Lightning Nails

Request by rabid-angry-llama: Lightning Nails!

This is actually one of my favorites so far, it is very simple to do. If your hand shakes when painting your nails then this is the nails for you!

Step one: 

Paint your nails black 

Step two:

For this tutorial I used a shimmery metallic blue and a napkin. You can use a dark blue or a silver to create the same effect. 

Place a drop of the metallic blue color on a piece of paper and tap in with a little piece of napkin.

Step Three: 

Tap the piece of napkin on your nails, do it all around the nail but make sure you can still see the black underneath it. The napkin is used to give it texture without covering up the black.

It should look like this, like a blue and black night sky. 

Step four: 

Now is time to draw the lightning. Using a thin brush, draw shaky lines down your fingernail and then from that original line make smaller lines coming out of it.  

Step five: 

Repeat the same step on all your nails, make sure that each nail looks a little different.

Step six: 

For a final touch add a little silver glitter to the lighting but not too much, this will make them sparkle a little. 

Thank you for your request, I had a lot of fun doing it :)
