Spun Sugar Nail Art Tutorial

So today I'm trying something that I've never tried before.....Spun Sugar Nail Art (",)
This is a relatively easy nail art technique and yet I managed to screw this one up a bit.
I would definitely try this technique again, it's fun and simple and you can go nuts experimenting with different colours.

The only snag I had with this nail art was that I had difficulty getting the the lines to go over the nails thinly. Mine came out a bit blotchy, but I'm still pleased with the end result.

Nail polish used:

Tip Top Nail Addict - Fantacy

Tip Top NailChic - Surfer Girl

Tip Top NailChic - Cha Cha Cha

Tip Top NailChic - Sexy Bikini

 

Create your own Matte Black Polish.

I've always wanted a Matte Black Polish, but couldn't ever seem to find one. Since I already had
a Matte Topcoat I decided to turn it into a Matte Black.

What you'll need:

- Clear Matte Topcoat
- Black eyeshadow
- Funnel
- Orange stick

Let's begin:

Use the orange stick to loosen up the eyeshadow. Make sure you have enough eyeshadow to make your polish opaque in one coat, otherwise it might not dry properly and you'll be left with goopy polish on your nails.

Use the funnel to get the eyeshadow into the polish container, replace the cap and shake it until everything is mixed. If you see big pieces of eyeshadow sticking to the brush, use the orange stick to mix the eyeshadow in with the topcoat.

Apply a base coat to protect your nails from staining, especially with dark polishes. Apply one coat of  your Matte Black and Voilà! your Done!

Quick  Tip: When choosing the eyeshadow, try to use one that has the least amount of sparkly bits.

Have Fun!
