I See You: Easy Eyeball Nail Design


Halloween is getting close and hopefully you have your costume, if not...get it together!! Even if you don't have your costume you can still do your nails. Here is an easy Halloween nail design for any costume.  Eyes go with everything...they're the new black. Complete directions at the end. Also if you recreate this design feel free to hashtag me on Instagram at #lazyblueorchids. I hope you enjoy!!! 

Nail Polishes I Used
KleenColor: Pink Sleepers(67), KleenColor: White (4), KleenColor: Neon Green (17), KleenColor: Sea Ice (113), KleenColor: Brown (51), KleenColor: Light Red (79), KleenColor: Charcoal (6), Wet N Wild: Wild Shine (401A)
Tools
1. Nail Brushes
2. Nail Dotter (I made mine by putting a nail into an eraser of a pencil...creative lol)
3. 100% Acetone Nail Polish Remover
Tip: Alow nails to dry a minute before applying another coat of nail polish

Tip: Don't worry about getting the circles perfect...nobody's perfect ;)
Tip: When creating the circles use a stippling motion.
Voila 

Directions
Step 1: Paint a thin layer of your base coat on all your nails. KleenColor: Pink Sleepers(67)
Step 2: Paint two thin coats of white on all your nails. KleenColor: White (4)
Step 3: Put the nail polish you will be using for the eye color on a piece of plastic or a palette. I used KleenColor: Neon Green (17), KleenColor: Sea Ice (113), KleenColor: Brown (51) (You can use only one color if you like).
Step 4: Dip your dotting tool in the nail polish and then start to create a circle on your nails by using a stippling motion.
Step 5: Allow them to dry
Step 6: Do the same as Step 4 with you black color except don't create a big circle. KleenColor: Charcoal (6)
Step 7: Put some red nail polish on a piece of plastic or a palette and dip your nail brush into it. Then start to create thin lines on the white parts of your nails. KleenColor: Light Red (79)
Step 8: Follow Step 7 but now add a small white area to the black circles on your nails. This will create the illusion of light reflecting off of the eye. KleenColor: White (4)
Step 9: Apply your top coat.Wet N Wild: Wild Shine (401A) 
Step 10: Scare people!!! ( I only added this step because I wanted it to be an even 10 steps lol)

Bye :)
