I usually do this nail look with black nail polish on the tips, but it really look great with any dark color.
This is really simple to achieve. I used:
- China Glaze Nail Lacquer in Bad Landing
- Very old glittery nail polish without label
- Sally Hansen Ultimate Shield Fortifying Base & Top Coat
So basically, I put a base coat first, then two coats of nail polish on the tips. I add the glittery nail polish, and a top coat, and tadaah!
EDIT: Kandie asked how I got that line so straight on my nails. First of all, if you look closely, you can see that's it's not that straight LOL. But anyway, the trick I have discovered is to paint the nail polish on the tip with little strokes up and down the tip of the nail, not painting a line from side to side of the tip. I hope it helps.
thanks for stopping by my blog I'm a new follow of yours now too =)

lovely ,, i like this ,, gotta try it out =D
ReplyDeleteand yes ,, i think short strokes are easier than one swipe from side to side =)
I found doing the tips with a nail art pen is easier than using the polish brush, or I use French tip guides. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou can fake the image of long nails by painting the tips way pass your actual smile lines too :)
This is too cute. Totally different.
ReplyDeleteCute color! I always have a difficult time with the tips. HAHA.
