Hello, everyone!
Today I'm going to share an easy nail art tutorial with you. I got the
inspiration from this nail design, actually. (I could not find the original source, so if you know it please comment down below!)
So, in an attempt to recreate it, here was the result:
And now for the tutorial!
You will need at
least two polishes for this design. It looks best if you use two colors
of the same hue, but in different shades. The deep fuchsia I used is
Essie Big Spender. The lighter pink I used is Essie Fiji. If you'd like
to add a little extra oomph, you can use a fine glitter polish.
The one I used is Color Club Hot Couture. It has a pink-tinted almost
clear base with fine light pink glitter. You will also need striping
tape and, if you so desire, a base coat (I use Essie Grow Stronger to
strengthen my nails) and a top coat (I use Milani's Quick Dry Top Coat).
First, apply your
base coat and two coats of one of your polishes, preferably the darker
of the two. Let it dry for as long as you can. The minimum should be
about 15-20 minutes.
Next, take two
pieces of striping tape and place them as shown here. Have about enough
space between them that you could place another piece of tape there, if
you needed to.
Now take your
other polish, the lighter color, and paint the section from the piece of
tape nearest to your cuticle down towards the tip, as shown here. Paint
one coat, let it dry for 30 seconds, and then paint the second. Wait 10
seconds and then slowly and carefully peel the tape off.
Let the polish
dry for at least 10 minutes and apply the glitter polish, if you are
using one, wait another 2 minutes, and apply the top coat. If you are
not using a glitter polish, wait 10 minutes and then apply the top coat.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that your recreations will be successful!
