You alwaysask me to film more cute and girly nail art tutorials, so I think you'll love this one!We're making adorable stitched nails, which are very easy and quick to make, but lookfantastic in the end. Ready? Let's go! Let's kick off by applying a base coat toprotect our nails from staining. Once this is dry apply 2 layers of medium pink polishon all the nails. I like this shade so much, true Barbie pink right?Now we need to draw on different shapes, which will be our stitched patches on the nails. For example I will make hearts, squares, triangles and circles. I think the easiest way to makea perfect heart and triangle shape is using a tape. Fold a piece of tape in half and drawon half of a heart shape or half of a triangle. Cut the heart and the triangle out and unfoldthe tape. Place your stencil on the nail. As you can see I am making two hearts andone triangle. Apply a white polish on the sponge and dab the color on the nail, or youcan just color the shapes using a polish brush. Quickly remove the tape while the polish isstill wet and you're left with a perfect heart, triangle, or any other symmetrical shape thatyou want to make. Some forms are very easy to make just using a polish brush. So on mythumb for example I am making a part of the square like so and on the pointer a part ofthe circle. You can also draw some shapes using a small paint brush. I bought this onein a craft store. On my pinky I am drawing a part of the square on the top corner ofthe nail and a circle in a bottom corner. So here is how your nails should look so far. Remember that you can draw any forms you like and you can also use another color insteadof white. OK,
now we need to draw some patterns on our white patches. I'll make some stripes,dots and hearts using two different shades of pink. One will be the same Barbie pinkas I have for the base and one a bit darker. On the middle finger I went for pink stripeson the square patch and dots on the circle. On the pinky I am making hearts using a toothpickand a dotted pattern. I like to use a Barbie pink to make the pattern on one white patchand a darker pink polish on the other white patch. On the pointer I made some stripesin the triangle and hearts in the circle. On the thumb, I decided to fill the heartwith polka dots and the square with hearts. Here is how the nails look so far! I thinkthey are super adorable already, but we still need to make some final touches. Using a smallpaint brush, a striper or even a toothpick, outline the edges of all the shapes. I amusing a black polish for this, but you can use a grey one if you want a softer look. Just make thin lines on the edges of all your forms and your nails should look like this. Lastly we need to make stitches by drawing short black lines on the edges of all ourshapes. Now the hearts, squares, triangles and circles will look like they are stitchedonto our nails. I like how stitches give that cartoon-ish feel. I am using a paint brushfor this but a toothpick would work just as great. And this is how our nails look whenstitched with cute different shapes! Pretty awesome right? Let the nails dry for at leasthalf an hour and then apply a fast drying top coat to seal and protect the design. Nowthe nails are finished and absolutely stunning. I think they look so cute, girly and unique. You can totally use different colors and make countless variations from this nail art idea,just have fun with it.
