reverse french mani.

after trying [and succeeding] at ombre nails -- i figured i ought to step up my game with a reverse french manicure!

so i'll shoot straight -- this is not for the faint-of-heart. probably my trickiest nail-feat yet [you nail techs out there, don't look too closely]! 

directions:

trim, buff, & file down your nails

1 coat bond aid

1 coat base coat

pop some stovetop popcorn w/salt & pepper for a "post-nail-art job-well-done" snack. trust me, you'll be hungry after this!

paint lighter color in a triangular shape [this doesn't have to be perfect since you'll be painting over it anyways]

paint darker color over triangle to smooth out lines and fill in the rest of the nail [a fine-point brush makes this step a bit easier]

add top coat

munch on popcorn

bask in the glory of your reverse french mani!

[my colors: opi's "you don't know jacques" and "skulls & glossbones"]

enjoy!

xoxo, blair
