Spice Up Your Life!

Bri has been showing me the in's and out's of nail design for the past few weeks now. She showed me all of her nail tools and supplies to keep her nails clean and healthy. She also showed me her collection of over 50 nail polishes. After teaching me how to paint the perfect plain nail, she decided to show me how to create cool designs on nails.


Bri did this design back in February. She started by painting her nails gold and letting it dry. After the first coat dried,  she took the light pink color called "Fiji" and painted the upper part of each of her nails. Once that was all dry, she took a fine pointed brush and painted a black line in the middle of each nail. She chose these colors because gold is her favorite color and the light pink contrasted with it. The light pink complements the gold as well as the black separates the colors to make it a unique and distinct design. That is more of a simple design for Bri. She also does more intricate things such as the spring design below. This resembles watermelon as well as adds some sparkle.



Let this be clear that Bri is not your average "girly girl". Yes, she likes to have her nails done, but she definitely wasn't the little girl playing with dolls. When it comes to adding jewels and sparkles to her nails, she likes to keep it minimal and modest.



These polka dots on her middle finger give some flare to this purple nail without overpowering the beautiful color. Bri says that she likes to be creative and is never afraid to try something new. When she can't think of anything to paint, she likes to browse Pinterest and other Instagram accounts she follows for inspiration.
