I'm not a super girly girl, so I don't paint my nails much. But I do enjoy it once in a while. And this week was one of those whiles. :)
(In this case, "cheat" = made easier)
1. Pull a rubber band over your nail as shown in the photos.
2. Paint with a colorful, erm ... color.
3. Pull the rubber band away and hope it worked!
4. Touch up time! Fix any little problems with either extra nail polish, or a bit of nail polish remover on a q-tip.
5. Let dry.
6. Cover all with a clear coat!
The rubber band really helps this go waaay faster. It doesn't make it perfect; you still need to do touch ups. But hey. I've gotten the same results without a rubber band, and it was way harder and way slower.
So, rubber band = win!
Even after touch ups, they ain't perfect. But they're cute enough for me!
I've always used tape but this is something I might try next time. Love the nail polish you picked.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea!!
ReplyDeleteGreat! Lovely color, so fresh! I usually do these kinds of patterns on my nails by using ordinary tape, but this is much smarter! Your attempt at speaking Dutch was a success by the way ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is SOOOO not a French Manicure. I think it's more like a...um...well, I think it's an M-Anni-cure. Yes?
