Watercolor Nails

Cara's Nails

I have seen watercolor nails floating around lately and decided it was time to give it a try. If you are looking for an easy tutorial on this mani I found a helpful one from Beauty Geeks. This was my first attempt and I think it went pretty well!! The only advice I would give is to not over do it with the color layering. Watercolors, even on your nails, are supposed to be light and airy.


Polishes I used:
Revlon Color Stay-Costal Surf
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear- Going Green
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear- Lacey Lilac

These nails were done with just a dotting tool and a striping brush. This was my first time doing flowers by hand, and I'm pretty happy with the result :)

Ulta has their brand of nail lacquer on sale for $2 each right now! I picked up Sun-Sational yesterday. I would have gotten many more, but I already own 7 of their colors!
