SWISS DOTS N RIBBONS NAIL ART

So, I am sitting in my craft room and I see a basket of swiss dot ribbon and I think...wow, what a cool nail art design that would make and so here is a tutorial for you.  This is a very easy beginner nail art, so don't be afraid to try it.

Supplies needed:

First, always put a base coat on.  I use Seche Vite Base Coat.  Then paint two coats of White...this will make the colors pop!!

Then paint a diagonal stripe of pink, then leave some space and paint a purple stripe, then a red one and then a pink.  If your nails are longer than keep painting stripes in the continued pattern, but leave enough space after the last stripe for the silver glitter polish.

 Then use your silver glitter polish and fill in the stripes in between the colored stripes, like so:

  

After you have completed the glitter polish, grab your dotting tool and start placing dots on each of the "ribbons"....after the dots dry, put on 2 coats of top coat.  I use Seche Vite Top Coat....When completed, it will look like this:

Here it is completed on one hand:

I made this blog to showcase my latest crochet designs that I will be putting in my online stores and also to just chat about the two things that I am into right now.  I am really into nail art and learning how to paint.  I also am doing a low carb diet in which I hope to lose 30 more lbs by summer....I know I can do it and I will take you all along with me in my weightloss journey....and I will be posting recipes that are low carb and delicious.

Well that is about it for my first post....please come back soon to see my latest designs of crochet and nail art.....bye for now ;o)

I will leave you with my first nail art design of 2012 and what inspired me.  My inspirations was a Cabbage Rose Halter set that I made for a customer and I just love the pattern and design, so I made a nail art from the colors of it.

Here is my inspiration:

 

Here is my nail art I designed....I actually had it on all my nails, but I forgot to take a picture before I removed it, so here it is on a fake nail....stay tuned for more designs!!

 Please note that I am NOT a professional.  I just love to do nail art and so I do my own nails....Take care!!
