Hey all! Here's another NOTW tutorial for you! This manicure is inspired by YSL's AW 2010 nails seen on their models. It is basically a French Manicure but instead of leaving the base nude and colouring just the tip, two contrasting colours are used to give it a whole new dimension.
I used different colours though I remained faithful to the purple bottom colour and I did an upside down half-moon on the tips rather than following the natural curve of the nails.
Here's the end result:
If you like what you see, grab two contrasting colours from your stash and let's get started!
1. Start off by applying a good base coat. This is always necessary but even more so when working with dark polishes so as to prevent the nails from getting stained.
2. Paint two coats of a base colour of your choice and leave to dry. I used elf cosmetics Party Purple.
3. Now for the tips, you can either follow the usual shape of a French tip or else do like I did and use curved tip guides to create an upside-down half-moon tip. Make sure the base colour is dry and affix the tip guides like so:
4. Paint on the second colour of your choice above the tip guide and allow to dry. Here I used Orly Dazzle.
5. When this dries, carefully remove the tip guide and you should be left with something like this:
6. To finish the design, apply a clear top coat and you're done!
