I’ve had a lot of people ask me about my Harry Potter nails as they’ve spied them over the last two weeks of Happy Harry Potter so I thought I’d share a tutorial.

They are super detailed but the best part is that I use a technique called nail stamping where you don’t need any artist painting skill at all to achieve the super fun designs.

Nail stamping is relatively easy although there is a small learning curve for getting the right pressure but after a try or too you can get super awesome looking nails in a snap.

Check out the video tutorial to see exactly how it works.
