Back in my Home Town

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in a while. I'm sorry about that. But I'm back home and my mom is begging me to paint her nails. Hopefully I can get some photos of that even though I left my camera back home in B-town. 
When I get back home, I will be posting where my ideas for nail designs start. Which usually tends to be in my math class. Little doodles in the corner of my math notes. I'll bring you my newest idea then along with the sketch of the simple lace nails I posted last time. I'm still wearing those nails, but they will be changed soon.
Paint on!

TUTORIAL: Simple Lace

Woohoo! I'm finally updating the blog today! I've had a busy week. I will be having a busy weekend to because my boyfriend is coming to visit. 
Today's nails are a very simple lace. Step-by-step photo tutorial too!
Enjoy.

Step 1:
Base coat if you choose...
Two coats of your base color.

Step 2: 
Topcoat!
This makes it easier to erase mistakes without taking off the base coat.

Step 3:
Make dots of whatever size you desire going at a slight angle.

Step 4:
Use a smaller dotting tool to put your base color in the center of the white dot.
My dotting tools are double sided. I just flipped it over and used the other end.

Step 5:
Make a line under the dots.

Step 6:
Make lines directly below the circles. 
I made mine at a slight angle also.

Step 7:
Basically you make a V shape now by adding a line going the opposite tilt from the lines you just made.

Step 8:
Now cross over the lines you just made to make an X.
Topcoat!

There are many different things you could do with the bottom half of this nail. It could be just solid white or a fishnet pattern. Pretty much anything will work there.

Paint on.
