Rainbow Tie-Dye Nails


My new favorite nails! I love how colorful and fun these are! I used Art Club's "Rainbow Brights" nail polish. I also used Essie's "All In One Base", Sally Hansen's "White On", and Sally Hansen's "Diamond Shine Top Coat". 

I always start out my manicures off by trimming and filing my nails. Then, I apply my base coat. Essie's base coat is one of my favorites! A base coat really helps the manicure last. 

After my base coat completely dried, I did a quick single coat of white. This was so that hopefully when you did the tie-dye, plain nail wouldn't show through and just the white would. You can skip this step if you want to. But, if you chose to put the white on, you have to make sure that it's totally 100% dry.


Then, start the strips in rainbow order. I made sure that the colors matched up with the other nail next to it. You definitely want to make sure you glob on a bit more polish than usual so that you can tie-dye them.




After that, take a tooth pick and gently run 3 lines through the colors. You want to make sure that the colors haven't dried. This is very important!


Then, drag the tooth pick from the other side toward the side that you just started on.

  
Take a top coat once the nails have dried. And voila! You have tie-dye nails!
