SinfulColor's SinfulShine with Gel Tech Nail Art Tutorial

SinfulColor's SinfulShine with Gel Tech Nail Art Tutorial

I was so excited when Influenster asked me to make a tutorial with my Nail Art. I will try and make this as easy as possible. 

1. Two different colors from the SinfulColor's SinfulShine line. I used the colors Break Away #1222 and Pragmatic #1220
2. Painters tape - I found using scotch tape became a problem because it was too tacky and would ruin my base polish.
3. Tooth pick - To apply the design.
4. Paper Plate - I tend to be messy while painting my nails this way I don't ruin any surfaces like the counter or the table.

Apply your base color to all your nails. Here I used the lighter color Pragmatic #1220 for my base. Wait for them to completely dry before starting the next step.  Also if you apply thin coats and allow them to dry completely in between each coat it helps ensure your nails are dry before applying the tape.

After your nails are completely dry you apply the tape to each nail at a slight diagonal.  Make sure there are no air bubbles at the seam this way you are sure to get a cleaner line.

Take the darker polish I used the color Break Away #1222, and paint the visible part of your nail. I use about 2 coats for the lower half. 

I found that for me my lines are crisp and clean if I remove the tape prior to the polish drying. This is just a personal preference.

 

Place a few drops of the nail polish on the plate. This is when you are going to use your tooth pick to to create the dots. 

           

I tried to evenly place my dots but if it not perfect just think of it as a one of a kind master piece.

Next I flip my tooth pick around this way I don't run my colors together and I do the same thing with the opposite side.

At this point if your anything like me all you need to do is use some nail polish remover for the skin around your nails and your done.
