Nail Myth 1

I found this cool website about myths of nails. So, I figured every so often I’ll share some of the myths. I will also credit the website each time I use their tips.

“Myth 1 : Eating gelatin will strengthen weak nails. While it’s true that nails are made of a protein called keratin and that gelatin too is a protein, there’s never been any scientific proof that gelatin does anything to strengthen nails. By the same token, despite the fact that there is trace amounts of calcium in the nail, downing more milk or other calcium-rich products won’t do anything to strengthen nails either. Overall good nutrition, including adequate protein, is the way to go for strong nails.”

I usually hear the complete opposite, not from any websites or anything, just through word of mouth. I heard that the calcium-rich diet is really good for your hair and nails. So you decide which you want to believe. Personally I believe the website it definitely makes since.

Free Hand Lady Bugs

Okay so I Figured Id start this blog with an easy design Lady Bugs. 

For the base I used Kleancolor Nail Lacqure - Color number 81 Red Alert For the tips and wings I used Shiny Color Nail Art Polish ( the brush is thin  you could always use any thin paint brush)- Black 

For the dots on my wings I used Magi Nail Art Pens- Black

Step 1: Paint your base coat red. You may need to add more than one coat; I had to use two coats. (Don’t worry if you make little mistakes everyone does)

 

 Step 2: You paint your tips black you can make the black as thick as you want. But try not to make to thin because the tips are the lady bugs head. 

I use my "decorative" nails which are the ring and thumb fingers, but you can use which ever fingers you prefer.

 Step 3: Paint a straight black like down the middle to separate your wings.

   Step 4: Add the dots for the wings. (I apologize that my polka dots are hard to see)

 Voila Cute little lady bugs :-)  

 Thanks for the fun ladies please have a wonderful day
