what you need:
- a clear basecoat
- a clear topcoat
- one dark and one light color of your choice, mine are a light green color and blaaaaaack
- a toothpick or something pointy
- something to put on your nailpolish, like a piece of cardboard
- nailpolish remover
- cotton swabs
what you do:
- apply base coat and the lighter color
- put quite a bit of the darker color on the cardboard or palette or whatever and wait a few minutes until it gets sticky and tacky
- put your nail next to that
- dip the toothpick in the nail polish and drag it onto and across your nails: the strings will drop onto your nail and create this stripy effect
- you can do this as messily as you want; I would say you can do it as neatly as you want but I think it's kinda hard to get something neat out of that
- seal in with top coat
- I only did this on one nail per hand because it's a bit of a nailpolish waste
When I was done, I noticed that I actually imitated the design of this shirt a little. I even mentioned in that post that it would be a cool nail design! ha! Sometimes it's nice to have a brain out of mesh!
the products I used:
Manhatten ProShine base coat
Astor Fashion Studio in 006 acid drop
Manhattan QuickDry in 1010N
Astor NailArtist gloss
