Easy Nail Design and I'm Back!

Easy Dotted Nail Design
Hello everyone. Guess who is finally back? Me! After being absent for quite a long time I decided that it's about time to return to blogging and vlogging. I guess you are probably wondering why I haven't posted in such long time so let me explain. The very first reason is that May( the last time I posted was in May) was a pretty busy month for me and like that wasn't enough my old computer died so I had to wait till my new one was ready. Though that was a good and bad thing at the same time  because I really needed an upgrade so now I have a pretty powerful computer and not only I can play many games but the whole blogging and vlogging part of my life will improve because all of the programs that I need work much, much better now. Speaking of games, any other beauty blogger out there who are also gamers? I need game suggestions but I'm currently obsessed with Assassin's Creed, I finished the 4th and now I'm playing 2nd. 

Let's get back to the topic. To be honest the main reason why I was MIA is that I've reached to a point where I felt that I HAD to blog and wasn't doing it because I really wanted it. I didn't like the pressure that I was feeling so I decided to take a long time off to kind recharge my batteries and remove that pressure from myself. Although I wasn't blogging I was still answering to any comments that were left on my posts and videos. On side note, on July 5th was my birthday and I'm now officially 22 years old and I have one more academic year till I graduate from University, waaat? The time flew by so fast.

So now that I'm finished with University exams I feel that I'm ready to come back and for first post I thought I would show you a really easy manicure idea. The cool thing about it is that you can use any color combination you want and it will look good on short and long nails. You also don't need many tool just 2 different in size dotting tools or something that can make tiny and medium dots.

Easy Dotted Nail Design Tutorial
So as you can see it's a 4 step manicure and I think that the pic tutorial is pretty much self explanatory. If you have shorter nails you can either make the dots smaller so they can fit or make fewer. For example my nails are now shorter and I stopped with the big dots placing at the point like in picture #3. Please let me know what you think of this manicure and also if you have any blog post requests let them in the comments below.

Easy Holiday Manicure

Easy Holiday/ Christmas Manicure
Easy Holiday Manicure

Hello ladies. Guess who is getting back to posting more regularly? Meeee ( at least I hope and plan so). Today for you I have a very cute, easy and at the same time fast manicure idea for holidays. You need a red and white nail polish or as in my case white acrylic paint because it's much easier to work with plus it drys really fast. If you wonder where you can buy, you should look at your local craft store or on ebay, on ebay acrylic paint for nails is extremely cheaper. Also you will need nail art tape or you can cut scotch tape into 4 very thin pieces and a dotting tool or toothpick.

To start apply your favorite red nail polish and let it dry completely. I chose a simple slightly dark red( I know that in pictures it looks very bright but trust me it's not that bright).
Next step is to place the tape pieces to create this flower/snowflake. Place one vertically, one horizontally and 2 diagonally on each side of the vertical on (hope it makes sense). Now take you white paint and make two lines, forming a triangle tip between tapes and the fill in the rest of the space. If you are confused, I made this picture and hopefully it will help you understand how to do it. Let the paint to dry a bit and then remove the tapes. To complete the design do medium or small white dots on the tips of the rest of nails as well as on the ring finger. And of course the last step is to apply your top coat.

I hope you like the design and don't forget to let me know in the comments what you think of this design. Also I would like to wish Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate. Oh and stay tuned on my blog as I have many reviews coming up in the next 2 weeks.

Lollipop Inspired Nail Design in Blue

Lollipop inspired nail design
Hello ladies. Today I thought I would show you what nail design I've been rocking this past week. It reminds me of round lollipop candy and also kinda of water marble effect. As you can see, I used blue and white but you can use any color you want instead of blue; it will look great with any color. Also I think it's a great nail design for short nails and quite easy to create if you have steady hand. If you recreate this design feel free to tweet me @AnneColt the picture of your work, I would love to see  :)... As always I have a video tutorial for you, in case you want to do this design on your nails and I would appreciate if you could like the video and subscribe to my channel :)

NOTD: Cute and Pink

Easy pink and cute nail design
Hope you are having a great weekend.Today I will show this nail design which I did quite a while ago and it's perfect for short and long nails. Also you can use any color combination you want but with pinks it looks cute and girly,in my opinion...I will try to do couple more designs for short nails because mine are short now and I know that many girls don't have as long nails as I usually have.

Here is the video tutorial for this design and I would appreciate if you would like and comment on my videos, I love getting feedback from you guys :) And if you have nail design requests leave them in the comments.

One Stroke Flower with Chains Nail Design

One Stroke Flower with Chains Nail Design
Hey girls, hope you are having a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate it today. Today I will show the nail design I've been rocking this week. It's a really cute and girly design; I don't know about you but I love it.
It's not a hard design to recreate and you can choose any color you want for the tips but I think that baby pink looks nice. You can even do it without the one stroke flower petals and it will still look cute.
As always I have a video tutorial for you in case you want to see how to achieve it step by step. Also if you recreate this or any of my designs I would love to see a picture of your creation, you can easily tweet it to me @AnneColt.

NOTD: Purple Butterfly

French Manicure with Purple Butterfly Nail Design
Today for me is a kinda lazy day, well at least till afternoon when I will clean my house lol. I decided to show what nail design I've been rocking this whole week. The previous Saturday, if I remember well, I had decided to do just simple french manicure because I really missed it. But when I was on YouTube later that day I saw a tutorial for nail design you see by a lovely youtuber I'm subscribed to. I decided to recreate it, so here I am sharing it with you.
It would look even better if I had the same brush that the girl used in the video for the one stroke wings of the butterfly but still, I think it turned out pretty cute. Something random I noticed while doing this design, gradient effect with acrylic paints it's way way easier than with nail polish. Anyways, you can see the tutorial here.

Gradient Effect with Beaded Pattern Nail Design

Gradient Effect with Beaded Pattern Nail Design
Hi everyone! Today I have a nail tutorial for you. Quite a while ago I saw a manicure that Lucy ( Lucy's Stash ) did and I really liked those kinda "chains" of beads she had so I thought I would include them in my manicure but over a pink gradient.
Unfortunately my camera didn't pick up the colors very accurately and you can't tell very clearly the gradient effect. I used a baby pink,orange and hot pink for the gradient effect. 
I quite like the final result of this design and trust it looks way better in person than at those pictures ( damn you silly camera lol ). 
Anyways, if you want to see how to achieve this design click here to watch my YouTube video tutorial :)

Top 5 Nail Designs of 2012

Top 5 Nail Designs
Hey dolls! How was your weekend? If you haven't noticed I've changed my blog's look, let me know in the comments what you think :). Today I will post my top 5 favorite nail designs that I created in 2012! It was hard to choose because I really like every single design I did, obviously :P. Those 5 are the ones I love the most so let's start the countdown:
#5 : Winter Inspired Nail Design| Tutorial Here
This is my latest nail design that I created a week or so ago. It features snowflakes and a little cute snow man.
Winter Inspired Nail Design
#4 : Pink with White Rose Nail Design 
This nail design I create and was planning on uploading on YouTube but I've lost two files and the tutorial wouldn't be complete without them. I did a guest post with tutorial for this design but I can't find the link :(. Do you think I should do a video tutorial for this?
Pink with White Rose Nail Design
#3 : True Blood Inspired Nail Design| Tutorial here
This is one of my Halloween designs. It turned out rather good which I wasn't expecting to be honest.

#2 : Black Triangular French Tip with Blue glitter Nail Design| Tutorial here
Even though I think this design is rather easy for me to create, I love it! I came up with this one while I was getting ready to recreate a nail design I saw on YouTube.This happens to me a lot, I sit down to create one design and I came up with a completely different one lol.

#1 : Angry Birds Space Inspired Nail Design| Tutorial here
I have to admit, this is probably one of the hardest nail designs I ever did but at the same time it's one of the best designs I created, at least in my opinion. I'm a huge Angry Birds fan and the Space edition really impressed, so I just had to create a design inspired by the Angry Birds Space artwork :)

NOTD and tutorial

Triangular french manicure with blue glitter
Hello my beauties. How are you? Hows your weekend? I'm kinda sad because I lost 2 followers here, probably because I haven't posted in 4 days and if that's the reason I find it ridiculous :( Anyways, today I have a nail design to show you, this is the one I had on this week :). I wanted to recreate another nail design I saw on youtube because I was out of ideas but then when I started doing that design I came up with this one. I think this is quite easy to create and doesn't require any kind of special skills.

NOTD: Glitter Flower and Tutorial

Hello beauties. Sorry for the lack of posts but I couldn't find time to blog between Uni,dog-sitting and real life.Though I promise I will have new post this weekend plus one or two new YouTube videos so be sure to subscribe to my channel to be notified when I will upload new videos!
Anyways, today I will show you the nail art I did on my nails for this week and I have a tutorial as well. I was inspired by a great nail artist that I follow on instagram (bedizzle), by the way I'm annecolt on instagram if you want follow me there too :D.
The nail design looks like part of flower and I got many compliments on this design.It might seem tricky to do but in fact it's very easy though it might take some time,here's the design:
Glitter Flower Nail Design

Personally I love,love this design!!! The pinkish color is La Femme nail polish in Mojo, the glitter is OPI Bring on the Bling and the black is acrylic paint. And like I said I have a tutorial for you,photo tutorial :)
Glitter Flower Nail Design Tutorial

1: After you apply your base coat, choose any color you want and paint you whole nail. I would suggest you to choose a color that will contrast with black and that way your design will pop.
2: Now with a glitter polish of your choice,in my case OPI Bring on the Bling, I created kinda gradient effect on the half of the nail. The amount of glitter you will apply is up to you.
3: Next I created a black line in the middle of the nail using black acrylic paint and a stripper brush.
4: For the next step I created  6-7 lines which have the same start point as the one I first created. The amount of lines will depend on how wide your nail is and how many&how big you want the petals to be.
5: And I'm almost done. For the next step I first connected the lines will a curvy line and then filled in the rest of the nail will black paint.
6: To finish the design I applied top coat and that's it :D
