For the gradient nails you could always just add two black blocks on either side of the nails to make a gradient stripe in the middle - like the Nailasaurus did the other week. http://www.thenailasaurus.com/2012/...
It looks rather "racey" I think :)
I always paint my nails for my boyfriends races and he has the worst colors together. I have a picture of his bike and my nails on my page but I don't know how to do them this weekend that wont loook awful! His colors are pink, red, and black. Any ideas? Thanks :)
Hm. Thats A Tough One But The Tye Die Nails Are Really In Right Now. Or Maybe Like Red Nails With A Black French Tip & The Ring Fingers Pink?
Just An Idea...
I like them both! I was actually just looking at the ombre ones before i saw this, just trying to decide what kind of design to add :) But I like those half and half!
Katie what you can do is paint the background what ever color you want. While its still a bit wet dip you brush ( old dry brush) in to the glitter. One color at a time. Just dab it on. When you are finished with your 3 colors the use the brush and brush over the whole nail. Try to use a " fine" glitter. You will have to top coat twice.
I know, i've used three colors before but im not sure how well those three colors willl look together! I guess i'm going to have to test a few things out.
Okay i will check it out. I painted my nails and did a pink and red gradient but i'm still trying to decide how I will add black without them looking awful!
