How To: New Year's Nails with @maniwithsami
We're so ready to wave goodbye to 2021. Naturally, we need to send the year off in style, so we've enlisted the help of Sydney nail artist, @maniwithsami, to help us create the New Year's nail look of our dreams.
Here's what you'll need:
- A base coat to get you started
- A glitter polish suitable for New Year's celebrations (so as wild as you like, of course)
- A white polish for fun patterns
- A top coat for moral support
- A nail art brush to bring it all together
Let's get started!
Step 1: The Base-ics
Start by painting your base colour. It can be any colour you want - I've chosen pink!
Step 2: Get Glittery
Paint a lil wavy outline using the glitter polish on the top portion of your nail like so.
Step 3: Fill It In
Now fill in the wavey bit with the glitter polish and voila!
Step 4: Line Time
Carefully outline the glitter wave using the white polish and nail art brush. The thinner the brush, the thinner the line.
Step 5: Perfect Your Patterns
Now draw a second wavy white line in the negative space. It can be as random as you want it to be!
Try and leave a little blank area in the middle so that the two wavey sections remain separate. It should look a little bit like this.
Step 6: Lock It In
Wait for the design to dry a little before sealing in the look with a top coat.
Step 7: The Finale!
Repeat the process on all your fingers and you're done!
Now go soak up all the compliments on your recently acquired art skills (and maybe a little champagne).
