If you like to maintain your nails pretty “Plain Jane”, then I suggest you look away from this post, as this design is not for the faint of heart. These are holographic “search at me!” nails that will get your manicure observed for sure. It truly is also the sort of manicure that will make you gesture extra with your hands even though you speak due to the fact you are quite aware that the a lot more they move, the far more your nails shimmer and sparkle. Interested? I considered so!
Supplies:
-nude polish
-clear leading coat (not a quick dry)
-holograph tissue paper (examine the gift wrapping aisle)
-nail scissors
-tape
1st, use your tiny scissors to minimize lots of different sizes of jagged triangle-like shapes in many distinct sizes and lengths. I taped a piece of tape sticky side up on the edge of the table so I could stick the tip of my shapes onto the tape to make them less difficult to grab with the tweezers later on. Subsequent you are going to do as several layers of nude polish as essential to get a strong colored base. Once that polish is dry, add a coat of clear polish. Then rapidly grab a tissue shape and area it on the nail although it is nevertheless moist. The clear coat will act as a glue, so you want to get all your shapes onto the nail just before it sets. If it does dry as well speedily, just include a lot more clear coat onto the parts of your nail you have not finished however and proceed to include the shapes till the nail is full. After you have the nail covered, add a best coat of the clear polish and let the nail to dry. Repeat until finally all your nails are covered, stopping to recut a lot more shapes as essential.
I enjoy how the hologram paper looks much more pastel, clear, or deep rainbow depending on the light at the minute. As I mentioned, this is definitely not a wallflower seem, but it really is SO considerably exciting if you’re hunting for a statement item. If you make a decision to give it a try, holla-gram at me! xo. Laura
