Welcome to 2014!
Sorry I have been MIA for the past couple of months. Life has been busy, and I have not been able to do as many nail art or hair dos as I would have liked.
But, with the new year underway, I am allocating time back doing the thing I love. Nail art and Hair dos and posting them up for you guys to admire. 🙂
Here’s a design that I did for my beautiful hand model – Emma – who requested Golden Aztec prints.
How I did it:
- Apply a good base coat to protect your nails.
- With a nice gold glittery polish, apply the base colour. ***Tip: to ensure you don’t paint your fingers as well as your nails, paint the middle strip of your nail first ensuring you line up the brush with the top of your cuticle and stroke towards the tip. Then slowly do the sides of the nails making sure to keep to the cuticle as your border that you never cross!
- Using a nice long stripper brush and black nail polish, make the lines you want to do the different Aztec designs in. You can do what I did and changed the direction of the lines on each nail to ‘mix it up’.
- You can use a dotting tool, a tooth pick or a very small brush to start filling in each section with different lines. The trick is to keep the patterns rigid with straight lines (hint: lots of triangles helps) and dots.
- Once completely dry, apply the top coat to protect your design!
