To do these plaid nails, I first painted my thumbs & middle fingers dark grey. Then painted my pointer & pinky fingers light grey. Then painted my ring fingers black. Next, I used Kiss Nail Art Paint (they have thin brushes) to do a plaid design on my pointer & pinky. You can use these in any order you like but I used black, then white, then silver. Lastly, I used top coat to apply diamond shaped nail decals to the rest of my nails.
Nails of the Week
I decided to go for a classy but fun look for the week of Thanksgiving. For these pretty gold & nude nails, I painted my ring finger a nude color (mine was from a french tip kit) & the rest in this glittery gold. Side note, if any of you know what the name of this OPI polish is, could you let me know. There aren’t any polish names on my tiny bottles & I think I’d like to buy a regular sized bottle when this runs out.
To finish the ring finger, I used straight french tip stickers to make my glittery gold stripe & used top coat to adhere my Chanel logo decal. I got these from Shopmissa found [HERE]. If you do only use top coat like I do, I would recommend taking them off every night & before washing your hair so you don’t loose them.
To finish the rest of the nails, simply use the typical curved french tip stickers to make reversed french tips using more nude polish. Also, if you end up with edges from the manicure stickers just dip a Q-tip in nail polish remover – let it dry for just a second or two so it’s not too wet – then very gently go over the edge to soften it.
