How to create this look . . .
| Colors you need . . . |
Step 1 : First, I painted half of my thumb with Ruby Clarity by Sally Hansen. Then, with Flirt Alert by Pure Ice, I painted the other half of my thumb and blended them together to create a faded effect. I did the same thing for my middle finger (as shown below) and ring finger. In the picture above, you can see how I painted half of my finger pink (the line doesn't have to be perfect because it's going to be blended with another color). In the picture shown below, you can see how after I added the second color on the second half of my finger the colors automatically blended. | After blending the colors on my finger nails, they came out looking like this: I left my index finger and pinkie in solid colors. Step 2 : For the white tips, I used the same technique I did in my earlier tutorial; Varsity Stripes. First, I applied the tape to the back of my hand. After I did that, I pealed it off. I did this several times until the tape was only mildly adhesive. Then, I took the tape and carefully placed it on my finger nail right along the line of my natural tips. Then, I got the white nail polish (Hard to Get by Sally Hansen) and painted my tips white. | I did this for all of my nails. When I was finished, they looked liked this: Pink Fade : What I used . . .
