Pink Craze!

This is a very fun summer time nail look and it's rather easy to accomplish! Let's start off with some basic "know how's" before I dive into how to accomplish this look:

1) When you are using bright, neon colors of ANY kind (especially green), you will want to lay down 2 layers of white nail polish as a base first before you apply the color. Why? Because neon colors will stain your natural nail and cause more work when you go to change your look. Neon colors are highly pigmented in order to achieve their bright appearance. Your nails (even fake, gel, acrylic, etc) will absorb these colors like crazy! So, before you even think about applying these beautiful, bold colors..apply the 2 coats of plain white nail polish first. Make sure to get a nice even coat as well. If you leave any spots on the nail that are see through or not completely covered..the neon polish will seep through and cause staining. Now that that tip is covered, let's move on to this look! 

• Base Coat- for this look, the white polish. No need for a clear base coat when using white.
• "Nina Ultra Pro" brand (from Sally's Beauty) in the color "Punki Pink"
• "Nina Ultra Pro" brand in the color "Fuchsia Rage"
• A dotting tool or nail art brush/pen.
• Q-tips
• Nail Polish Remover. (if you are working with gel or acrylic nails, be sure to use NON-acetone remover)
• Make up Sponge or Wedge.
• Top Coat of choice. I prefer "Out the Door" top coat. Dries in seconds and leave a beautiful shine! 
• Rhinestones of your choice.
• Some glitter polish. I used silver. Be creative and make it your own! Do whatever you like! 

First, take the white polish and create the "V" shaped french tip on all nails EXCEPT the ring and thumb.

On the ring finger and thumb, I took the white polish and put 2 coats all over the nail.

Next, I took my make up wedge and applied the two separate shades of pink and put it on the wedge. Then, simply apply the polish onto the ring and thumb nails in a "rocking" motion, being sure to cover the nail entirely. 

After that, I took my nail art brush and applied the dark pink stripes on top of the "V"

After all that is dry, I took my dotting tool and nail art brush and applied the dots and small stripes onto the ring and thumb fingers. 

Wait for a while and give it a chance to dry, then apply some glitter on top of the stripes of the ring and thumb fingers. 

Apply a top coat and your done!

**Be sure to use NON acetone polish remover when you are changing looks with gel or acrylic nails. If you use pure acetone to remove your looks, you will melt them right off!** 

ENJOY! <3
