============================

Step 1:  gather all your needed supplies, remove old polish and prep your nails.

Step 2: apply base coat and let dry

SIMPLE STRIPED NAILS
====================
this is the look currently on my nails  and it is easy to do!

for this look you will need your favorite color polish for the background as well as a different color for the stripes, a striping brush-- *NOTE* you can buy a striping brush at sallys beauty supply or make your own there are several tutorials on youtube that show you how.

Step 1:  prep your nails
Step 2:  apply base coat
Step 3: apply background color -- I used sally Hansen extreme wear hard as nails #139 white on

 
Step 4: dip your striping brush into your color of choice-- (I used an old plastic lid to put a little on it to make it easier, the color I picked is almost a periwinkle blue /light purple shade from Revlon called irresistible. )  and make the stripes on your nails.
 
Step 5: once dry apply top coat

In honor of the 4th of July this coming Monday, I decided that the first nail art how to I would post about would be a patriotic one that pays tribute to the stars and stripes.

STAR SPANGLED NAILS
=====================

For this look you will need:

Red nail polish, white nail polish, blue nail polish, a good base coat and a good top coat and a dotting tool or even a tooth pick.

 

 

 

 

 
STEP 1: Prep your nails by removing old polish and trimming and filing nails to desired shape and length.
 
 
STEP 2: Apply base coat and let dry thoroughly
 
STEP 3: apply thin coat of white polish and let dry , depending on how opaque your polish is you may need a second thin coat.

 

 
STEP 4:  Carefully make a swipe of blue polish across the top of your nails and let dry
 before moving on to the next step.

 

 
STEP 5: make the red stripes on your nail by dipping either a striping tool or the narrowest end of a dotting tool  in the red polish(I put a little on an old plastic cover to make it easier)
 
STEP 6: using a small dotting tool or a toothpick dipped in white polish and make small white dots on the blue polish to represent the stars on the flag.

 

 
STEP 7:  When your polish is dry, then cover generously with  your topcoat and let dry completely
 
this is what the finished nails look like :

 

 
 
and that's it! it is fairly simple to do. 
 
dotting tools can be found at sally's beauty supply(which is where I got mine)  and on amazon.com.
