Do you want to do something a bit different with your nails this summer but aren't sure what? If that's the case, don't worry yourself any longer. Instead, use this step-by-step guide to get the block nails of your dreams. Just don't be surprised when people start coming up to you after acquiring the professional look and asking where you got your fingernails done.
Six Steps For Stunning Summer Color Block Nails
1) Opaque White
The first thing you will need to do to obtain stunning summer color block nails is to apply two coats of opaque white polish to all of your fingernails. Then, before you can do anything else, you'll have to allow the paint to dry. So, let that happen ahead of moving on to the next step.
2) Stencils Or Sticky Tape
Next, you'll need to attach stencils to the nails so that you can paint specific sections. Don't fret if you do not have or want to purchase stencils, you can also cut thin strips of sticky tape and apply them to the nails if you wish. Whatever you do, just make sure what you use is attached good so that the paint colors don't bleed through.
3) Lilac Polish
Now, it is time to apply lilac polish. Paint one line across the nail in a smooth and even stroke. Then, do the same thing to the rest of your nails.
4) Orange Polish
Things are coming along nicely now, and you'll soon have the summer color block nails you crave. However, you aren't finished quite yet. For this step, you are going to paint a smooth and even orange coat next to the lilac color.
5) Repeat Step Four
Hold your horses, and don't get ahead of yourself. Don't simply repeat step four by applying coats and coats of orange fingernail polish. Rather, repeat step four with different shades until the spaces in the middle of your nails are filled.
6) Remove Tape Or Stencils And Clean
After the polish dries, it will be time to remove the pieces of tape or stencils. Once you're all done with that activity, clean around your cuticles with an angled brush. And lastly, apply a clear top coat to seal the design and keep it looking its best.
Some Final Thoughts
Now that you have stunning summer color block nails, what's next? Why not go show your design off? Head out and into the world to see who notices your hard work.
