It's NYE poshinistas which means--time to get posh! I love any reason to dress up. I have some pretty fabulous plans for tonight...a secret supper at a dynamic location. I was so inspired by the night ahead that I decided to try new nails. I'm calling them my version of tuxedo nails.
The look is very simple to replicate and took about 5 minutes more than a normal nail polish application. Tools required are: base coat, topcoat, two complimentary nail colors and a basic makeup sponge.
Directions:
- Prime nails as normal (cut, buff and shape)
- Apply Base coat (allow to dry)
- Apply Base Color (Union Jack Black). Allow to dry enough so that it is touchable but still tacky.
- Pour a small amount of "Top Base" color (Hampstead Heath) on paper (I used parchment, wax would work as well)
- Dip sponge lightly into color
- Sponge "Top Base" color on the nail. Keep sponging until you get color intensity you like but lightly enough to allow the base coat to show through.
- Apply topcoat over entire nail.
- Voila' Posh Nails!
