Today's Manicure Monday was the result of a very uneventful night where I watched endless bad romcoms and painted my nails different colours and then drew geometric prints on them. That's totally normal right?!
If you want the tutorial, click below!
You will need:
- 5 different colours - brights or pastels, the choice is yours
- Top Coat
- A white pen or alternatively white nail polish and a nail art tool OR kebab stick
- a steady hand (and ideally be ambidextrous)
To recreate this look:
1. Paint each nail a different colour, do at least 2 coats to make the colours really opaque
2. Wait for the nail polish to dry COMPLETELY. This takes patients people!
3. Make sure it's completely dry, can't stress this enough
4. Using your chosen white implement draw straight lines in different patterns on each fingernail. Ideally 3-4 lines on each
5. Wait for the white polish or pen ink to dry completely (check with the pad of your thumb)
6. Coat with clear top coat to ensure the pattern doesn't come off with wear (and that the polish lasts as long as possible).
Voila! All done, that wasn't so hard was it? Well at least with your dominant hand...the trick is making the other hand look good too...I'm not even going to show you what mine looks like!
Hope you're all having a wonderful monday, if you get a chance to give this a try, post a picture below or email us at sparkleandrose@gmail.com and we'll post it up!
