NOTD: Color Block Nails

Hello my lovely readers, happy Friday and hope everyone will have a great weekend. Today's post is NOTD. I really rarely change my nails within a week, I usually keep my manicure for about a week. I haven't done the color block style nails so I decided to do it this time. Here's what I came up with.


I did want something toned down so I chose a nude polish with 2 different pink colors. To make it more playful I altered the order of the pink colors as you can see on the picture. It super easy to create, here is the
tutorial:

  • First apply your base coat and let it dry.
  • Take a nude color of your choice and apply it as your background color.
  • After the background color is completely dry take 2 pieces of decorative tape and form an X on half of your nail. If you don't have decorative tape just cut two slim pieces of scotch tape.
  • Now take the first nail polish and fill the triangle that is at edge of your nail.
  • With your other nail polish fill the other 2 triangles, be careful to do not go other the triangle at edge of the nail.
  • Let the nail polishes dry for about 5 mins, or less if the nail polishes dry fast, and then peel off the 2 pieces of tape.
  • Apply your top coat and you're DONE.
  • Enjoy :)
