How To: Acid Wash Nails

This is a new "trend" inspired from jeans...When I first saw acid wash nails I wasn't very excited about it but then I decided to give it a try and I must say I quite like it.This is super easy to do and a great alternative if you can't or don't have the time to do nail art.
You can use the usual white and blue or pretty much any other color combination. I decided to go with greenish neon yellow with white on top.

Steps
  1. After your base coat apply two coats of your desired polish. Let it dry completely
  2. Then apply one coat of another polish and let it dry too
  3. Take a cotton swab dipped into 100% aceton nail polish remover start erasing some parts of the top polish color
  4. Apply your top coat and your done :)
Tips
  • Make sure your base color it COMPLETELY dry otherwise when you will erase the top color you will easily pick up and your base color
  • Don't stick for long to one only area because then you will erase your base color too
  • Make sure your cotton swab is well dipped into the polish remover as it will be easier to remove your top color
So this the before
 And this is the after
