Good evening! A week or two ago, I decided to try out one of the latest nail art trends known as border nails, outlined nails, or frame nails. I first discovered the look through tumblr.(Want to check out my tumblr? Click here! Haha that sounds way to self promotional but if you want feel free to check it out and if you have a tumblr, let me know in the comments) Some of the looks are incredible with a color very thinly bordering on the outside. For my first approach, I tried thicker lines.
Some people start with the "border" color and allow it to try. Afterwards they tape off sections or carefully paint the color on top. When I did this manicure, I painted my main color first, Ma.nish.ma Electric Blue, and then using a striping brush created blue lines with Essence Walk on Air. Next time, I'm definitely trying the other method as I suppose it is easier to create thiner lines. On a side note, Electric Blue is a gorgeous neon blue shimmer that dries matte. It can be found at Rite Aid.
All photos are taken outside with natural lighting.
Want to know something funny? Whenever I go outside to take nail pictures, the scene below usually happens. His name is Buddy and he hates being left out.
He also loves playing catch with a tennis ball and will go to extreme lengths to ensure his priorities.
Have you ever tried 'border' nails or have any suggestions for color combinations? I want to try using more contrasting colors next time. Oh, and have a great day!
On To The Next Polish,
Katie
