Nail Art Tutorial: Tribal / Aztec Print Over Neon Gradient

x

Brushes used:
Detailer brush from this nail art brush set: 
A regluar, tiny paintbrush from a craftstore, trimmed to make thinner. 
Here’s a video on how you can do it yourself:

Steps:
1. Apply a basecoat and paint your nails white. This is important especially because we’re using neons because this will make the colors pop! Let this dry COMPLETELY

2. Apply some liquid latex around your nail. You can also use tape

3. Take out a makeup sponge and make sure there’s no dust particles on it. You can do this by taking some tape and just firmly stick on the sponge and then remove it.

5. Paint yellow and pink polish onto the sponge, slightly overlapping each other

6. Dab the sponge on your nail to transfer the polish. Move it a bit up and down and from side to side to make sure you get polish on the whole nail and to blend the colors

7. Repeat the last two steps on each nail, making each layer dry a couple of minutes before adding another one. I just recently realised that you can do two nails without reapplying polish to the sponge and this saves you some time and polish :D

8. Keep adding more layers until you’re satisfied with the gradient.

9. Let everything dry for a few minutes

10. Remove the liquid latex / tape and clean up with a flat brush dipped in polish remover

11. Apply a fast drying topcoat and let dry completely

12. Make the pattern as shown, I’m using black acrylic paint. If you make ant mistakes you can easily scrape off the paint with a toothpick and just redo it

13. When you’re done, let everything dry for a couple of minutes and apply a fast drying topcoat. If you’re like me and what matte nails, just apply a matte topcoat after the shiny one c:
