Beauty Bulletin Polish Up Challenge

Beauty Bulletin has this new feature on their website. Kerri and Lori have challenged us ladies to a few challenges, and what's really great is that there are going to be different challenges every month!!
Knowing me and my nail craze, I immediately picked no 3: Polish up. Click on this link to see what I have gotten myself into.

So far I have come up with these looks (click on the links under each picture to view the full gallery)

Retro Nail Art Design

Here is another really easy nail art design that adds a little 'Funk' to your everyday look. Follow the tutorial video by Indigonova1 below.

What you will need: A base coat, Any colour polish as your base colour, black nail polish/acrylic paint, White nail polish/acrylic paint, A dotting tool, Striper brush/polish and A top coat. 

Dotting Tool: If you do not have a dotting tool you can make your own. Visit my Minnie Mouse nail art post and view the dotting tool tutorial by 'Cutepolish' there.

Nail Art Stripers: I have a nail art brush set so i didnt need to go find stripers. I was, however, very excited to see a whole range of Art Deco Stripers by L.A.Colors at Dischem. They are only R29.99 a bottle and they are an absolute must in any nail polish collection, especially the glittered ones! Here is a picture of what the stand looks like so pop into your nearest Dischem to find them.

You can mix and match different colours to suit your style. You can even do your lines and dots different colours. Just be careful with this design when it comes to drying time. If you don't let the layers dry properly before you apply the next one it will smudge and crease. I prefer using acrylic paints because they dry way faster than nail polish. You can find Reeves acrylic paints at C.N.A or any craft shop for about R85-R90 for a tray of small tubes.

If you would like to get the same blue as in the video then i would suggest using Tip Top's Astronaut. Its almost the same blue.

Minnie Mouse Nail Art!

Try this super cute and easy Minnie Mouse Nail Art design. The Cutepolish Tutorial Video is below.

You will need: A base coat, Red nail polish, White nail polish or acrylic paint, Black nail polish or acrylic paint, a dotting tool and a Top coat. 
This is what i used:

I received a Nail art brush kit (With dotting tools) as a gift last year but if you're wondering where to get your own you can order it online at Want It All.co.za. You can also find dotting tools at a few nail salons or you can make your own by following the Cutepolish video instructions below.

The look, on my nails:

Remember you can add your own design to it as well and don't need to do it exactly like the video (Like my pink dots on the bows). If you struggle to paint your right hand then rather stick to one bow on each hand (On your ring finger) and leave the rest as plain polka dots.
