I am all about having my nails done! There is rarely, and I mean seriously rarely, a time that you will find me without freshly lacquered paws. Although I am a huge fan of the classic nude, siren red and creamy pastel colours featuring on the ends of my fingers, I can also be partial to a bit of nail art here and then. And sometimes you just can’t pick one colour, right?
But branching out from just one shade doesn’t always have to be wacky! I don’t love the classic French manicure, but I have always liked the look of the two-tone effect that people go for. It adds something different to a classic one shade wonder. But how can you get such straight and even sections all by yourself, I hear you wondering? Well, I am here to save the day and inform you that it is so damn easy. Like seriously easy! To the point that when I tried this, I said to the girls in the office “Wow! This is actually so easy!”. I am still surprised on a weekly basis at how good our beauty hacks are!
All you need is a couple of your fave nail polish shades and a rubber band. Go as neutral or as contrasting as you like! I decided to be inspired by Tequila Sunrises and go for similar colours, and I absolutely adored the end result!
What you’ll need:
- Nail polish in two different colours
- Top coat
- A thick rubber band
Directions:
- Start off by painting a few layers of your base colour onto your nails. Make sure they are completely dry before you start the next step!
- Secure the rubber band around the end of your finger, leaving a small strip of your nail.
- Using the second nail polish colour, paint the tip of your nail. Be very careful when removing the rubber band to avoid any smudges!
- Apply a top coat so that the tip of the nail polish won’t chip! And you’re done!
