I notice that nails would turn slightly yellowish when you leave the nail polishes on for too long. The supply of vitamin D usually provided by the sun is cut off thus, the nails start to change in color.
Then I thought about the French Tip technique, and decided to make it look a little more funky. Using a transparent coat for the nails, you continue to supply vitamin D to retain the pretty pink in your nails. But it's not boring due to the edgy stripes of blue right at the edge of the nails.
Here's what you need -
- Base coat and Top Coat of your choice
- White Nail Polish
- Colored Nail Polish of your choice (Mine is Deep Blue from FaceShop)
- Cotton Sticks (the type you use for cleaning ears)
- Nail polish remover
Beauty Regime:
1. Using the base coat, layer your nails with one light coat. This gives it a slight gloss without 'suffocating' your nails
2. Line the edge of your nails with white polish (use a really light dose of white to roughly paint it on before you fill in the colors. This prevents mistakes)
3. You may correct the extra smudges with a cotton stick and some nail polish remover
4. Before the white dries completely (mildly sticky), add stripes of your choice nail polish to create the above pattern
5. When all is done, coat the nails with a layer of top coat and double coat the pattern edges for a stronger coat
And you're done!
Nails Buddy love:
If your nails are really brittle you can opt for this because the polish helps to harden the nails as the new nails grow into place. It is also less obvious to spot the new grown nails when you use a transparent base. If you nails are severely discolored, stop all nail polish application immediately and have a good session of nail nourishing and cleaning. See here for more info
