on my Korean Friends nails.
Its becoming really popular everywhere.
It looks great on short or long nails.
This is my first try at it.
What you need:
3 or 4 shades of the same color.
1 light/sheer. 1 medium. 1 dark. 1 sparkly one (optional)
Im using pink
But you can use yellow,green blue , even black
Whatever you want !
How to do it :
1. Cover the nail in the light shade. Do a second coat.
2. Mix the light shade with your medium shade.
Do this in a plastic plate or whatever you have. Use the medium shade
brush to mix and apply. Start in the middle of your nail and brush up.
You want to be able to see the light shade at the bottom
3. Grab your medium shade and put some on the top part
of your nail so that you can still see some of the light/medium mix.
Basically you are just painting lines of different shades on your nail
to make that fading effect.
4. Next Grab your dark shade. Paint the very top of your nail tip.
This is the smallest layer.
5. You can now add a sparkly color on your nail or leave it plain.
6. Add 2 coats of top coat to make it nice and glossy
Done !
[ note: this look requires patience. you might wanna purchase
some fast drying top coat or some other type of
solution that makes nail polish dry faster if you dont
have a nail dryer ]
