30 Days of French Twist, day 13- Black and White

Today's design is one of my favorites. I adore everything black and white. Its simple and elegant and super easy to do. The second picture is yellow because, sorry about that. It's because of my poor light box.

1. Paint nail white.
2. Paint the bottom half of the nail black.
3. Paint white flowers to the black part.
4. Do small white dots next to the flowers.
5. Paint black flowers on the top part.
6. Do black dots near the flowers and in the centres of the white ones.
7. Do white centres to the black flowers.

30 Days of French Twist, day 12- Cookie Monster Half Moon

I have always wanted to do a half moon manicure (yes, it is technically a type of french tip). And I have wanted to do a cookie monster design ever since I got the perfect blue for it (I used "Blue My Mind" by H&M). So I simply combined the two, into a very awesome design. Also I got Sammy from The Nailasaurus to replicate my design. You can see it here. BIG THANKS TO THE NAILASAURUS. I also really love how she used flocking powder on the blue. so without further adieu I give you the tutorial.

1. Paint nails blue.
2. Paint a half moon with dark brown.
3. Fill in the half moon with beige, so you can only see a thin line of brown
4. Use a dotting tool to add chocolate chips.

30 Days of French Twist, day 11-Halloween Nail Art

I do believe that I overstretched the meaning of french manicure :D
Well there is a black tip. Anyway I love this design. The ghosts look adorable. If you want you can add red glitter near the cuticle area. I did but the photo came out terrible.

1. Make a yellow and orange gradient.
2. Paint the ground and a tree in black
3. Add a fence and some graves
4. Paint ghosts.
5. Paint screaming faces on the ghosts.
6. Top coat+enjoy

30 Days of French Twist, day 10- The Tetris French

Today I have a Tetris themed design. I have always wanted to do this design, but for me it was surprisingly complicated to get all the pieces the same size. After some failed testing this method seems to work the best for me.

1. Paint nail black
2. Paint a white tip (which is not shown in the tutorial for some reason. sorry)
3. Use a thin striper to draw squared on the white tip.
4. Paint some Tetris pieces (parts, or whatever they are called)
5. Add some more.
6. Paint the empty squares black.
7. Top coat+enjoy

30 Days of French Twist, day 9- the Nyan Cat French

As some of you probably know I am a huge fan of nyan cat. I don't know why, but is's something about the combination of rainbows, pop tarts and cats.

1. Paint the nail dark blue. (I used 433 by Flormar. I will never get enough of dark metallic blue.)
2. Paint a white french tip.
3. Paint a thin red line on the tip
4. paint a orange line next to the red
5. repeat step 4 with yellow, green and blue
6. add stars.
7. top coat+enjoy

30 Days of French Twist, day 8- The Glitter Gradient

Well actually I don't think this design is listed under gradient. It's sort of gradient ombre glitter thingy. Someone PLEASE explain the difference between gradient and ombre.

Anyway, this is a super easy design but I love it. When I am in a hurry but want paint my nails I always choose this design. It also works for a design with an accent nail (I mean as with the accent nail, not as the accent nail).

1. Paint nail black.
2. Do a glitter gradient tip (I do believe this is not very well explained. So here is the looong version. You need loose glitter, a medium sized nail art brush and top coat. Dip the brush into the top coat, make sure the top coat isn't dripping from the brush, get enough to cover the brush thickly. Dip the top coated brush into the loose glitter. You should have a brush full of something that looks like a very thick   glitter polish. Place the brush at the end of the nail to make the tip, with brush strokes from the tip to the cuticle.)
3. top coat+enjoy.

Oh, whoa, that's a lot of text.

30 Days of French Twist, day 7- The crackle tip

Today I have a really easy design for you. It's supposed to look like a crackle gradient tip.

1. Paint nail black.
2. Use crackle nail polish to do the tip.
3. Use yellow nail polish to unite some of the crackled pieces.
4. Top coat+enjoy.
