10. Matte Lines & Rhinestone Curves
Understated elegance with a modern twist! This design features a soft nude base with delicate, thin black curved lines creating beautiful negative space. This is contrasted perfectly with solid matte black nails ☍ . The curved rhinestone border accentuating the nude space is the perfect finishing touch.
- How to Recreate:
- Apply base coat. Paint some nails solid black and let dry completely.
- On the remaining nails, apply a sheer nude polish ☍ .
- Using a very fine nail art brush ☍ and black polish, carefully draw thin curved lines. Practice on paper first! These lines often follow the smile line or create abstract shapes.
- Apply nail glue ☍ along one edge of the negative space created by the black lines and place a curved row of small rhinestones ☍ .
- Apply a glossy top coat ☍ over the nude/lined/rhinestone nails.
- Apply a matte top coat ☍ over the solid black nails.
