Nautical Nails Tutorial!


Hiya! So this is my first tutorial on my blog! I did Nautical themed nails a few days ago!
So let's get right into it!
These are the colors I used: Sinful Colors"Midnight Blue", NYC "Big Apple Red Creme", Confetti "Wedding White", NYC "Extra Shiny Top Coat"
  1. Paint all your nails white EXCEPT your index finger( instead of index finger you can use your ring finger, but I prefer using my index finger.
  2. Paint your index finger/ring finger dark blue. I used Sinful Colors "Midnight Blue"
  3. ~~~~Let Dry~~~~
  4. After drying, use a red striper to carefully paint horizontal stripes on the white fingernails. I used NYC "Big Apple Red Creme"( If you don't have a red striper, use another color striper and just wipe off that polish and dip it in red polish.
  5. Now let's paint the anchor!
  6. Use a large dotting tool and make a white dot towards the top of the blue nail.
  7. Use a white striper to create a vertical line from the dot towards the bottom of the nail. Leave some space from the bottom though.
  8. Then use a white striper to create the hooked part of the anchor. Just start at the bottom of the white vertical line and create a curved line. Do the same on the other side.
  9. Use a white striper to create a small horizontal line under the white dot.
  10. Then use a smaller dotting tool and make a small dark blue dot right on top the white dot. This creates a "loop" look.
  11. Wait for all the nails to dry completely.
  12. Repeat steps 1-11 for the other hand.
  13. Lastly, apply a top coat.
Now you have beautiful Nautical themed nails!!!
You can do this design on your toes, just paint your big toe blue instead. :)
Hope you had a fun time making these! If you have questions, make sure to comment and I will reply right away! :D
