TUTORIAL: ABSTRACT COLOUR TIPS

This is my current favourite nail style and it works in any colours! The polishes I use in this look are: Essie 'Wicked' 'A Cut Above' and 'Lovie Dovie', Models Own: 'Purple Blue'

STEP ONE: After using your preferred base coat ( I use Undercover by Sinful) paint the top half of the nail with Wicked or a different dark red colour.

STEP TWO: whilst the first colour is still wet (best to do steps one and two one nail at a time) blend Lovie Dovie or any pink polish out of the Wicked and cover the bottom of the nail in pink.

STEP 3: take the Purple Blue, or any other petrol effect or metallic polish and paint a big patch in the centre of the nail, covering where the first two colours meet. Be sure to leave some of the Wicked visible at the top of the nail.

STEP FOUR: for a finishing touch use A Cut Above or any pink polish you love in a point where the petrol colour joins the pink. All glitters will work with this look but I think it's best to use a larger glitter in the same colour as the tip ( same colour doesn't have to mean same shade ;) )

STEP FIVE: finish with a coat of your preferred top coat. Mine is Good To Go by Essie. 

I've also done a version of this look with yellow tips using a bright Colour Club polish and a yellow and gold Essie glitter seen here:

I want to see it in a neon blue tip next 💘
