It's been awhile! I haven't gotten the chance to do my nails! So I hope you're missing my fingers because you'll be seeing a lot of them as you scroll down :)
I call this sexy and dainty nails! Sexy because the color is hot and dainty because of the flowers! It's for those ladies who look sweet and sexy at the same time! Ooohhh La La!
Here's what I came up with
Step 1:
I applied 2 coats of ELF Berry Pink
Step 2:
Apply platinum polish French Tip style and use a brush to lightly brush down the platinum color creating gradient nails.
Step 3:
You can do 2 colors but I want to have 3 toned gradient nails. After the platinum color above is dry. I applied ELF Light Red French Tip style.
While wet, brush lightly downwards. This doesn't have to be perfect.
Step 4:
Apply your preferred top coat.
Step 5:
Making sure the top coat applied is still wet, drop 5 dots of white polish. You can do as many flowers as you want.
did you know that?
Applying dots while the polish is still WET make the dots blend in with the polish creating a flat flower that looks like stickers.
Step 6:
Using my needle method to fix those dots that gotten near each other.
Step 7:
Apply Glitter polish (Optional) and top coat to protect your nail art.
I know it's such a long and tedious steps!
You can choose to do just gradient nails
and it'll still look lovely!

ReplyDeleteSweet and sexy is me! Though I'm sure if I'm sexy lol Sorry, I'm just so excited with this tutorial cos I love this look a lot! It's like Japanese sakura inspired n____n Which is what my blog layout is based off from btw. Summer is approaching but I'm still in the mood for spring. I want to really really try this nail-look,but I don't have the white nail art thingy. Where can I get them? Do you think I can get it online, or do you know of any Nail Tutorial Blogs based in the US that you can refer me to? Sorry so many questions, I'm just so intrigued!
