Corset nail art - Tutorial


Hello!
Phew I was expecting a disaster with this manicure, but I somehow managed to avoid it. I have a nail art bucket list and decided to do more of those, so I picked the corset manicure for today's nails. I love how versatile this look is because it can work with any base, and it does add a sexy look. On to the pics!

Artificial light


To achieve this look, I started with 2 coats of Orly Roccoco A Go-Go, a beautiful gold/orange to purple glassfleck duochrome.



I then added 2 lines at the sides of each nail with a black nail art stripper.


Using a dotting tool, I added symmetrical dots on the black lines. I used Kleancolor Metallic Red and a Kleancolor Silver.



Finish the corset look by connecting the dots with black lines and adding top coat.



Thanks for reading and you can still enter my giveaway before it ends in a couple days!

  2. I love the colors you used. Yours looks good. I did one over the weekend but my corset was with bundle monster, and it was a fail.
