Hi, hello, hello girls, how are you? Nice to learn a super delicate shaded nail version inspired by shay8815 So let’s move on to the tutorial!
The enamels used were these, in addition to a white (or almost white) base: Celeste Blue, by Colorama – Lilac, by Revlon – Valsa, by Panvel – Via L-tta, by Colorama
- Start with the white base nails (it can be any creamy white varnish.
- Mine was a very light pink.
- Almost white that was already on the nails a few days ago!Hehe).
In a cosmetic sponge, such as latex, strip with the desired shaded colors, in this case pink, lilac and blue, the lines do not need to be straight. It is also important to mix colors wherever they are.
Then press the sponge over the nails. The first layer is very weak, but that’s right, do it on all nails wherever you want the effect. I needed three layers to get the tone I wanted.
Reapply the enamels on the sponge and press the nails into layers, do not forget to let lightly dry between layers, make as many layers as you need until you get the desired effect, in the nearest part of the cuticle use the tip of the sponge with enamel (pink, in this case) to prevent the white enamel from looking in the corners.
Finishing with a layer of translucent enamel (in this case I used the Milky Way) to soften/lighten the effect, in shaded versions in red and black tones I would use Rebu enamel to finish, a good option are the enamels of Viagem Transl-cida Collection of Colorama, to end up shaded in different shades, since the line has shades of green, lilac, blue, orange, gray, all with a translucent case!You can abuse creativity ;)!
I ended up with a finishing layer to help with drying. I used Out Of The Door (sorry, this one is imported!). We have to sell here.
The effect was very soft, I hope you like it and you will make several combinations !;)
Any suggestions for upcoming tutorials?
