plastic bag nail tutorial

as everything is finally starting to look like spring, i love all of the flowers everywhere! there aren't may around Fort Collins, but these are especially pretty. as i was taking pictures, i got inspired for a nail tutorial with a new method. 

this is a different way of doing nails, it is sort of like creating nail stickers. 

1. turn a zip lock bag inside out. liberally trace your nails and then flip it right side out. then, paint a thick layer of base coat over a nail. this will come in handy when you feel the while thing off. 
2. over the base coat, start painting your design. for this, i painted the outlines to an abstract design. 
3-6. fill in the design. paint two coats of each color.
7. with tweezers, peel off the polish. be careful, it can rip!!
8. trim the outside of the sticker. paint a think layer of base coat on your nail and press the sticker on to your nail. 
9. trim more excess off of the nail. 
10. clean up the last of the excess and cover with a top coat!
