                                                   Weekend Nails!
 Since it's the weekend, and many people have plans, I decided to do show you some quick nail art designs that aren't time consuming, and very easy and quick to do. Let's begin!

Marble Nails
Marble nail art may not be the quickest  design, but it is definitely worth it!  The picture above is an example of how marble nails turn out. To achieve the look, you will need: masking/scotch tape, two or more nail polish colors of your choice, a bowl filled with water(room temperature), and a toothpick. A cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover also comes in handy!Click on the link for a tutorial:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7bwL2S7auk
Good luck!

First Post!

                  

               Hey readers! This week, I decided to focus on the one kind of art that every girl truly loves…nail art! Nail art is a great way to accessorize outfits, while finding an enjoyment for art at the same time! It is also a great way to play with colors and stand out. To help you learn, I will be posting links to videos throughout the week from one of my all time favorite YouTube channels, LOVE4NAILS. Here's the look that we will be working on today:

           For today's video, we will be starting off with a very simple design.It's very cute, fun, and personally one of my favorites! I hope that you try the design and become successful achieving it! You can mix and match with colors to make it your own. Please comment to tell me if you liked the video! Here's a tip to help you accomplish the look:
When working with the thin brush, make sure you slide the brush against the edge of the nail polish bottle before you start using it one your nails to make the lines nice and thin. Good luck!

How would you define art? Would you define it as clean brushstrokes on a canvas? Or maybe doodling on a sheet of paper? From classrooms to kitchen floor tiles, art surrounds you, and it should be a part of your life too! That’s what my blog is for; throughout the year, I will be giving you helpful tips and feedback on different types of art so you can improve yourself, and become more inspired to do art instead of finding it torture.
Art may already be part of your life already without you even knowing it! For example, what do want to be when you grow up? If you want to be a fashion designer, art is extremely important for you. You will be designing and decorating all types of clothes… which is where art comes in. Maybe you want to become an architect. In that case in is crucial that you know and are interested in art, because you will be designing houses throughout your career. As you can see, not only is art very important, it is a way of life.
Art does not have to be the usual painting on paper, art can be whenever, wherever, and however you want it to be. For example, you can be doing ceramics, sculptures, crafts, and much, much more! But for this week, I will be focusing on nail art. Nail art is a very simple and chic way to have fun with art and also stand out! Here are some types nail designs that I will be helping you accomplish during this following week:
