Midsummer Night's Dream

This nail tutorial is inspired by William Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. It's always been my favorite play! I also love the movie (A Midsummer Night's Dream) and how they portray the fairies. They are little sparkly floating lights that just kind of appear and gracefully float on the wind. Since I love the play and it's midsummer, I thought it would be the perfect nail art tutorial to do! This is the basic diagram of how to do it.

You're going to need:
Silvery purple (You can use a shimmery blue also.)
Shimmery Green
Bright Yellow
Shimmery White
Gold Glitter Topcoat
Clear Topcoat

To start off, remove any polish from your nails and clean and clip them. Push your cuticles back as well. I keep my nails short most of the time, but that's just personal preference. Wash your hands after you're done with all of that.
Paint on one thin coat of the silvery purple color on to all of your nails. Wait for it to dry and then paint a thin coat of the shimmery green on. Once that is dry, use a small paper plate to mix 3 drops of the bright yellow color with 4-5 drops of the shimmery white color. Use a ball point pen to dot this onto the right side of your nail. You want the dots to start out wide at the bottom, and then thin out towards the middle and then flare out towards the top. Kind of in the shape of this parenthesis ). Once that has mostly dried, dot the gold glitter top coat (with the ball point pen) onto the yellow dots. Once dry, cover with the top coat. I also used a quick dry coat.
