HOW TO CREATE "NINJA TURTLES" NAILS!




Hello guys! just wanted to post another one of my tutorials. This time we will be creating THE NINJA TURTLES. 

For this creation you will need:
- GREEN nail polish
- RED nail polish
- BLUE nail polish
- PURPLE nail polish
- ORANGE nail polish
- WHITE nail polish
- BLACK thin nail polish
- CLEAR TOP COAT

STEP ONE: Paint four nails with the GREEN nail polish and one with YELLOW nail polish. Dry between coats. 

 STEP TWO: On the GREEN painted nails, paint a WHITE strip with the WHITE nail polish. This will help make the other colors pop since GREEN is not a great background color. Then color the last nail YELLOW this will be the pizza the ninja turtles love to eat. :)


STEP THREE: Color in the WHITE  with BLUE, RED, PURPLE, && ORANGE nail polishes on each nail.



 STEP FOUR: Dot the eyes with WHITE nail polish.

STEP FIVE: Dot pepperoni with RED nail polish.


 STEP SIX: Dot the eyes with BLACK nail polish && create a smile with the BLACK thin brush.


Apply a thick coat of clear after your nails has dried. *Colors tend to run during this process so the quicker you apply clear is better. Applying it slow will only give the colors time to blend together.**

ENJOY!

"Despicable Me" nails


Let me show you how to create Minions on your nails!
You're going to need:

1. YELLOW nail polish
2. SILVER nail polish
3. WHITE nail polish
4. BLACK nail polish && a thin brush black nail polish
5.  PEN for dotting. (big dots are a qtip end size and the small dots are a pen tip size)

LETS BEGIN!

STEP ONE: On clean nails coat nails with YELLOW nail polish. Let them dry between coats for better coverage.


STEP TWO: Using the end of a pen (Q-tip end size) use the SILVER nail polish and make two dots a little above the middle of each nail. **TIP: it helps to pour two drops of nail polish from the brush to a piece of paper for easy dotting**



 STEP THREE: Using the same pen, use the WHITE nail polish and dot in the centers of the SILVER dots.


STEP FOUR: Using the smaller end of the pen, create teeth structures on random nails with WHITE nail polish by dotting each tooth.



 STEP FIVE: Dot eyes with BLACK nail polish using the tip of the pen.

 STEP SIX: With the BLACK nail polish, with the thin brush draw the straps of the goggles and create a funny smile on each nail.

 STEP SEVEN: Let your nails dry and use a top coat to keep them from chipping. **TIP: with the amount of nail polishes piled on one another, if you use a clear nail polish too slow you will make the colors run. So, I usually dip my brush into the clear until it is "drenched" and then i run it on my nail really fast. **

ENJOY!!!
