strawberry







If you would like to create strawberry nail art, then keep reading.

You will need:

~ A red nail polish ( I used HBC SanSan Nail Polish in Ruby Red)
~ A green nail polish (I used HBC SanSan Nail Polish in Sea Green)
~ A yellow nail polish ( I used HBC SanSan Nail Polish in Tropical Lemon)
~A dotting tool or a toothpick

You don't have to use these exact nail polishes. You could use any red, green and yellow nail polishes. If you don't have a dotting tool, you could use a toothpick or a pencil.

Here are the simple steps:

1. Apply the red nail polish to your nails. You may need 2 coats, depending on the opacity of the nail polish. 

Note: To prevent your nails from yellowing, you could apply a clear base coat first.

2. Next, dip the dotting tool or a toothpick into the green nail polish and draw a jagged edge at the tip of your nail.

3. Then, using a clean dotting tool or a toothpick again, dip into the yellow nail polish and apply tiny dots to the red part of your nail.

4.Once your strawberries are dry, you could apply a clear top coat, to make it shiny and keep your nail art last longer.


Enjoy!

m&m's... i like




Who doesn't know m&m's? "Melts in your mouth, not in your hand". I like that it is button shaped and comes in different colors. And it has a variety of fillings to choose from, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, crisped rice- my favorite, peanuts, almonds and more.

For this nail art, I mostly used HBC's SanSan nail polishes. Blue Sapphire for blue m&m's on my thumb. Tropical Lemon for yellow on my index fingernail, Ruby Red for red on my middle fingernail, Seal Brown for brown nail polish on my pinky. And for the orange m& m's on my ring fingernail, I used Caronia nail polish in Sun Kissed. To make those "m", I draw them using BNC 2-way nail art pen and brush.
