Straw Nail Art

Hello everyone!  Sorry I haven't posted for a while...  I've been a bit busy getting ready for school.  

Anyways, one of my best friends showed me this very cool design for your nails.  It looks like this:

Doesn't it look so cool?  Well guess what?  It's also really easy to do!  

All you need is a straw (a thin one), a base color (preferably a color that will not overpower your other colors), and a couple of other colors of nail polish.  The design is as easy as it looks.  Just paint your nails with your base color, wait for them to dry, put a little bit of color on the end of your straw, and stamp it on your nails.  Wait for that to dry and cover the design with clear nail polish.  

I did this a couple of weeks a ago and it only took me twenty minutes tops.  I would've taken a picture of my own nails, but they're already chipping away.  The first picture up above looks almost exactly like my nails because I also used red and blue on top of white.  The only difference is that I didn't stamp the colors so many times.  Too many circles would be a little too overpowering.

If you have any questions, please email me at: chrispytai@gmail.com.  Have fun with the design!
