Nail Tutorial Colour Contrast




Colour Contrast Dots

Dotting in the month of September



Colour Contrast : The arrangement of opposite elements in a piece to create visual interest, excitement & drama. Example, white vs black, light vs dark.

This nail art plays with a darker shade and neutral shade against a medium tone. I'm experimenting with 3 colour, Red / Yellow / Green.  

Things you need:

  1. Poshe Base Coat
  2. Seche Vite Top Coat
  3. Red Nail Polish - Big hair... Big nails
  4. Yellow Nail Polish - Sun-kissed
  5. Green Nail Polish - Be more pacific
  6. Nude nail Polish - That's putting it mild





For Dots:
  1. Pink Dot - Sugar high 
  2. Orange Dot - Rouguish red 
  3. Green Dot - Jade is the new black
  4. Nude Dot - same as nail polish above
  5. Dotting tools - Small and Large size dots









Here's How:
 Step 1 - Clean up your nails with Basic Manicure and apply Base coat after
 Step 2 - Apply 2 coats of Red, Yellow, Green & Nude nail polish to nails
 Step 3 - Prepare pink & nude dotting nail polish on palette
                      - Using Large dotting tool, start by doting 3 pink dots
 Step 4 - Using Small dotting tool, dot on as many small pink dots in the 
                        negative space (space that have not been dotted)
 Step 5 - Using Small dotting tool, dot on Nude dots
                      - Layer nude dots onto the pink dots
 Step 6&7 - Repeat Step 3-5 for both Orange and Green Nail
 Step 8 - Using Step 3-5 onto Nude nail, here use pink/orange/green dots
                      - Mix Small & Large size dotting tool and layer
 FInish - Apply Top Coat and you are done!


Contrasting Light vs Dark is the easiest and you can never go wrong with that.

Let Contrast be our bestfriend
