00:36 - In my previous nail tutorials,
00:51 I demonstrated that you don't need any fancy tools
00:54 to create amazing nail art designs.
00:56 But today, we're taking a step further
00:58 and we're making these five totally adorable
01:00 and easy nail art designs
01:02 and the only tool you're going to need is no tool.
01:05 Yes, you heard me right.
01:06 What?
01:09 All we need for all of these five designs are nail polishes.
01:12 Are you guys excited?
01:13 I'm sure you are, so let's dive in.
01:15 So many interesting nail designs can be created
01:24 by just using the nail polish brushes.
01:26 I'm gonna share five of them with you today.
01:29 Let's kick off by applying a layer of base coat.
01:31 I'm currently looking for a new base coat.
01:33 Do you guys have any favorites to recommend?
01:36 Since I'm painting my nails a lot lately,
01:38 I really want to protect them well.
01:40 The first design reminds me of a superhero.
01:42 Let's call it the Wonder Woman nail art.
01:44 I'm starting off with a glittery dark green polish.
01:47 For me, two coats are enough for a nice opaque result.
01:51 Now I'm going in with a white polish.
01:53 Draw a diagonal stripe from the outer part
01:55 towards the center.
01:57 Start at the middle of the nail
01:58 and drag the line to the tip.
02:00 Do this on both sides.
02:02 If you need to, clean the skin around your nail
02:04 with a q-tip soaked in acetone.
02:06 Now make two parallel lines using a bright red
02:09 or orange polish.
02:11 I find these are much easier to draw
02:12 since you already have a white polish as a guide.
02:15 See how we transformed the plain manicure
02:17 into a fun and interesting one with just four strokes.
02:21 Apply a top coat to make your design last longer
02:24 and add some shine.
02:25 This could also be a great idea for Halloween
02:27 if you want to transform yourself into a powerful superwoman.
02:33 Next is the gradient stripes design.
02:35 You need three polish shades of the same color.
02:38 I'm using three tones of blue.
02:40 If you don't have three shades of the same color,
02:42 you can still make the design using three colors of your choice.
02:45 It will look different but still cute.
02:47 Start with your darkest color, for me this is a navy blue
02:50 and apply it all over the nail.
02:52 Then take a slightly lighter shade
02:54 and make a stroke down the middle of your nail.
02:57 As you can see I am drawing this line
02:58 with the white side of the brush.
03:00 For the lightest color turn the brush for 90 degrees
03:03 and draw a stripe with the thinner side
03:05 to get a thinner stripe.
03:08 And that's it!
03:09 Finish up with a fast drying top coat.
03:12 This design is so lovely and simple.
03:14 It's done in no time and makes a really beautiful manicure
03:17 which will spice up your overall look.
03:21 For the third design we are making
03:23 this adorable giraffe print nail art.
03:26 The technique is a bit different but so quick and easy.
03:29 To make the yellow polish more vibrant
03:31 I am starting off with the white as a base.
03:34 Next apply a very thick layer of yellow.
03:37 See how I am adding the polish to make sure
03:39 that I have a very generous amount of yellow nail polish on.
03:43 Now you need to work really fast.
03:45 Make a few orange dots on top
03:47 while the yellow polish is still wet.
03:49 This is why you need to apply a thick coat of yellow.
03:52 The thicker the layer, more time is needed for it to dry.
03:55 See how the orange polish spreads
03:57 and makes a perfect giraffe skin pattern.
04:01 Apply a top coat to seal the design.
04:03 I think this one is so cool.
04:04 I painted all my nails on the other hand using this technique.
04:08 I switched the orange polish with pink, green and red on some nails
04:11 and it turned out very funky.
04:13 I love it!
04:16 Next I made this gradient square design.
04:18 Again you need three shades of your desired color.
04:22 Here I am using three shades of pink.
04:24 Start off with the darkest tone and paint your entire nail with it.
04:28 Take a lighter shade and make a stripe
04:30 with the wider side of your polish brush.
04:33 Don't start dragging at a cuticle,
04:34 you need to leave some space on the base of your nail like me.
04:38 Now make a thinner stripe with the thin side of your polish brush.
04:41 Start even further away from the cuticle
04:43 and drag the stripe up to the tip of the nail.
04:46 This could already be a finished design,
04:48 but I want to take it further.
04:49 Draw a horizontal line with the middle shade like this
04:52 and don't forget to color the tip.
04:54 I like to make the corners a bit oval,
04:56 so here I am just making some small adjustments.
04:59 Lastly, make another horizontal line,
05:01 coloring just the tip of your nail with the darkest color.
05:05 Apply a fast drying top coat to bring the design together
05:08 and you end up with a very unique and fun manicure.
05:11 I love this one since it's so special and different.
05:14 The last nail art in this tutorial is the diagonal wave.
05:18 I am starting with two coats of peachy red as a base.
05:23 With a white polish make a diagonal wave shape across the nail.
05:27 Clean the edges with a q-tip soaked in acetone
05:30 and then fill the rest of the nail towards the tip with white.
05:33 This will give a nice blank canvas for my green nail polish,
05:36 which is not that pigmented.
05:38 On top of white, any polish looks super bright.
05:41 So just follow the white edge
05:42 and make a parallel green wave across the nail,
05:45 this time more towards the tip.
05:48 Clean the edges and apply a top coat to seal your design.
05:51 I like the colors that I chose,
05:52 they kind of remind me of watermelon.
05:55 This design is so cute and simple
05:57 and you can have loads of fun by switching it with different colors.
06:00 It would look great just as an accent nail
06:02 or you can paint all your nails this way.
06:05 I really enjoyed making these five designs,
06:07 but I have many more in my mind
06:08 and the best way to motivate me to film more of them
06:11 is to favorite this video and share it with your friends.
