Baby feet nail tutorial

Hey everyone!

ITS A BOY!! I got inspired by the soon arrival of my godson :D 

So I wouldn't exactly call this a tutorial like I promised, but I will write out step by step how I designed my nails.

1. Apply your favorite base coat

2. Apply 1 coat of white as a primer/base

(I did this because the polishes I used were very translucent)

3. Gradient effect with green stripe

gradient using a foundation sponge. 

I sandwiched mint green in between sky blue

Rock sponge side to side till your happy with the color.

4. Sole of foot

With a dotting tool make a kidney bean shape

I used a medium size & dragged with a smaller dotting tool

5. Toes

With a dotting tool make 5 dots 

remember where the big toe is should be a tiny bit bigger

6. Apply favorite top coat

You don't have to use this many colors, I was just very indecisive. :P

Be creative & have fun with it. Let me know what your thoughts are.

Feel free to share your version if you try it.

Good luck!  Until next time smile; its good for the soul :)

8. Apply your favorite top coat (China Glaze - No Chip)

Tips 

• Let the base color dry a little bit - doesn't have to be completely. This prevents the base color from being picked up by the sponge while sponging the next layer
• If you don't have a nail pen or nail polish with a design brush; pour out a little bit of nail polish & use a tooth pick.
• Let scales dry before applying top coat or it will smudge or smear the scaled :(

I know used a lot of colors, my best friend & just couldn't decide :) You are more than welcome to use more or less colors. I listed the colors that I used above but you can use whatever colors you have. Be creative. Good luck!! Let me know how it goes! 'Til then smile cause its good for the soul :)
