In the Nude: A Super Easy (Nude) Crescent Nail Art Tutorial

We've been delving into the beauty realm recently with the assistance of our production assistant and dazzler extraordinaire, Rachel. And she finally convinced me to practice a nail tutorial.

We decided to combine the nude boom trend with other elements (like the dot nails I had for the DIY Dots artwork post and a cuticle crescent for fun) to create a pattern that totally speaks my language (and hopefully yours too). It'due south modern, playful, and maybe even a little bit quirky.

To paint your ain nude crescent nail art, you lot'll need the following…

Materials:

– base coat (I like this one)
– smash polish in two contrasting colors (nosotros used Butler Delight from Essie and Feelin' Hot Hot Hot from OPI)
– top coat (I similar this i)

Instructions:

1. Prep your nails with your favorite base coat.

2. Grab a minor pack of circumvolve stickers you can find at an  office supply store, cut them in half and place 1 over each nail where you lot want your negative space to be. This is the nude crescent shape you'll exist creating, near the cuticle.Equally shown in the photograph. Make certain to press each sticker downwardly firmly. *A cuticle pusher (like this ane) worked great for us.

3. Paint each nail with your base color and one time that coat is completely dry out pare off your stickers. We gave ours a little extra time to fully dry to avoid rough edges when removing the stickers.

4. Add a colorful dot accent above the crescent shape. We used a toothpick merely a dotting tool (like this one) works well also.

five. End off with your favorite top glaze.

Note: If your stickers go out any rough edges, you lot can clean the edge of your polish up with a cotton swab and boom smoothen remover.

Once you're nails are finished, you're probably going to want to catch your nearest ice cream cone (you can accept one from a small child, I'g certain they won't mind) and show these puppies off. Kidding! Just seriously though, that's what we did.

I was secretly jealous that Amelia was the hand model for this project because I really wanted to pigment my nails in this design too. Simply my nails are a footling besides chubby to be a hand model at this bespeak. So I'll exit that one to the pros and only try this pattern on my own time.

P.Southward. Let me know what yous think of doing more nail tutorials like these. If you lot like 'em great! I'd love to practise more and if you're not a fan, I'm happy to hear that too. I won't cry, I hope.
