Hi Everyone, this year in particular I have seen a lot of amazing pop art make up tutorials popping out all over youtube for halloween
I thought it was such a fun subject, so today I have for you a POP Art French tip Manicure design
Wear it on its own to brighten up your nails or match it to go with any of those fancy POP Art Makeup ideas and turn yourself into a piece of 2D Art
Let me know in the comments what your favourite Halloween candy is
As always start with base coat to protect your nails
Next I'm going to freehand a basic French tip manicure using the brush that comes with the nail polish bottle
I'm using the 3 stroke technique to apply the French tip color over 1/3 of my nail
if you haven't seen my 10 ways to create French tip manicures video, there are heaps of options you can choose from to create French tips depending on your skill level
So check out that video if you need any help doing your French tips
Grab the smallest dotting tool and add in some evenly spaced black dots
Then use a striper brush and follow the curve of the tip color you applied to section off the French tip color
apply a second line slightly lower than the first to create sort of a horizontal y shape
Next to create an action bubble on the corner, start with some lines going in the center of the shape to mark the points
Then join the lines on the edges to fill in the remaining shape of the bubble.
You can fix it a little and extend the lines to the desired shape.
Its best to start small and build outwards towards the shape that you want
While we let that first layer of color to try. Use a silver striper and add a third line inbetween the first 2 lines to create the swoosh look
Next use a white nail polish and apply the same steps to make a smaller white bubble shape within the black to create the border look
For those of you who loves the look of French tips but don't have the nail length to pull it off
Wrong, you can totally do French tips on short nails too
Follow the steps I mentioned and cover 1/3 of the nail with the tip color and you too can have French tips
Checkout my French tip manicure playlist linked in the description below to find more cool designs you can try
Once you're done, apply top coat to seal in the design and prolong the wearing time of your manicure
