Bow Manicure Tutorial

Back again for a super cute nail tutorial! Are you looking for an easy bow to put on those pastel pink nails? All it takes is a couple of steps and you're on your way. 

What You'll Need:

• Base & Top Coat (we're using Duri and Seche Vite)
• CND Raspberry Parfait #319
• Orly Instant Artist in 24k Glitter 
• LA Colors Art Deco Nail Art Lacquer in Orchid

STEP 1 Base Coat & Color

In broad, even strokes, apply a thin layer of your favorite base coat. Then, apply three coats of any light pink polish. You can choose any pale shade, the polish just can't be too dark or the bow won't show.

STEP 2 Create the Bow Shape

Take a darker pink polish and a small detail brush to create two triangle shapes pointing toward each other. Try to make the outer corners more rounded to look more like an actual bow.

STEP 3 Close off the Bow

Dot a glitter color polish between the two triangles to create the knot in the center of the bow and close off the shape. A glittery polish will make the bow pop more than a cream hue.

STEP 4 Give it  Shape

Taking another glitter color that is darker, trace around the bow to give it more dimension and add the pucker lines through the center of each triangle shape to make it look more realistic.

STEP 5 Apply a Top coat

The only thing left to do is apply a top coat and enjoy your adorable new manicure.
