How to Awesome-ize your nails

Sometimes when you feel like: "ugh, I don't want to do anything. I just want to lay in my bed/sofa/washing-machine." I always, well not always but a lot of the times, grab all my nail polish stuff and sit down for about an hour. This is the way I can entertain myself, without thinking about school or other things that might stress me out. I just set my mind on blanc, and paint my nails. 

The thing is that I usually don't paint my nails one colour, I always try to make it into a creative little art piece. I started doing that a looong time ago, just for fun, but now I feel like I need to outreach the last time and make it look even nicer this time. 

At this moment my nails are light blue, with a sort of purple coating with glitters[I Love glitters!] which makes the light blue, dark blue. So you can easily mix up lots of colours together without destroying your nail polish!

Now i will give you simple tips how to do it yourself!

- If you have a left-over eyeliner brush, use it! it is very very useful, because it is usually a smaller brush than the actual nailpolish brush. Now you can make tiny stripes on your nails, ISN'T THIS FUN!

- Try to keep you nailpolish at a dark and cold spot. This sounds weird of course, I know I didn't believe it in the first place, but it seems that in summer nailpolish gets all sticky, so coldness is better for nailpolish to keep it smooth! [SILKY-smooth!]

- The more nailpolish, the more FUN!

Useful Patterns:

- horizontal stripes [Think: every stripe a different colour!]

- vertical stripes

- diagonal stripes

- tiny hearts [this is harder than you might think! Only now you realise that your hand shakes just a tiiiny little bit!]

- polkadots

- the pattern you usually make on a apple pie, i don't know what it's called. 

This is sort of the pattern I mean, apple-pie-pattern!

So that is basically the easy, basic stuff you can make up yourself right?

Then there's this 'nail stamp' which looks like this:

So the round metal thing has patterns in it, you apply the nail polish and scrape it off with the scraper and then VERY QUICK [ so the nail polish doesn't dry'] you stamp the pink stamp on the nail polish, and then onto your nail. Make sure though, that you have a base layer before applying the stamp onto your nail! It's very fun, because if you do it right, it looks kinda proffesional! But trust me, it didn't work out for me until 3 tries! so don't think you're a loser and can't coop with the nail stamp, it needs time!

If you think I really really missed out on some cool tips, or advices please comment! [I appreciate feedback, AND I would also like to improve my nailpolishing skills!]
