NOTD: tie dye slash acid wash nails

Hey Guys!

Sorry about the claw hand pose lol

A nail of the day fresh off the press :)

It's supposed to be a acid wash/tie dye effect nail and was really easy to do and no special tools or polish needed.

"Recipe"

2 nail colours

Base and top coat (optional)

Cotton buds

Nail polish remover

Step One [ABOVE pic]:

Paint your nails with the darker polish (mine are painted in collection 2000 in ebony). Let them dry completely

Step Two [BELOW pic]:

Paint completely over your nails in the lighter polish (mine colour of choice was boots no7 in the limited 60's mini skirt). Let them dry completely

Step Three [BELOW pic]:

Now comes the fun bit. This was my first time and I was a bit inpatient but I think second time round it will look nicer, but anyway...

Get your cotton bud and dip it into nail polish remover (you want it totally saturated but not dripping wet) and then just GENTLY rub it over your nail until you get the desired effect (as you rub the top polish colour, the bottom polish colour is exposed).
