DIY New Years Nails

If you are of the procrastination type, here  are some fun
 and easy manicure  ideas that  you can do with stuff around the house!
1. The Funky French Mani

First you want to use the q- tip to spread the Vaseline around your cuticles.  This will allow you to easily wipe off any nail polish that runs.  With black, it’s a must.
 After you’ve painted  the black, use the paint pen to draw a thin line and color it in.  I’ve also seen this done with gold sharpie.
Wait for the paint to dry, then carefully add a top coat.
I love this look because  it’s classic but fun at the same time!
2. Glitter Ombre Nails

This one is so easy it’s silly.  Simply sprinkle loose glitter onto you  nails while the black paint is still wet.  Use one pinchful per nail, start at the tip and  work your way down, stopping about 1/4 of the way to leave a solid black at the bottom.
Add a top coat to seal it all in.
Hopefully these  come in handy for a few  of you!
I’ll see  you all next year!  Cheers!
xoxo,
H

    Both of these are so cute and perfect for new years..and girl, that vaseline tip WOW. Why didn't I think of that? I'm a notoriously 'colour outside the lines' nail painter. HAPPY NEW YEAR.

    Great tip with the vaseline! I just got a charcoal color for Christmas and am afraid of it! Love the look of the loose glitter!

    I love both of the new years nails. I need to paint my nails before heading to the party tonight. I've been procrastinating for the past few days. Have a wonderful time tonight 🙂

    Love these ideas! I'm using a gold sharpie and purple nail polish to recreate the first look!

    Here's to a healthy and happy 2013! Hope you have a blast tonight!
