DIY Nail Art•NOTD•Tutorial

Easy Nail Art for Beginners

January 6, 2015
[button link=”https://www.hairsprayandhighheels.net/about/disclosure-content-uses/” target=”_blank” color=”D”  align=”right”]SPONSORED[/button]  
 
Happy New Year! I’m excited to kick of 2015 with some Easy Nail Art for Beginners. New Year, New You, right? I’ve made it a goal this year to share more nail art ideas with you all that can be done quickly and easily right at home with minimal effort and tools. Today we’re going to get into some nail stripers and have some fun with three different designs you can try out.

Sally Beauty Nail Stripers | Easy Nail Art for Beginners

Of course, when I get on a nail art kick I have to run out and grab a bunch of new goodies. I went to Sally Beauty and picked up a bunch of the Stripe Rite nail stripers to get started. Colors I used in each manicure: Glitter & Paint

Easy Nail Art for Beginners

I also grabbed some Orly shades in Luxe, Naughty, and Shine On Crazy Diamond so that I would have some base coats to get started with. I wanted to make sure that I had some shades that would be awesome for the season and that I could wear on their own if need be. Plus, glitter is a must have for all occasions, am I right?

I have three different manicures for you that are all super easy and I promise, even if you have never attempted nail art you can pull these off.

Easy Nail Art for Beginners Abstract Nails

For this abstract manicure you’re going to choose a base color, I went with Orly Naughty, paint two coats on your fresh nails. Grab your white Stripe Rite and randomly draw lines over your base color. I didn’t re-dip into the polish, I wanted the lines to start bright and get lighter so I just used what was on the brush for each hand. It’s super easy and you can really do any direction you like and they will look perfect.

 Easy Nail Art for Beginners Negative Space Manicure

This negative space mani is probably my favorite of all three. Negative space manicures have been popping up everywhere and are definitely on trend for the season so I wanted to try my hand at it. This one is SO easy it’s impossible to mess it up. I didn’t use a base a coat so I could have that negative space in there on clean nails. Just grab a couple of your Stripe Rite stripers. I chose black and white and four different glitters. Randomly polish on your lines, starting with the darkest first and just continue until you’ve covered as much of the nail as you want. So easy.

Easy Nail Art for Beginners Lines

And last but certainly not least, we have the lines manicure. This one you’re going to want a base coat. I used one coat of Orly Luxe for mine. I then took my black nail striper and drew 4-5 lines on each nail. With my white striper, I drew smaller lines on top of the black. Finish it off with some glitter, like Orly Shine On Crazy Diamond and you are all set.

These manicures are perfect for any beginner. Nothing is wrong and it’s all open to your interpretation. I know lots of folks get intimidated by nail stripers but just follow my lead and you will have super cute manicures in no time for a perfect New Year, New You look!

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣

In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣
⁣
The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

While the majority of homicide victims are men, women are the primary victims of intimate partner homicide, including homicide–suicide events.⁣

Drug dealers get longer sentences than rapists. ⁣

Breonna Taylor’s murderers still haven’t been arrested. ⁣
⁣
Globally, 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner⁣
⁣
#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣

Would you ever say the things you say to yourself Would you ever say the things you say to yourself to another woman? ⁣
⁣
I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣
⁣
So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣
⁣
Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
