DIY Nails

     I had some extra time today and wanted to try some fancy nail designs I'd force myself to believe could only be done at a salon. After doing some Pintrest searching I found instructions on how to do a relatively simple design and thought I should share!
     It's super easy, and even the worst nail painters (aka myself) can accomplish it. All you need is two different colors of polish (preferably colors that work well together). Use the lighter of the two colors for the base coat, if you use the darker polish first it may be visible through the lighter top coat. Make sure the polish is completely dry before moving on to the next step.
     Cut out strips of tape, the size and number of the strips are up to you! Place the tape on the accent nail and make sure it's stuck on there well. The polish is a liquid, and if a part of the tape is sticking up, it will run right under it.
     Once the tape is firmly on your nail, take the second polish and go over the tape completely. Make sure the base coat isn't visible. Do this relatively quickly, otherwise you risk pulling up the whole top coat. (I made this mistake countless times, I thought you were supposed to let the paint dry completely but you're really supposed to pull of the tape as soon as possible).
     Now that the tape is off, let the polish dry and go over with a top coat. You're nails now have a super cute design!

When finished, your nails should look something like this!
