How to reuse a striper

I normally find that once I use a new brush for my nail art I can never properly clean it and it never works as well after. I've come up with a solution to this problem! Find a polish that comes with a striper, I used Andrea Fullerton's striper, then once you have used or got rid of the majority of the polish in the bottle clean out the remaining polish with nail polish remover. This may take a while. You'll probably have to leave it to soak and shake it alot and use a cotton pad to get in the lid. Once this is done all you have to do is fill the bottle with nail polish remover and screw the brush back on. Make sure you've cleaned the brush as best you can too. Then when ever you need a striper just wipe the remover off the brush and dip into whatever colour you need. Once you've used it wipe the brush and place it back in the remover. This will keep your brush nice and clean and it won't allow nail varnish to dry on your brush making it all crispy and impossible to work with.

Step 1- Paint your nails black (or whatever colour you want).
Step 2- Use a dotting tool or nailart pen to create 5 white dots in a circle. You can just do 1 of these on each nail or a few depending on how long your nails are.
Step 3- Paint a line half way through each dot starting from the inside of the circle (does that make sense? Have a look at the picture). Use a striper to do this.
Step 4- Make a yellow circle using a dotting tool or nailart pen in the middle of the circle of white dots.

My Easter Nails

For these nails I started off painting all my nails different pastel colours. I used monochrome from 17 graffiti collection on my thumb, middle and ring finger to create a speckled effect. On my index and little finger I used stripers and nail art pens to do a tribal/aztec design. On my middle and ring finger I used a yellow striper to draw a zigzag halfway down and filled the top half in and added eyes and a beak to make little chicks hatching out of their eggs.

Daisy nails

This design is very simple and easy to do. I started out painting my nails red then used a dotting tool and yellow polish to do the centre of the flowers then used a dotting tool and white polish to do the centre.
