Welcome to Third World Nails!
This is Lav and I'm going to show you how I did these tie-dye french tips.
Let's begin! 🤗
First, I always wipe my nail beds with a lint-free wipe sprayed with alcohol.
I'm going to apply two thin coats of nail hardener base coat.
Let the first coat dry for a minutes before applying the second one.
For the base, I'm going to use a pink nude shade.
I have this bottle for more than 5 years now but look at that consistency and coverage. 👏
Since I'm going to use a nail vinyl for this design,
I'm going to apply a fast dry top coat.
For easy cleanup, I'm going to apply washable glue on the upper half of my fingertips.
Let the glue dry.
While waiting for the glue to dry, I decided to paint some "draft" color arrangements for the tie-dye design.
I'm going to use the regular half-moon-shaped nail vinyl.
To avoid sticky residue on the base color, I'm going to stick the nail vinyl on the back of my palm first.
Since my nails are not that long, I placed the vinyl just above the middle.
I'm going to apply a drop of the mint blue shade.
Then the coral shade...
and the periwinkle one.
I'm using a dotting tool to "merge" the two adjacent colors through a zig-zag motion.
Make sure to clean the dotting tool after merging two adjacent colors.
Remove the nail vinyl immediately.
Time to seal the manicure with my favorite topcoat.
Done! 😍
Thank you very much for watching! 🥰
