I have been wanting to do this look for a little while, and finally found the time to paint my nails. It was a lot of fun to do, and I like it a lot better than I thought I would.
Steps:
Step 2: Pick out the colors you want to dot with. Dot with the lightest color first. I started dotting with Orly in White Tips. I was not able to find a doting tool when I was at Ulta, so I just used the end of a bobby pin. It actually worked a lot better than I thought it would.
Step 3: Dot your next color. I used Flip Flop Fantasy by China Glaze.
Step 4: Dot any remaining colors. I chose to use 3 different colors. You could stop at 2 if you want. The last color I used was Flyin' High by China Glaze.
Step 5: Give your nails a few minutes to dry before applying a top coat. If you do it too soon all of the dots will smear and all of your hard work will be ruined.
Step 6: Apply a top coat. As always, I used Essie's all-in-one 3-way glaze.
I hope you guys like this look.
Have a great weekend!
My mom actually got me a set of China Glaze nail polishes for Valentine's Day that were made to create this kind of nail look with. I've been putting it off because I've been so busy, but now I'm really excited to try this out!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I've never seen kits before. I'll have to keep an eye out for them. I've been experimenting a little bit with nail art, but its hard to do. I just stick with the more simple designs. haha
DeleteYou should do a post on it if you do try it out! I would love to see it.
Nice art dear. Loved the neons :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm excited to wear more neon colors in the spring and summer :)
DeleteThanks for the comment.
Oh, how darling! I think that the design and color choices create a very nice, retro early 1960s effect.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I didn't think of that, but you're right, it does create a retro effect.
