Hello welcome to another Tutorial Tuesday where we are going to learn together how to make a wave or ruffle nail art. The finished product is going to look like this:
1) First thing to do is cover your nails
in your strengtheningbase coat
of choice and yourbase color.
Shown here is two coats of
Barielle Falling Star.
2) Next, using your second of three colors,
you will use your dotting tool to make a
horizontal line of dots across your nail
leaving space at your cuticle for your base
color to show through. Make them of
generous size. The color shown here is
China Glaze Sunday Funday.
3)Using your third color- make another
horizontal line of dots, this time placing
them in the spaces left by the dots of
the previous line. The color shown here
is Color Club Wild Cactus.
4) The next steps are all going to be the
same but just alternating among your
three colors:
Lastly you will apply a generous layer of top coat and then your design will be complete.
This design reminds me of stage scenery of waves- you know- something like this:
(side note- I loved The Swan Princess animated film as a young girl- but only for this music video at the end of the film...
I love this gal's voice!)
Hope you enjoyed and that you try this out for yourself! Love and Hugs
Over and Out
Love this technique!!! Looks achievable - but the dry time must be insane!
ReplyDeleteNot so much Heather if you get yourself a good top coat- although I have to admit I did nick my middle finger shortly after taking photos...but I was just being too busy to give em a sec to dry with the seche vite :) Give it a try girl!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to do this with my daughter. She just loves getting her nails painted! I know our readers would love this, too. We have a weekly link up party going on now (Thursdays), and we would love to see this post and/or any others you would like to share at allthingswithpurpose.com. Hope to see you soon!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! So cute! Would be perfect for a beach trip.
