Negative Space Nautical Nails Tutorial

Finally, today’s design is a great source of nail-aspiration, we’re itching to try it in other colors. We’re thinking striking black, red, yellow and white, or more feminine in pastel blue, rose, mint and lilac shades. If you’re short on time, remember there’s always the option of one accent nail leaving other nails plain navy, or turquoise.

HOW TO:

1. Paint base in nude shade or, if your nails are an even color, just apply base coat. Allow sufficient time for your nails to dry completely.
2. Apply striping tape as pictured. Make sure the tape is attached to the nail edges so the color doesn't leak underneath the tape and ruin your perfect stripes.
3. Paint the stripes in different colors on all fingers. It’s better to come up with a plan/color scheme (which color to use for each stripe) for each nail before you start painting.
4. Working one nail at a time, apply two coats of fast drying, glossy top coat and quickly but carefully remove striping tape to reveal the pattern. Repeat on all nails.
