Vibrant Mix & Match

Vibrant Mix & Match nail tutorial

Today, I am going share a mix & match design with a more energetic feel to it. I like neutral tone nails. Whenever I can't think of a specific theme, I usually reach for the nudes and the neutral colors. However, sometimes you just want something fun and bold. That is why I thought of this nail design. To achieve this look, you will need a white polish, black polish, dark blue polish, orange red polish, a gold glitter polish, some clear rhinestones, some striping tapes, and a dotting tool.

Vibrant Mix & Match

1. First, apply base coat to all your nails.
2. Apply base color according to the photo below.

3. For your middle finger, put a stone at the corner of your nail. It will be used as a guide for the polka dots.

4. Use a dotting tool to draw some dots with a white polish.
5. For your thumb, draw some dots without the rhinestone.

6. Use striping tape on your index finger. Apply black polish on it. Then, remove it carefully.

Remember to let the polishes dry completely before putting tapes on them. You can apply a thin coat of fast drying top coat before taping if you like. If you make mistakes, use a nail art brush to fix it. It doesn't matter if the surface is uneven. A good top coat will smooth it out.

Some alternatives:
Striping tape: You can use a nail art liner or a thin nail art brush instead. Use some scotch tape to cover the sides of your finger and draw the lines carefully.
Rhinestone: You can skip the stones. Just draw the dots with white polish.
Orange red polish: You can use red polish instead.
