Are you ready to learn how to create these five cute designs only using a toothpick?
All of them are very easy and fast to make. Hey guys! You asked for it, so here it is
- third episode of the toothpick nail art. I'm going to show you five, actually six designs
that you can create only by using a toothpick. The designs we are making are heart balloon
in the clouds, kisses, heart leopard print, puppy paws, dotted exclamation mark and dotted
heart designs. Quite some hearts going on there right? Well, Valentine's Day is just
around the corner, so go grab some toothpicks and let's perk up those nails.
You guys know the drill: start off with a base coat to protect your nails against staining.
Especially if you're using darker colors or strong pinks, this step is absolutely essential!
Hi! I'm mister toothpick, friends call me douchepick. Whatever. I love nail art and
we're gonna make some designs today. Now our nails are ready and we can jazz them
up with some color. The first design we're making is a beautiful
heart balloon in the sky. Start by painting your nail in blue. I need to apply two coats
to get an opaque result. Now, we're ready for the heart, but before I'll show you some
tips on how to work with a toothpick to get smaller or larger dots. All toothpicks are
very pointy on the ends, which is great when you need to make small dots. When you want
the dots to be bigger, just cut the end like this. Since the toothpicks I am using have
this triangular shape, I also need to cut them along like so. If cutting the end of
the toothpick isn't enough, and you want your dots to be even bigger dip the toothpick into
the polish and let it dry, dip it again and let it dry. You'll see how the drop of the
polish on the tip of the toothpick is getting bigger and bigger. When the size is perfect,
draw a heart, by making a v shape. To get the color right, I need to go over it again,
but you can skip the step if your background blue isn't that dark. When you're happy with
the heart, draw a thin black string hanging down. We'll come back to the balloon later
when it's dry. Meanwhile let's dress the sky up with some fluffy clouds. Just dip toothpick
in white and make bunches of dots close together to form clouds. Make as many clouds as you
like, I made many as you can see. They are just so cute! Now it's time to give the balloon
a 3D feel by drawing a tiny white stripe on one side. Apply a layer of a fast drying top
to finish off this adorable design. I think this one will be perfect for the Valentine's
or just any other day. You can wear it as an accent, with the rest of the nails painted
solid blue, or you can make these cute clouds on all the nails!
Next design is perfect for all the animal lovers! Start off by applying two coats of
this iridescent pinky nude shade. I really love this color for every day, especially
when I don't have time to make a proper manicure. I would just paint one layer of this polish
and it makes such a big difference. Apply some black polish diagonally on the tip of
the nail like this. If you got some polish on the skin around the nail, clean it with
a q-tip soaked in acetone. Now start making red dots on the edge of the black line. I
want to make small bows. Therefore, I am making pairs of two dots together, leaving some space
between the bows. Now we are going to make three adorable puppy paws. As before with
the heart, dip the toothpick into the polish and let it dry, dip it again and let it dry.
see how our drop of polish on the tip of the toothpick is getting bigger. Now you can make
three white dots like this. Besides each of them we need to make three tiny dots. For
these super small dots, you don't need to cut the toothpick, just use its original pointy
tip. How amazingly adorable is this one!? Ahhh, I can't even... It's just better than
words. Lastly, apply a top coat to protect this gorgeous design. I've always wanted a
puppy; now at least I have this sweet puppy design on my nails.
For the third design I'll show you how to make a funky heart leopard print nails. I
am first applying two layers of white polish, because the orange I'm using on top, pops
out so much more with the white under. To make a heart draw a v shape like this. I know
this doesn't look like a heart yet, but trust me it will look gorgeous in the end. I am
making 4 hearts in three different colors: light pink, green and medium pink. Dip the
toothpick into a taupe grayish color or you can just use black and start outlining the
edges of the hearts. Don't outline the hearts all around, you want them open so you can
squeeze more people you love in there. So just make some lines here and there, but make
sure to outline enough of it so you can tell it's a heart shape. Lastly make some random
dots and marks to cover the empty spaces between the hearts. I love the colors I used for this
a bit different take on the leopard print. The design looks so cool and different! It
is definitely one of my favorite designs to wear. Don't forget to apply a generous amount
of the fast drying top coat, which will bring the design together and protect it, so it
will last you a long time. Next design is a bit more girly and would
be perfect for the upcoming Valentine's or just any other day, as love is always important.
Apply two coats of pinky nude polish. Then apply some white on the tip of the nail diagonally
like this. The easiest way to do this is by rotating your finger, while keeping the polish
brush steady. Next, start making small green dots on the edge of the white. Here, I am
making the dots close to each other. Now it's time to show your nails some love by giving
them two sweet cartoon kisses. Make two lines to get kind of a reverse W shape. This is
the upper lip. For the lower lip, make a dot first, and then drag the color to each side.
Voila, you get the perfect lip shape! You can also apply the white polish all over the
nail and then make a lot of kisses on top. I love how this one turned out! To finish
off, apply a layer of a fast drying top coat and here's our finished kissed nail art design.
It's so easy, yet it looks perfect. I'm definitely going to wear this one more often as it's
really quick and simple to make, but it looks fabulous.
The last design is a pinky dotted exclamation mark. For the base color I chose white, so
I am painting two coats of white polish. I'm going to make a stencil using a tape, which
will help me achieve a neater and more precise design. Fold the tape, draw a half of the
exclamation mark on like this and cut it out. If you are precise enough and don't need a
stencil, lucky you, you can skip this step! When you unfold the tape, you get this triangular
hole. Stick it a few times at the back of your hand, to make the glue less strong. Now
you can stick the stencil on the middle of the nail like this. Next, start dotting the
polish inside the edges of the tape. I recommend making some small and some large dots. I decided
to use three pink shades for my exclamation mark. When you're done, simply remove the
tape and you're left with a lovely triangle shape. You can now add some more dots here
and there to perfect it. In the end, I am making a big dot below the triangle and my
exclamation sign is complete! Apply a generous amount of the fast drying top coat to bring
the design together and to add some shine. Using this technique you can create different
shapes like a star, flower or a heart, which I'll show you as a bonus. Draw a half of the
heart on a folded piece of tape, cut it out and stick on the nail. Now start making dots
of different sizes inside the edges. As you can see I used this design as an accent on
my ring finger. I painted all the other nails minty green. I love how girly and cute this
manicure turned out. The heart and exclamation designs remind me of a mosaic and I love how
you can play with different colors and shapes to make countless designs using this technique.
