DIY color block nails

what you need:
  • base and top coat
  • a light purple nailpolish
  • a darker purple one
  • a black one
  • tape

what you do:
  • apply base coat
  • cut tape into stripes and press them on your nails, about half a centimeter away from your cuticle
  • apply light purple nail polish; let it dry
  • reposition tape on your nails, about 2mm down from where you first placed it
  • apply black nail polish; let it dry
  • remove tape and apply dark purple nail polish to the tips of your nails; let it dry
  • seal in with a clear top coat
  • tip: if you're afraid to mess up the nail polish you already applied you can also use another stripe of tape; put it on your skin first, remove it and then place it on the part of your nail where you already applied polish; this way you don't mess anything up plus the tape is not too sticky to take off nail polish with it
  • you can also use for exmaple complementary colors to create a bigger contrast!
