol, I did it last night but had no time to post)

So you can get your nails to look like THIS:
(This picture was taken before I could remove the out polish off my skin.)


BUT all you need is a plastic or reusable cup, cold tap water, moisturizer and whatever choice(s) of nail polish.  As well as q-tips, toothpicks and nail polish remover.

1: Fill the cup about half an inch from the top with cold water.

2: Drop a drop of nail polish into the water.  (Try to make it towards the center)

3: Once it spreads (you'll see what I mean) place a different colour in the center of that colour.  And so on..

4: Take the toothpick and swirl the colours around to make a neat pattern.

5: Cover your hands with moisturizer to make it easy to take off.  But DO NOT GET ANY ON YOUR NAIL or it won't stick.

6: Dip the top of your finger into the cup, and lift up under a part of the pattern you like on your nail.

7: Remove the excess on the skin with nail polish remover and a q tip for careful removal.

8: Clear coat:)

Have fun, and be creative:):)
