Tie Dye Inspired Mani

 

I loved this jumper's pattern when I was scrolling through TOPSHOP's website and decided to do some nail art to match it.

 

There's a lot of tie dye clothing out there so why not have a change and have tie dye nails!

You can play about with different colours, using as many different shades as you want. I just happen to be in the mood for pink tie dye

  

What you need:

 

1. Plastic wallet/Sandwich bag
2. Saffron - Colour 11 -White (or any light pink)
3. Saffron - Colour 59 - Pink (or any white)
4. Acetone/Polish Remover
5. Scissors
6. Sally Hansen Base & Top Coat (or any base or top coat)

 

What to do :

1. Grab your plastic wallet/Sandwich bag and cut 10 pieces that will fit over your nail - leave excess plastic to hold on to (do not cut to the exact size of your nail) You may want to cut a few extra in case of mistakes
2. Apply your chosen white polish over all 10 nails - wait until dry (My saffron polish takes 10minutes until it is dry enough for me to touch)
3. Apply a few splodges of pink randomly over your nail and place a few white in-between so that the pink doesn't merge together - Do one nail at a time!
4. Quickly before the polish dries place one of your plastic pieces over your nail and roll your finger over the top from one side to the other - lightly.
5. Remove the plastic after completing step 4. If the pink has merged together apply a small blob of white polish in-between and repeat step 4. Keep doing this until you are happy with the design.
6. Repeat step 3,4&5 on the remaining 9 nails
7. Once finished apply your top coat, and Voilà you now have tie dye nails!
