I am no nail art expert and rarely stretch to anything fancy on my fingers; I am a paint ‘n go kinda gal, but following the No.7 nail art event I attended a few months ago, I decided to become a bit more experimental. These tips may look fancy but they were ridiculously quick and easy to execute, and almost 100% fool-proof.
GOLDEN PYRAMIDS
Base coat – Eyeko Pastel Polish
Tips – No.7 Hot to Trot
COSMIC CURVES
Base coat – Eyeko Pastel Polish
Tips – GOSH Holographic
I used the below manicure guide stickers to achieve the above looks. We received these at the event but unfortunately I am not sure exactly where they came from. However, I have investigated and if you search for ‘nail guide stickers’ on eBay, there are hundreds of different styles that pop up.
Simply paint your nails with your chosen base colour. Now the important part is to wait until they are completely dry before applying the stickers. If the varnish is even slightly tacky, it will come off as you remove the sticker. Equally, once you have positioned your stickers and painted the tips, ensure this layer of polish is completely dry also before peeling the sticker away, otherwise the line won’t be sharp.
Providing you make sure the varnish is totally dry at both these stages – this technique is really easy, very effective and opens up endless possibilities. I am already mentally creating my next colour combination.
What do you think?
Is this something you would try?
