Purim
is a time to have fun with different nails designs and colors! It is an
exciting time and a time to get creative...
1.
Get all your nail
polishes and tools needed for your design ready and close by.
2, Paint your clean
and dry nails with a good base coat such as Essie First Base http://www.essie.com/Nail-Care/base-coat.aspx#base-coat
3. Paint two coats
of a neutral nail colour. I used Essie Sand Tropez http://www.essie.com/Colors.aspx , but really you can use any lighter color you like.
4. Begin with your
first image with a dotting tool to form the megillah, and continue for the
different images of choice. Get creative with the colors...there is no “right”
or “wrong”.
I created a
megillah, hamentashen, crown, grager and a mask. If you find this too “noisy”
you can always choose one image and paint onto only the ring finger.
5. Wait for about a
½ hour to let the images dry as much as possible.
6. Protect your
design with a good top coat. I use Essie Good To Go http://www.essie.com/Nail-Care/base-coat.aspx#base-coat . I often do my nails at night and go to sleep soon
after. This top coat dries really fast so no sheet marks!
Note: The best method for putting on the top coat is
to dip the brush into the bottle, wipe gently and then place at the top of the
nail and lightly brush downward. It is best to only use 3 strokes (centre, left
and right)
Tools Used:
Dotting tool
Thin brush
Plasic bag to mix polishes on
Regular polish brushes
