DIY Dream catcher nails

Nail art can sometimes seem complicated when you just see the finished manicure, but once you read through these step by step nail art tutorials you will realize just how easy it is to do it yourself. Nail art is a fun, simple way to be creative and dangerously addictive! 


DIY manicure – what you’ll need:
-  Cotton balls or cotton pads
-  Cuticle groomer or cuticle cream
-  Nail clipper and nail file (try to avoid metal files as they can be damaging)
-  Nail buffer
-  Nail polish colors and nail art tools
 Basics
-  Start out by cleaning your nails with cotton balls and nail polish remover. 
-  Gently push your cuticles back with your cuticle groomer or apply cuticle cream. Don’t cut your cuticles yourself!
-  Clip your nails to your desired length
- After cutting your nails, make the edges smooth with a nail file. 
-  Continue to smooth your nails by using a nail buffer on the surface of your nails.
( buffing your nails makes your manicure last longer ;) )



Step 1
- File and buff your nails

Step 2- Apply a base coat 

Step 3
- Apply white nail polish as your base nail color. Let it dry then apply another coat.

Step 4
-  Take your black nail art polish and draw a ' X' . Let it dry.

Step 5
- Draw a couple more ' X's '  ( the trick is to make them connect to create a abstract affect )

Step 6
- Repeat steps 1-5 on each nail 

Enjoy you new cute nails!; )
