All Tuxed Up
Hey hey hey Polish Peeps!!!
Today I wanted to dress up my nails all fancy! I have seen these nails a few other places and they have been done many different ways so I wanted to try them for myself. They can be fairly simple, but you need to know what to do first.
So first I started off with two coats of white polish. When that was dry, I taped the nail so it would have a triangle-ish shape at the tip (NOT near the cuticle) and painted that with black polish. You could do this free hand but I have shaky hands; shaky hands = messy lines (but I can do dots pretty well). But hey that's just me. From there, I added two black dots up the white part of the nail while leaving room at the end of the nail (near the cuticle). Then, very carefully, I did two sideways triangles with them connected at the middle to make a bow tie because bow ties are cool. ;) (Also neck ties are really hard to do on a nail . . . if you know how to do those, you are AWESOME.) For the bow ties, I did them all in black except on the ring finger. I did the ring with red to add color and also because my favorite color is red (or blue but don't tell red).
Colors: China Glaze = Liquid Leather (black), OPI = (Alpine Snow), OPI = Big Apple Red
(P.S. The bow I am holding it the first few pictures is a bracelet cuff that is basically a bow tie for your wrist!! I found them here and they come in different colors. I have three!)
I really love these; they are sooo cute!!
Peace out!
