Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Barry M 348 Prickly Pear
• Cairuo Blueberry 13
• Rimmel 430 Porcelain 
• Cairuo Top Coat 
• Masking tape
• Small paintbrush

Step 1

Paint your nails with the pale purple. 

Step 2

Stick a corner of the tape over the two sides of your nail and paint over your whole nail in the dark purple to make this effect. Peel the tape off immediately so it doesn't pull off the edges of the dark purple.

Step 3

Using the paintbrush, paint white crosses across your nails.

Step 4

Cover your nails in the top coat. Surprisingly, it actually brings out the dark purple a lot - in the photo below, the finger on the right has a top coat on and the one on the left does not!
