Steps NOTD

As you probably have noticed, I like a simple NOTD. I like to be creative, but I am just not so good at intricate type nail art, unfortunately. 
As I often do, I come across a cute design on Youtube. It included the word easy, so I was more than willing to give it a go.


After prepping my nails with Orly Bonder base coat, for this look, I was required to choose 4 colours, a base colour, then 3 other colours for the "step" design. I went with pinks and a gorgeous deep burgundy colour. Going from the lightest colour to darkest, I began with a pale pink base colour. Then to create the step design, I simply applied 3 strokes of polish, starting from the inside of the nail, making each stroke slightly shorter than the previous one. With the following 2 colours, I just repeated, but made each stroke to be shorter than each applied shade (I really hope that this is making sense, lol) Before the final step, I applied Essie Luxeffects to my entire nail, just for a touch of bling :)









I hope I haven't bored you with all my pics, but I was just so happy with result. So easy, and the colour combos that could be used are endless!

  5. Hey doll I so love it when you get up to your "easy peasy" nail art creations - the results are always stunning, and this is especially so. The colors you chose are so complementary, bright, fun, and elegant too. Looking forward to more combos from the rainbow of polishes in your collection xxx
