2. Paint chocolate frosting with brown.

30 Days of French Twist, day 1- The Joker Twist

I have seen many bloggers doing the 30 day challenge. All of you probably know how it goes, but I am going to explain it anyway. So, the point of the 30 day challenge is to do one nail art design every day, often there is a specific list of designs you have to do like: day 5. - blue nails. Usually the list is displayed on the blog. I have twisted the challenge and decided not to show the list nor make one.  So you just have to check back every day for new designs :). As you can see from the title the theme of this challenge is the french twist. Also instead of posting pictures of the design I am going to post a tutorial.

So without further adieu I give you my first tutorial.

Since I have noticed that you can't really see the text if I add it to the picture, so I am just simply going to write the steps.

1. Paint the nail red
2. Paint half of the nail black
3. Use black to outline the ruff (or whatever the thing is called).
4. Paint the ruff white.
5. Enjoy

If you use this tutorial please add a link to a picture of the result to comments. Thank you!

Kawaii Nails

Happy New year!!
As you can see from my blog I have made no New Year's, Christmas nor winter inspired nail art . I am never on topic with my ideas for new designs. I spent most of summer painting Halloween designs, but when it was Halloween I completely ran out of ideas. So don't be surprised when I will post Christmas nail art in the middle of may.

Anyway I decided to do kawaii nails. Kawaii is the Japanese word for cute. On my thumb I painted a cute cupcake with a eye patch, on my pinkie I painted  a hamster, on my ring finger I painted a cute little panda with a bow tie, on my middle finger there is a adorable sheep and on my pointer I painted Nyan cat. I have a unexplained love for Nyan cat. Just look at him/her/it/whatever, the giant black button eyes and small paws AND he/she/it/whatever is also stuck in a pop tart and has a rainbow trail where ever he/she/it/whatever goes. How can you not love Nyan cat.
