How To Do: Strawberry nail art

I asked some people which design they would like to see a tutorial for, and this one's the top pick. So once again, I put up a simple step by step tutorial on how to do this very cute and yummy looking Strawberry nail design.


WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
  • A Red, White & Yellow nail polish
  • Green striper
  • Toothpicks




And this is what you should have... Easy, right?



TIPS: 
  • Make sure to let your first coat of polish dry first before layering it with another to prevent bubbles.
  • Finish with a top coat to prevent it from chipping.

STEP 1: Dab some white polish on the sponge.




STEP 2: Dab the white polish all over until it covers the whole jewelry, it will serve as a base coat so the next colors you apply will show up better.




STEP 3: Apply the first color. You can choose whatever shade you want to use. If you're planning to use 3 or more colors like what I'm doing, it's easier if you apply the 'transition color' first, which goes right in the middle part. In my case, it's purple.




STEP 4: Dab/paint on the rest of the colors on both sides. 



And voila! 
A new piece of jewelry!
