Black and Gold Abstract

Hey Y'all!

Today I have a black and gold abstract design for ya!

Here's How:

I started with a gold base of Sinful Colors "Gold Medal."

Then with a striper brush and a matte black polish (Sinful Colors "Whipped") I painted a line down half my nail just right of the actual center. 

and paint a second line next to the first, leavin a gap of gold in between them.

Next paint a line connectin from the first line to the outer edges of the nail. 

Repeat on the other side. 

Then with the actual polish brush fill in the two sections. 

Like this. 

For the pinky I did the whole nail so just 2 stripes down the nail, leavin that gold gap.

Fill in the two sides.

Use a small brush with acetone to clean up any excess polish on the skin.

And that's it!

I love the way these turned out. The matte black looks so good against the gold.

Recycle Mani Monday: Abstract!

Hey Y'all!

Here's How:

Startin with my previous manicure.

I'm takin a no name black polish and striper brush and makin two lines across my nail. One in the middle at an angle towards the tip and then one almost connectin with the first line down across the tip of my nail.

I repeat this with a lime green that I've mixed myself. You can use whatever green you have.

Repeat again with a neon pink. I used "East Austin" from Color Club.

Then with a dottin tool and a white polish I made random dots along the top of the first black line. I used Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube" for my white.

And also add dots between the first pink line and the 2nd black line.

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I use Salon Perfect.

and that's it!
