Last night, I decided to try a nail polish technique I saw
floating around on Pinterest. It’s
called Tie Dye Nails and the original post can be found here.
I didn’t want to go too crazy since I have a conference
later today, but I still wanted to have fun with my nails. Thus, I opted to go with pink, coral, and
gold nail polish. Not quite the 'tie-dye' effect, but rather a swirl of pretty colors!
I followed almost every step of the tutorial as is except I
did not change out the container with my polish in between each nail, rather I changed
out the polish/water mix in between each hand.
I found I had more than enough polish to do all 5 fingers decently this
way. I also used a base coat and top
coat. The top coat is Essie Good to Go
and it will dry your nails almost instantly! I am OBSESSED with Essie Good to Go!
Base coat and taped fingers (yes, that’s painters tape)
Drops of nail polish
Nail polish swirled (I used a kabob stick as I didn’t have a
toothpick)
Fingers dipped
Top coat of Essie’s Good To Go put on and drying
Tape removed
Q-tips used to clean around the nails
Beauty! ...?
So is it epic, or an epic fail? What nail polish techniques from Pinterest have you tried?
