I am going to be wearing this manicure tomorrow for NYE Celebrations over at our capital city Valletta. Stay tuned for my OOTN post tomorrow :) Keep on reading to find out how to create this design yourselves :)
1. Since I am used a dark red colour, I painted on two thin coats of a clear base coat instead of one to protect my nails from staining.
2. When this dries, apply two coats of a deep red nail polish or any other colour you prefer. I chose e.l.f. Cranberry and applied it on all nails omitting the ring fingers.
3. On the ring fingers, paint on a French tip with the same colour.
4. With a medium sized striper brush, create a criss-cross grid design as shown in the pictures. Leave to dry.
5. Apply a coat of a glossy clear top coat all over the nails including the ring fingers. You may wish to leave the design as it is or else go on to achieve the same design as mine.
6. For this, you will need some steel beads (I got mine off ebay at a really cheap price for 18 different colours). Dip a dotting tool or toothpick in the clear top coat and pick the beads one by one and arrange them on the nail following the curve of the tip. Do this while the top coat applied in the previous step is still wet.
7. Allow a few minutes for everything to dry and top coat again to finish!
Happy New Year everyone :)
