My mom is a big Dallas Cowboys fan and requested I try a football inspired nail design to show her team spirit. So here it is...this nail tutorial could be used for other teams-just switch up the blue and silver for whatever colors of your favorite sports team to show your team spirit! This design is simple and did not take a lot of time, the hardest part was the star. The step-by-step instructions are down below! Enjoy.

Tools you will need: 1. White nail polish-i used Petites in French White
2. Clear top coat- I used NYC Long Wearing Extra Shiny Top
3. Silver Glitter nail polish-i used NYC Starry Silver Glitter
4. Blue nail polish-i used Pure Ice in French Kiss
5. Silver nail polish- i used L.A. Colors Silver
6. Green nail polish- i used Revlon in Posh
7. Brown nail polish-i didn't have this so I mixed together a red,orange, and yellow nail polish to make the brown.
8. Yellow nail polish- I used SH Sugar Coat in Sweetie
9. A toothpick for line work
Steps:
1.Paint your thumb and middle finger Silver, your index fingers blue, ring fingers brown, and pinky fingers green. Allow to dry completely.
2-3.Thumbs- use your toothpick (using your blue nail polish) and slowly draw a star in the center of your nail. Be sure to fill it in.
Index fingers- use your silver nail polish to paint a slanted silver tip at the end of your BLUE nail. You want your index fingers to be half blue and half silver.
Middle fingers- use your blue nail polish to paint a slanted blue tip at the end of your SILVER nail. You want your index fingers to be half silver and half blue.
Ring fingers- using the toothpick draw a line down the center of your nail with white nail polish. Now draw small lines across the center line so that it looks like the laces/stitching on a football.
RIGHT PINKY-using the toothpick and white nail polish start on the outside edge of your finger and draw a long line (almost all the way across) and shorter lines in between..until you go all the way down the side. You want it to resemble the football field goal lines.
LEFT PINKY- use the toothpick and yellow nail polish to draw a field goal post in the center of your finger.
After everything is dry I went back and added the silver glitter nail polish over the thumbs, and anywhere there was silver to make it pop. After that add your clear top coat and VIOLA! You are done! I hope you enjoyed these designs. :)
