Tutorial #006: July 4th Fireworks




Today is the 4th of July, so even if I'm not American I've made this nails.

At first I wanted to do "U.S.A. flag nails" but I tought it was too common so I choose this fireworks. You can made it even if it's not the 4th of July!!

In the picture there is only one hand because, since I didn't have a lot of time, I've made only one hand. When I'm done I will update with both hands. (I wanted to post this soon or it will be too late!).
I've changed my mind. I wanted to try something new so I removed the fireworks. Sorry if you wanted to see the whole result.

What you need: a thin brush, different colors of nail polish, clear rhinestones.

Colors: (this are the colors used for the base, for the fireworks you can use all the colors that you want!)

How to:

  1. Drop some nail polish in the midlle of your nail and add some rays (like a sun).
  2. Cover with a darker color and add some more rays.
  3. Add another darker color and some rays.
