Tie-dye nails are a cute summer trend
    2020-06-12  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

SUMMER is the perfect time to start experimenting with fun nail art, and one trend that’s emerging this season is tie-dye.

Here’s how to easily create DIY tie-dye nails at home, according to nail artists.

“What I love about tie-dye nails is that you don’t really need any fancy tools to achieve a cool effect,” nail artist Chelsea King says. “I always recommend a cleanup nail brush because it’s great for fixing any mistakes around the cuticle,” she adds. “But it’s also handy for achieving this watercolor tie-

dye effect.”

As for colors, start with a nice white nail polish or neutral shade for a base. For the actual tie-dye effect, King says she prefers using contrasting pastel colors to make the design pop, while nail artist Alicia Torello says she likes using shades of the same color family — you can’t go wrong either way. Here are some simple steps to do it.

What you need: a base coat, one neutral base color, two or more colored nail polish, a cleanup nail brush or small makeup sponge, or a toothpick.

How to do tie-dye nails with a sponge or brush:

Start with a base coat and let dry.

Apply two coats of a neutral color for the base, let dry.

Using the brush straight from one colored bottle, apply a few dots on the nail.

Immediately take a nail brush or small makeup sponge dipped in nail polish remover and tap it onto the dots to blur out the colors.

Repeat the process with a second color. Let dry.

Apply a top coat.

How to do tie-dye nails with a toothpick:

Start with a base coat.

Apply two coats of a base color. Let dry.

Paint thick stripes on the nail with three colors or more.

Before it dries, get a toothpick and drag a line through the colors, which will pull each color into the next and create a tie-dye effect.

Let dry, then add a top coat.
