Zig Zag Nail Art

It's Time for Nail AAAArt!
Yesterday I was on pinterest and I found a picture of a beautiful black pink and silver nail design and i decided to make it myself!
But today I couldn't find the picture anymore. And that's what you get being a lazy girl that doesn't pin what she likes. I ended up searching the web for instruction on how to make something similar!


You need:


- Nail polishes and top coat
- Tape
- Scissors
- Patience!!!


You need a lot of time to do this, but it's worth!


OK so first make sure you have clean nails. Decide how many layers you want to make and what colors to use.
Take your base color and paint your nails. I choose white. It took me two coats to have a solid color.

Let your polish dry for at least 12 minutes.


Take your tape and cut triangles out of if. You can make them as big or as little as you want. Then start putting tape on your nails, covering up 1\3 of the nail.

Paint your nails with your second colour. I choose light blue. Let the first hand dry for 12 minutes before taking off the tape and moving on to the other hand.

Third layer: cover your nail with the tape and paint on the color. I choose blue.


I'm lazy and goofy and imprecise, so my two layers are uneven, and the zig zag doesn't match. If you have time and willing to make them going the exact same way, do it!


I let my nail polish dry for 15 minutes for the last layer. Then removed the tape.

I Really love the result!
Take a cotton swab and remove the excess and be generous with your top coat!


And you're done!!
This tecnique is so easy and versatile!! I'm def going to use it every once in a while and maybe change the shape of the tape!

Intro..

Ok so, first post.
I'd like to say that i'm Italian 100%, first of all.
Then... why i'm writing in English if i'm italian? My current dream is moving from italy to the US, sooner or later.
And i have to practice my english skills.
I have a passion for make up, and that is why this is a BB, Beauty Blog.
Now is time for introducing myself: my name is Carly, i'm 22 and i'm italian (already said, i know). I graduated last year and now i'm a nurse, looking for a job. In my spare time (wich appens to be a lot lately) i do EVERYTHING. Tell a thing and i can say oh, yeah i did / i'm doing it last week/yesterday/a month ago/ tomorrow/ in a week etcetcetc.
Let's start from what i like doing the most: make up. I could spend hours reading blog posts, watching youtube videos, searching for inspiration all over the place.
Then, DIY. I discovered diy like at the end of last year and started really doing it last month. But i am obsessed. Wherever i go and whatever i see/buy i'm thinking of diy.
Cross stitch. It make me feel so relaxed and peaceful laying on the couch with something to cross stitch. I could spend days only cross stitching (but then even a month without doing it).
What else... Gardening, sewing, baking, cooking. Name it.

My biggest fear is talking. you know, i know that i could make videos and stuff but i'm too shy to do it.
I always think about what other people could say.
And it's so funny because i know that i can speak english, and that i do it well, but with other people looking at me and asking me questions i can't. I mean i've been studying english for like half of my life and still i can't speak. My boyfriend is so outgoing that he speaks eventhough i knows like 5 words and no grammar at all.
The problem is that when someone asks me something in english in my head i go like " well i could say it that way, or do like that", but in the end i'm speachless. Not because i can't speak, but because i think too much on how to say it the right way and spelling it right so that the person i'm talking to can only think "oh, that's good". HATE myself when i do that.

You see? My mind is all over the place. Always thinking about making a good impression. Silly me.

So, let's get back to the blog. I will take this as a diary of my experiences and my life, w/out pretending someone to read it. But if you are, i really appreciate that. And if you're english/american/australian/whatever i'd really appreciate comments on my english and corrections. I'm a little bit rusty.

Welcome to my life.
