Quick 'Peeling Nails' Tutorial

This manicure originally appeared on my blog over a year ago. Since then it has generated quite a number of pins and repins on Pinterest as well as requests for a tutorial. Not to keep you waiting any longer here it is my quick pic tutorial.

OPI Planks A Lot and Steady As She Rose.

The main thing is to pick two colours that belong to the same family one light and one dark. I've tried it with two completely different colours and the peeling effect doesn't work so well and the mani ends up looking abstract. If you have a go at this or have any questions let me know. Anna x

Peeling Nails NOTD

Hey guys today I want to show you a quick nail design I came up with that I've named 'Peeling Nail'!!! I know the name doesn't make it sound very appealing but hopefully you'll understand the logic (or not ) behind it. I was messing about with some polishes and thought it would look cool if the top nail colour looked like it was peeling in the corner to reveal another colour underneath. This is what I finally came up with. Not sure if the intention is obvious but I'm quite happy with the overall design.


You can paint the tips any colour or even make a pattern. The triangle bit in the center is supposed to be the peeling bit!

Perhaps a little shading would help with the effect?

And a white polish!

Anyway I hope you liked the design and will give it a go. If you do be sure to show me!

Sorry this post is short, I've been doing 12 hour shifts and am shattered!
