This is a personal blog and I talk about/repost whatever I find interesting, diverting, or beautiful. Topics include but aren't limited to: politics, feminism, race/ethnicity, social/economic justice, art, history, literature, cute animals, pop culture, other nonsense. I credit/link back to sources whenever possible. More about this blog
A cool, modern twist on the French mani. It is also pretty easy to do. You just need scotch tape, black nail polish and a matte top coat. Apply the black polish, wait until it dries, then tape the tips of your nails before applying the matte top coat.
Apply base color (OPI’s matte Lincoln Park After Dark), wait until it dries. Use scotch tape to cover the base of your nails (put the pieces of tae on your palm to make them less sticky) and paint the tips with normal black polish. This also works with regular Lincoln Park After Dark and a matte top coat (I prefer Essie’s Matte About You).
Ladies, take note. This is hot.
Mmm matte black nails.
Doin’ this sometime. Yep.
Faaaaack!
