Toenail Designs: Vintage Flower with Black, White and Silver fun!

I used a basic clear base coat, clear top coat, Maybelline Express Finish #895 Black nail polish, L.A. Colors Art Deco White, L.A. Colors Art Deco Silver, 888 Nail Art medium dotting tool, 888 Nail Art small dotting tool, DL Professional French Manicure brush by Debra Lynn and 2 black rhinestones for the center of the flowers.

Step by step:

1. Start with a base coat & allow to dry.

2. Paint a basic french manicure in Maybelline Express Finish #895 black. (I use a french manicure brush to perfect the smile line in this step).

3. Use your 888 Nail Art medium dotting tool to create the five petal flower with  L.A. Colors Art Deco White paint.

4. Use the 888 Nail Art small dotting tool to create the smaller dots that make up the vine of the flower. I did the vine  the same black as the french manicure.

5. Place a small dab of clear coat in the center of the flower and then put your black rhinestone on the dab of clear coat. Allow the nails to dry.

Fingernail Designs: Summer Pink with Flowers.

I used a basic clear base coat, clear top coat, Pink Wet n Wild #454D, L.A. Colors Art Deco White, L.A. Colors Art Deco Neon Green, L.A. Colors Art Deco Silver Glitter, 888 Nail Art small dotting tool and 888 Nail Art medium dotting tool.




Step by step:

1. Apply base coat and allow to dry.

2. Apply pink polish over the entire nail. Allow to dry.

3. Use the medium dotting tool and make a 5 petal flower on each nail.

4. Use a dab of silver glitter for the center of each flower.You could also use a rhinestone but with this design covering each nail, the rhinestones could come off of some of the fingers.
