Nailed It: Stars & Stripes

Cap Manicure



Hello Everyone!
Here is a manicure inspired by Captain America, my favorite Marvel Hero:)
And just in time for the Fourth of July!


 
You will need:
- red, white and blue polish
- tape
- sharpened pencil (not pictured)
- paper plate

Step 1:
Start off with 2 coats of white polish.

Step 2:

Cut out thin pieces of tape.
Apply two to each nail, vertically from cuticle to tip.

Step 3:

Apply a single coat of red polish.
 
Step 4:
Remove tape.

Step 5:


Paint half of the nail blue.

Step 6:

Using your pencil, draw little stars on each nail by dipping the pencil in white polish.
Be sure not to press too hard.

**Note**
The stars on my fingers are much less defined than the ones on my thumbs.
You may do this technique, or have all the stars exactly the same, whatever you wish!

Ta-da!
Just add a top coat and clean up the edges and you're done :)




Thanks for stopping by!

Have a safe and wonderful holiday everyone!
