Turquoise Stone

Turquoise Stone Nails
I tried something a little different for today's nails. This nail art was inspired by turquoise stone. I saw a similar design in a magazine and online and thought I'd give it a try!

For this design I used:

-"Beauty Secrets" Base Coat
-"Finger Paints" nail polish in Figure of Art
-"Orly" nail polish in Gumdrop
-"Beauty Secret's" Top Coat

Step 1: Apply your base coat then 2 coats of your bronze/gold color polish, wait for this to completely dry.

Step 2: Now apply 2 coats of turquoise polish (make sure all of the step 1 polish is covered).

Step 3: Once dry, use an acetone based polish remover (this will work with non-acetone removers but will take much much longer to do) and dip a cotton swab (q-tip) into it until its moist not wet. Gently rub this over spots of  your nails where you want the bronze/gold color exposed. Continue to do this in different shapes over all 10 fingers.

Step 4: Apply a top coat! Voila! You're done

This is a fun and easy technique that anyone can master even if your not a pro at nail art. It's something funky and fun, try switching up the colors and do a rainbow design! If you try this on your own nails send me a picture! Keep sending your requests to nailsbyvalentine@gmail.com.

Hope you enjoyed today's nail art!

Check back later this week for a fun and funky design that I have planned!!
