I used to do my own nails back in high school. I loved nail art, my mom even got me books to give me techniques. But I got too busy with “the real world” I couldn’t be bothered anymore. It was always strictly red or black or the occasional other color.
Now that I’m cutting costs, I’m putting manicures and pedicures on a strictly DIY (Do It Yourself) basis.
Here’s some very basic nail art I did a couple of weeks back! Enjoy!
Nail color
- MAC Hibiscus
- MAC Kid Orange
What you need:
- Cotton balls
- Nail polish remover
- Tape
- Toothpick
- Patience
Assign which color you want as your tip color and apply it first. Practice patience and let it dry before doing anything else.
Put tape on top. About 1/3 of your nail! Use a toothpick to make sure it’s secure up until the edges of your nails.
Remove the remaining color using nail polish remover. You can use a cotton-covered toothpick to be more precise.
Apply the second color. It’s just like painting a room and using tape to cover the stuff you don’t want to get paint on.
Here is the finished product with an America’s Next Top Model pose <3
Enjoy doing your own nails and send me a link to your own nail art! Who knows, baka kopyahin ko kayo! Or if you’re lucky, baka kopyahin kayo ni Tito Sotto. Charot!

I love reading your blog!
Hi Saab! Love your nailart! Here’s mine: http://jessieabimer.blogspot.com/2012/06/love-new-york-x-tribal-nail-art.html
Galing!!
Thank you for sharing your idea. :) I love and used to do nail arts too. I also use toothpicks and cotton buds. Haha, I sometimes use some nail art tool like those pen-like black nail polishes. It helps it doing some details on animal prints nail art. And if I will use different color, I cut some of the hair(?) of old brush of nail polish for a thinner result. :)
These are some of my works.

nice lipstick! <3 it! what shade is that? :)
MAC Candy Yum Yum :)
I’m on a DIY manipeds pledge, too! Kakatamad nga lang minsan, but this looks fun!
I like to play with yellow nail polish and blue nail polish. I think these are the coolest colors since it brings out your individuality.
Ate Saab, may alam ka ba na store na nagtitinda ng pang nail art? I want to try kasi e.
Beauty Bar?:)
I used to do my own nail arts too. But like you I’m busy with the “real world” too. Hahaha.
