Tutorial? Learn how to make lava nails with Melissa Menezes

Hello, hello, hello, girls! Everything is fine?

Today, the nail tutorial is much simpler than it looks and everyone can do it!What’s his name? (lava nails) and the effect is very interesting?

This photo dates back some time and I love the color scheme!

Let’s go step by step:

Select the two enamel colors you’ll want to use, remembering to use well-pigmented enamels so you don’t have to make multiple layers. Paint your nails with one color and the other color, paint diagonally down. I used the Celeste Blue, by Colorama (Single Layer collection) and Candy, from Hits (Helo Kitty collection).

Using a bowler or with the head of a pin, make balls (blue, in this case), leaning on the dividing line between colors.

Fill with balls following the diagonal line and trying to maintain the same space between them.

With the other color, make balls at the intervals, leaning on the diagonal line.

Fill the top of the nail with the balls keeping the same space/alignment and finish with a finishing layer (I used the film technique, which I taught here, to prevent the pearls from being maculated when brushing the finishing layer).

The end result is this! Everyone is intrigued to see and several friends wanted a tutorial. Isn’t it a lot easier than it sounds? Hope you guys liked it!
