Start off with a base coat. I used Essie’s “Grow Stronger” base coat.

Apply a white polish as a base color. I used Sally Hansen’s Hards as Nails Xtreme Wear “White on”.

Using a detail brush and some black nail polish or paint, paint three almond shapes on the nail. The one in the middle should be vertically straight while the two on the sides should be slightly slanted. I used Winstonia’s “Fine Line” brush and Apple Barrel’s “Black” acrylic paint.

With a white nail polish or paint and a striping brush, paint three lines going horizontally across the almond shapes. The horizontal lines should start directly above the bottom of the almond shapes and stop around the middle. I used Winstonia’s “Short” striping brush and Apple Barrel’s “White” acrylic paint.

Using the same striping brush paint two black horizontal lines going in between the white lines just created. I used Apple Barrel’s “Black” acrylic paint.

Lastly, apply a top coat. I used Essie’s “Gel-Setter” top coat.

Your Adidas Nails are finished!

Start off with a base coat. I used Essie’s “Grow Stronger” base coat.

Apply a base color of your choice. I used Sinful Color’s “Cinderella” and I needed about four coats to get it opaque.

Paint a straight line going vertically down the nail. I used Apple Barrel’s “White” acrylic paint and Winstonia’s “Short” stripping brush.

Paint two lines going diagonally across the line just created using the same materials.

Paint two small dashes coming off of each of the lines.

Using a small dotting tool and the same white color, place dots surrounding the snowflakes.

Apply a top coat. I used Essie’s “Gel-Setter” top coat.

Start off by applying a base coat. I used Essie’s “Grow Stronger” base coat.

Apply a sheer light pink as a base color. I used Maybelline’s Color Show “Born With it” and applied two coats. There are so many dupes for this color out there.

Using a white polish drag the brush from the bottle across the tip of the nail from one side to the other. This can be messy and not always perfect. But you can clean up with a Q-tip dipped in nail polish remover and perfect all the lines using a detail brush. I used “Sally Hansen’s Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear “White on” and Red Carpet’s “Detail Brush”.

Finish off with a top coat. I used Essie’s “Gel-Setter” top coat.

Your classic french tip nails are finished!

Start off with a base coat. I used Essie’s “Grow Stronger” base coat. Sorry for the weird marks on my nails, they were stained from my last manicure.

Apply a base color of your choice to all the nails. I used Sally Hansen’s Hard as Nails”Hard Bitten”. I absolutely love this color!

Using a white nail polish/acrylic paint, paint a semicircle towards the bottom of the nail or where the lunula is. I used Apple Barrel’s “White” acrylic paint and Red Carpet’s “Detail Brush”.

Using a black color, outline the round part of the semicircle. I used the same detail brush and Apple Barrel’s “Black” acrylic paint.

With the same materials, paint small lines coming off of the black line that was just created.

With a dotting tool place a black dot in the center of the white area. I used a medium sized dotting tool but it will depend on your nail size and the size of the eye painted for what looks best.

Lastly, apply a top coat. I used Essie’s “Gel-Setter” top coat.
