Twinkle twinkle little star...
- Black!!!
- White
- Metallic light blue
- Light orange
- Yellow
Tools:
- Dotting tools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Sponges
Directions:
1. Paint solid black over a thick base coat. I used Essie's "Licorice."
2. I sponged light blue into 2 corners of my nail really lightly. Kind of like a cloud. I used Essie "Coat Azure."
3. Then I sponged a little bit if orange in side the bigger blue area. I used "Brazilliant."
4. Then I sponged on the yellow lightly in a few random spaces but mostly over the other to colors. Make sure the other colors are still
Visible.
5. Add a little scattering of white dots over the nail. On each one make a cross that looks like a twinkling star.
Ta-da!!! :)

Up up and away!
- light sky blue
- white
- black
- bright yellow
- bright orange
- bright blue
- greenish turquoise
- brown
Tools:
- Sponge and dotting tools for clouds
- Skinny brushes
Tips:
- For the clouds, I sponged little bits of white onto the light blue and then did a group of dots resembling a cloud inside of it.
- Think of the design on the balloon as a bunch of Ms stacked on top of each other.
- Make balloon part as big as possible so the design on the balloon part is more noticeable.

We're off to see the wizard...
• You might want to use a lighter blue for Dorothy's dress.
• Use a SUPER skinny brush for the stitches on the scarecrows shirt.
• Just put on a blob for the patches on the scarecrows shirt because it looks more natural and good that way.
Flowers
This cute design is so so so so so so so so easy and can be done on your fingers or your toes.
Colors:
blue- Essie, Mint Candy Apple
yellow- Sally Hansen, Mellow Yellow
pink- Sally Hansen, Carribean Coral
1. Paint your nails a base color. I chose blue
2. Paint a dot on as many nails as you want. You can use whatever color you want but I chose yellow because it is the middle of the flower
3. Paint 5-6 dots around the middle dot. These will be the petals of the flower. I chose pink but any color will be fine
PS: If you are wondering what happened to my foot its a henna. Henna also known as Mhendi is a special paint that you put on your skin. It is normally done for weddings.
