Simple yet Chic

Today I am going to share a very simple design. A pale pink mixed with dark brown with a champagne gold accent. To achieve this look, you will need a pale pink polish, a dark brown polish, a champagne gold glitter polish, some Scotch tape and some gold studs. Alternatives will be mentioned below.

1. First, apply base coat to all your nails.

2. Apply pink polish to the thumb, index and middle finger. Apply champagne glitter to the ring finger. Apply brown polish to pinky.

3. Put several strips of Scotch tape on your index finger as shown below. Apply brown polish on it. Remove the tapes carefully.

4. Use a stick and some clear polish to set the studs on your middle finger to form a straight line on the left side of your nail as shown below.

5. Apply top coat to all of your nails and you are done.

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. Before taping, stick the Scotch tape to your hand several times to reduce the stickiness of it. If you make mistakes like I did, use a nail art pen to fix it. It doesn't matter if the surface is uneven. A good top coat will smooth it out.

Some alternatives:
No champagne gold glitter and dark brown polish? Use a regular gold glitter and Black polish.
No gold studs? Use a dotting tool or a bobby pin with some gold polish.
No Scotch tape? Use a nail art pen to draw the border line. I do recommend using Scotch tape because it is so much easier.
