(Another!) Anchor Tutorial

I posted this nail design a few days ago and let me just say, I was not expecting the response I got. It's my most liked photo on instagram (by far!) I was in complete shock honestly. I wasn't planning on making a tutorial because Summer is so close to being over and I figured no one would bother but I actually got some people asking for one so I decided to go for it. 

Anchor Tutorial

Some of you might recall the anchor nails I did a while back:

Evidently this picture turned out to be one of my most stolen pictures. I constantly find it on fashion Instagram pages and such. Anyway I was asked to make a tutorial for the anchor so that's what I have for you today.

Anchor Nail Art Part II Tutorial

Peacock Nails Pictorial

One of the first pictorials I made was for a peacock design. Let me just say, it was really bad and dark. Actually most of the like 4 pictorials I've made are bad, so I'm going to try and redo them all. So, here is my totally new, redone peacock nail design. 

STEP ONE: 

Paint a base color. I used Essie's Navigate Her.

STEP TWO:

Use a thin brush and black paint/polish, make short strokes to create the feather. 

STEP THREE:

Again, use a thin brush. Paint short strokes with golden paint/polish. 

STEP FOUR:

Repeat step one, over the gold paint. (This step is just so the colors blend together nicely)

STEP FIVE:

Paint a small, gold oval toward the end of the feather.

STEP SIX:

Repeat step five, but with light blue paint/polish.

STEP SEVEN: 

Finally, paint a dark blue "C" shape inside the light blue.

I hope this was somewhat helpful. If you try this, let me know, I would love to see! 

Oh yeah, and here's a simplified version:
