Black & Nude Nails

Hey!
I tried a new nail design and I LOVE IT! It's a very simple design, yet, it is powerful. I'd rate this Easy to Moderate in difficulty. Here's how to recreate this look:

STEP 1: Paint one coat of clear base coat.

STEP 2: Beginning with your thumb, paint every other nail with 2 coats with Black nail polish. *I used "Black on Black" by Sinful Colors Professional.

STEP 3: Paint the remaining nails with 2 coats of Nude nail polish. * I used "Easy Going" by Sinful Colors Professional.

STEP 4: Allow the nails to dry. Then, using your dotting tool, make medium sized dots on your index finger. *Begin by placing a dot in the center of your nail. This will help center your design.

STEP 5: Apply tape in thin strips horizontally on your ring finger. *Make sure the strips are pressed on your nail securely. This will prevent the black polish from bleeding. Paint 2 coats of black polish just like you would paint your nail regularly.

STEP 6: Peel off the tape immediately. Do not let the polish dry. Then, paint a top coat over all nails.
aaaaaaaaand...VOILA!
The finished product!
I hope this was helpful. I had a lot of fun designing this and breaking down the steps for you. Until next time, GET IT TOGETHER, GIRL!
