Nail Polish Junkie




Stained Glass

 

Confession: I am a nail polish junkie
 
Over the past year (2012) I have developed an addition to nail polish and begun teaching myself different designs because as much as I love being catered to, getting your nails done every week is not the most affordable thing in the world.
 
So this week's lesson was stained glass nails, as seen above.
It is actually a quite simple design.
All you need is a few complimentary colors and a thin tip black polish.

Step 1

Apply base coat to protect your nails from yellowing due to the nail polish.

Step 2

Pick out as many colors as you think your nails can handle.

Step 3

Dab different areas of each nail with your chosen colors leaving a little space between each color.

Step 4

Use a skinny nail art brush dipped in black nail polish to outline the colors, giving it the stained glass effect.

Step 5

Apply top coat and do your best to sit still long enough for them to dry.

Step 6

Admire your work!

That is how you get the stained glass effect. If you try it, feel free to share pictures!
 
What is your favorite polish?
