Dripping paint nail tutorial!

Hi! I posted a photo on Instagram a few days ago and a lot of you asked how I did my nails in it so I thought I would make a tutorial to show you!

This is the finished design, so if you want to know how to do it then keep reading :)


1) Paint your nails with a clear base coat.  This will help to protect your natural nails and prevent staining.  I used Sally Hansen's 'one coat instant strength'.

2) Paint your nails opaque white - or another base colour of your choice, the top colour will stand out more if you use white though.  This usually takes two coats, depending on the polish you use.  I used Maybellines colour show in the shade 'Winter Baby'.

3) Paint 3-4 dots in different places along your nail and connect them with curved lines. You can do this using a dotting tool or nail art pen if you have them and if not then just use a bobby pin dipped in polish or an old liquid eyeliner brush.  Repeat this step on each nail.  I chose to do each nail a different colour but you can choose whatever colours you want :)

4)  Finally, fill in the tips of the nails with the same colour polish that you did the dots in and that's it!  Just complete with a top coat to make the design last longer and you're done :)

I hope you enjoyed this and will maybe try it out! Thanks for reading :)
