After much debating, I finally got my hands on a bottle OPI Sheer Tints top coat. Initially, I was a bit intimidated to try on a polish that helps add dimension to a look. After a little play time, I realized it’s great used alone, can help create a wash of transparent color, and even shift design when applied over a solid polish.
What you will need:
- Glitter
- Toothpicks
Step 1
1. Apply a base coat to clean and filed nails. Paint one thin coat of the purple sheer tint on all the nails.
Step 2
2. Re-apply a second coat of purple sheer tint slightly below the cuticle line following the shape of the nail to create a subtle gradient.
Step 3
3. One dry, paint a stroke of white polish to continue the gradient.
Step 4
4. Cover the entire nail with OPI sheer tint once more.
Step 5
5. Apply a second stroke of white polish with a starting point a little lower than the previous one.
Step 6
6. Place a blob of top coat on scratch paper and dip a toothpick in it to help pick up and place an individual glitter sequin in the center of the design.
Step 7
7. Once the entire nail is dry, seal in the look with top coat.
