Here's the result of my inspired creative mind all thanks to Sophy Robson and my friends at www.makeupalley.com. I started browsing around for ideas and found this modern twist on french tips. Since I'm quite the rookie when it comes to painting my nails (actually painting anything, for that matter) this task didn't seem too bad since the supplies only include tape, scissors, lacquer & relatively no skill. I tried duplicating this look from chloesnails.blogspot.com she has this and so many more awesome looks.
Lately I've been in this earthy ethereal mood so I chose some neutral colors for my nails. My base is some unknown brand in a very nude color. Don't forget to let your base dry completely before continuing.
Next, I placed a piece of tape (sorry it's black, it's electrical tape, I recommend using clear scotch tape) diagonally across my nail. Be sure to press it firmly onto your nail to prevent any bleeding of your top color.
I put about three coats of O.P.I's Over The Taupe over the base coat (that's DRY!) and removed the tape. You do not need to wait for this to dry before removing the tape.
Continue previous steps to each nail and this is what you get. Feel free to move your lines around to create a more individual funky look or stick with what I did if you'd like. This was really easy and it looks cool. I can't wait to go out and pick out some rad color schemes to try out next. Hope you guys liked this, if you have any questions just comment at the bottom and I'd be happy to help!
