Happy 4th! - Fireworks Nail Art
I hope everyone is having a happy 4th of July! My 4th of July nails were starting to chip so I changed them up and did fireworks nail art. It was a suggestion from my husband and although I did them in a bit of a rush, I think they turned out okay! Sooo...it's time for some fireworks!
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Happy Independence Day!

Tutorial- Christmas Tree Nail Art with Hidden Mickeys
Happy Holidays from Pixie Dust Nails! I love painting Christmas trees onto my nails because it's pretty easy to do. Here's a tutorial in case you want to do some Christmas nail art too!
What you'll need:
- Nail polish to paint the background of your nail art (I used white)
- Various colors of nail polish for your Christmas Tree
- Tape (I used Scotch tape)
- Bobby pin or dotting tool
- Toothpicks
Step 1. Pick a color you want the background of your nail art to be. I picked white so that my trees would stand out on it. Paint your nails in that color.
Step 2. After the polish is completely dry, get two pieces of masking tape and place them onto your nail so that it creates a stencil of your triangle for your Christmas tree. Then paint the inside with the color you want your tree to be- I used lime green! The tape will prevent excess paint from getting onto the rest of your nail. Do this on as many nails as you want. I painted trees onto my ring finger and my thumb.
Step 3. After you paint in the shapes for the trees, let the paint dry and carefully remove the tape.
Step 4. Now you have the shapes for your trees! It's time for the fun part - decorating them! You can use a dotting tool or the end of a bobby pin to paint on dots for your ornaments. You can use whatever colors you like. Using a toothpick, I painted on ears to some of my ornaments to make hidden Mickeys. I used another toothpick to paint a star on the top.
Step 5. For the nails you don't paint trees on, you can use your dotting tool or bobby pin to paint on garland. In the end, you have some festive nails!
And that's how you can do some Christmas nail art for the holidays! I hope everyone has a merry and magical time with family and loved ones!

Hidden Mickey and Dots Mani
I was looking through photos yesterday and stumbled across this mani that I did several months ago! I didn't get the best photos which is why I never posted it but I figured I'd go ahead and share them anyway!
These were rather simple to do- just pick a color you like for the base and then two bright colors to do the dots at the tips of your nails. You can use a dotting tool or a even a bobby pin to do the dots. For the center dot on my ring fingernail and thumbnail, I added two more dots (ears) to make hidden Mickeys.
