This week I am sporting a gunmetal grey and light pink manicure. I used Sally Hansen hard as nails extreme wear in gunmetal (grey) and OPI Nail Lacquer in Suzi sells sushi by the sea shore (pink). Here is a picture:
How to get this look:
1. Paint nails fully grey *Important* MUST be fully dry ( I suggest fully painting your nails grey a day or two before you add the pink )
2. Place tape diagonally on your nail covering the part you want to be grey. Make sure that the tape is going on with the straight side on your nail.
3. Press the tape down on your nail so it is secured and there are no bubbles or bumps. If you peel it back slowly and your grey coat is dry you don't need to worry about the polish coming off.
4. Paint 2-3 coats of the pink.
5. Peel off the tape slowly, you can do this while the pink is wet just don't wiggle the tape.
6. Finish with top coat!
Your beautiful nails are ready!
I love this look and have gotten tons of compliments because it is so cool looking yet so easy. This can also be done with any colors, contrasting colors and complimentary colors look best but experiment!
