I've tried so many different nail brushes, and I wanted to share these with everyone. I found this set on Amazon, click here, for only $3.00. You can't beat it for that price! I mostly use the thin striper brushes, and I clean them with acetone when I'm done because regular polish remover does not get all the polish off. I find that they get the job done just fine! I have trimmed the tip of the brush a couple of times to make the brush strokes more precise, but, otherwise, the brushes are perfect! I recommend them for anyone who is looking to get in to nail art, and is looking for some affordable tools.

My absolute favorite polish is "Mod About You" by OPI. It is the perfect shade and consistency, and it lasts for almost a week without chipping! Comment below with your favorite polish colors.
Here is my Fourth of July look! As shown below, polishes used are (from left to right): Salon Perfect "laser beam" and "White out" nail art liners, Essie's Mezmerised, and OPI top coat.
OPI is my favorite top coat because I find that it causes the least amount of smudges in my designs. Comment below if you have another favorite brand of top coat! For this design I used Claires polish, Sally Hansen's Fergie Polish, and Salon Perfect black liner for the black detailing.
I've creates a criss cross design on my nails using nail tape! It's quite easy to do, here are the steps: 1. Apply base coat 2. Paint your nail desired color (for example, I painted my pointer finger hot pink to begin) 3. Let nails dry for about 10-15 minutes 4. Cut 1 inch long pieces of nail tape 5. Apple nail tape in desired pattern (feel free to be creative here!) 6. Paint desired color over the nail tape (for example, I painted white) 7. Remove tape quickly! Allowing top layer of paint to dry can make it harder to remove the tape, and your design may be a bit messy 8. Apply top coat 9. Repeat steps 1-8 for each nail! Link for nail tape!
