Purple Rose Toe Nails

Hello Everyone!

It seems like it's been forever since I've posted something! Well, I painted my nails again and thought I'd share this cute, easy, and springy design with you!
(Sorry for my sunburnt feet!)


 
What you need:
 
  • A dotting tool
  • Green nail polish (I used Art Deco)
  • White nail polish (I used Art Deco)
  • Dark pink nail polish (I used Art Deco)
  • Light pink nail polish (I used an Ulta one)
  • Top/Base coat (I used Essie All in One)
  • Purple nail polish (I used Essie Lilacism)
























Before I paint my nails, I always take Vaseline and put it around my nails for easy clean up.

Step 1. Put on your clear base coat

Step 2. Paint your base color. I use a white under this particular color because it makes it more vibrant. I used OPI's white
 

 Step 3. Paint on the color your "main" color, in my case, Essie's Lilacism. Use as many coats as you need. I used 2.  

This is just demonstrating how it looks with a second coat:
 
Step 4. On your big toe, use a detailing brush and white polish to make some vertical stripes.
 
Step 5. With the large end of your dotting tool, place some of the dark pink polish in a circle on your toe.
 
Step 6. With the smaller end of the dotting tool, take the light pink polish and swirl it a little.
 
Step 7. Take your green polish and add 2 leaves on each side of the flower.
 



Let it dry and put your clear top coat on then clean the edges and you're all set!


I am currently sporting this pedicure and got tons of compliments on it at work today!

Try it out and let me know how you guys do!
