Water Marble Without Water

Hey! This is an easy design but you just have to do it right. This is the first time i did it so its not very good..
So here's what you need...
-3 colors
-white
-toothpick
What you do first is paint your nails white. Don't let them dry!!
Paint 3 diagonal really thick lines of each color on your nail. Start in the corner of your nail and with the toothpick drag it in a diagonal line. Repeat this multiple times. Make sure all the colors blend. If they don't look right, take a paper towel and since it's wet, you can just wipe it off and start over. Don't clean the toothpick after each line. If you have trouble there is some really good videos on how to do this!

if you try this design share it with us at friends4evanails@gmail.com! it could be featured in our gallery!

Zebra Nails!

This is another simple design! Always start with a basecoat (Essie's Feed Me basecoat). I painted my fingers with Sinful Colors in Black on Black, and I painted my ring finger with Sinful Colors in Snow Me White. Then I took L.A. Colors Art Deco in White, starting at the base of your nail create a curved 'V' shape and work your way in making them smaller. For the accent nail I used L.A Colors in Bright Green, Magenta, Intense Pink, and Sinful Colors in Why Not. Apply a top coat (I used Sally Hansen InstaDri Anti-Chip topcoat) and TA-DA! :)

Confetti PARTY!

These nails are SO easy its unbelievable. You don't even have to worry about being symmetrical with your left and right hand!

First paint your nails white. Down below i have pictures of the materials i used. So you will need a makeup sponge, or really any kind of sponge. 
Paint some pink on the corner of your sponge and dab it on paper to get the excess off. Sponge it onto your nail just in random spots. Keep doing that to all your nails.
Use a bunch of colors! Repeat each color the same way you did with the pink.
If you dont want to use the same colors i did, use whatever you want!
Sparkles are optional;)

Galaxy Nails

Hey! This was my first attempt of galaxy nails!! So you need a makeup sponge and 3 colors of your choice, plus glitter. I used pink, green and blue. You also need a dark blue or a black for the base coat.
Paint your nails with the base coat and when they aren't quite dry but they aren't really wet, kinda sticky, take your makeup sponge and paint some green on the corner. To get the excess paint off the sponge dab it on some paper towel. Next, take the makeup sponge and sponge on the green in a thin coat on your nail. Do the same with the pink and blue. If one of the colors overlaps too much to the point where you can't see the color underneath repeat the color you can't see. After that paint glitter on top! It looks so cool, right??

Modern French Tips

Hiya! I had to go to a wedding, so I decided to paint my nails to match my dress. I wanted to do something that was not too crazy, but still unique. So I applied the basecoat (Essie's Feed Me) and painted my nails with Wet n Wild's Fast Dry nail polish in Gray's Anatomy. Then, I used L.A. Colors Nail Art Deco in Black to make a curved line at the tips. I took two stick-on nail stickers and put a thin coat of Sinful Colors in Innocent and put it in the corner of my nail. After that, I applied Sally Hansen's InstaDri Anti-Chip topcoat and I was done! Tell us down below if you liked this idea or what you would have done!

Water Marble!

One of the funnest (and sometimes messiest) designs to do on my nails is water marbling. All you need is some nail polish, a cup or bowl, and a toothpick. First, paint your nails with a basecoat and your choice of nail polish (personally I've found that white works best). Then, put a few drops of your choice of colors into the water, stir it with the toothpick, and put your finger in. When you take it out, apply the topcoat and clean up around the edges of your fingers! Tell us down below what your favorite design to do is! **Tip: If you want less of a mess to deal with, try putting tape around your nails before you start!**

Colors I used were:
Sinful Colors- Black on Black
Sinful Colors- Snow Me White
Sally Hansen- InstaDri Anti-Chip Topcoat

Colors I used were:
Sinful Colors- Black on Black

Sinful Colors- Innocent
Sinful Colors- Savage
Sinful Colors- Unicorn

Pink with Polka Dots

You need small tipped brushes for this or I guess you can use a toothpick... So first paint your nails neon pink. I used white and yellow for this next part. On the left side of your nail, next to your skin but not touching it make a line of vertical yellow dots. On the pic they look orange but their not... Next to that make the dots white. Repeat for each nail and your other hand. Now your done!;)
