How fab do these monochrome nails look? Nail art blogger, Polly Polish has put together a step-by-step guide of how you can achieve the look too.
What you’ll need: White nail varnish, black nail varnish, base and top coat, Scotch Magic Tape, scissors, tweezers.
Follow these eight simple steps:
1) Apply a base coat and leave to dry.
2) Apply a thin coat of white polish (or two depending on opacity) and leave to dry.
3) Prepare some narrow 2mm wide strips of Scotch Magic tape using a sharp pair of scissors. Rest the edge of the strips on the edge of a clean object so that they can be easily picked up later.
4) When the white polish is dry arrange the strips in your chosen pattern on all of the nails. We have chosen to use opposing diagonal lines to create a striking monochrome look. Make sure they are smooth and in full contact with the nail but don't push on too hard. Use tweezers if you find it too fiddly with your fingers.
5) Once the tape is applied, paint one nail in black nail polish – painting over the white undercoat and the tape.
6) While the black polish is still wet, slowly remove the tape on the black nail piece by piece, using tweezers. Have a tissue handy to put the used pieces of tape on to.
7) Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each nail one by one.
8) Leave until touch dry and then apply a top coat.
