Hello guys!

It's been a long time.

Ageha here!


Here's a selca!

So today I'm going to do a nail tutorial for you guys.

This is the end results. If you're interested, read on!


Before you start, you can buff your nails or shape them. I'm a pretty lazy person so I don't really do those.

Now the first step I do, is apply 2 coats of base coat. (Or in my case because my nails are really thin and breaks easily I use a hardening base.)


I am using the coat from Sally Hansen's. 

Wait for it to dry while you do something else or whatever. For me I play Tetris on my laptop. =P

Next you apply the tips. You can use a tip guide depending on how steady your hands are. I personally don't need them because I am quite experienced with painting my nails...

You can see that my tips are uneven. That's because I don't really cut or shape my nails so you have to pardon me on that part.


I am using Sally Hansen's White On.

On to the third step. Again wait for it to dry, and then you can use the below to draw the line. This thing has two sides, you open the top cover and there's a steel tip for making dots and patterns, and you open the whole cover and you get a brush attached to it and I use that for drawing straight lines like the example below.


I don't have a specific brand for this. I got it off some pushcart.

Since the golden tube of paint contains acrylic, it drys up pretty fast so you can start almost as soon as you finish.

Continuing on, I used the following to make a crossed-over design so the results are as followed.


And the following... The end result as shown in the first picture of the tutorial!


I got this online because those that they sell in pushcarts are too darn expensive. For something like this it costs $5.90 and  got this for lesser than $2!

I stick the rhinestones on with a tweezers and glue. You can do it your own way of course. If I'm not wrong, there's a equipment just made for that. You can just google it or something.

That's all for today! Hope you enjoyed the tutorial.
