Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Patriotic Nails
Step One: Nail Preparation
To start this stunning nail design, you first need to prep the client's nails. Apply the TruDIP Base to three-quarters of the nail. Next, dip the nail into a dish containing TruDIP in Clear. After brushing off any excess powder, apply the base again on the entire nail and dip it into French White.
Step Two: Adding the Blue Field
The next step is to create the blue field for the flag. Using TruDIP Base, paint a square in the top left corner of the nail at the cuticle area. Dip the nail into a dish containing Boozy Blue to achieve that beautiful blue shade.
Step Three: Painting the Stars
Next, grab your EzFlow Nail Art Detailing Brush. Using the TruDIP Base, carefully paint stars within the blue square and immediately dip into French White powder for a crisp, bright finish. This step is essential for giving your patriotic design that eye-catching detail.
Step Four: Adding Stripes to the Flag
Using the same detailing brush, apply the TruDIP Base to paint flag strips across the exposed French White. Then, dip into a tray containing the shade Roxanne for a vibrant red. For sharper flag stripes, use the TruDIP Base to paint between the red stripes and dip into French White again.
Step Five: Finishing Touches
To seal your beautiful creation, apply the TruDIP Base on the entire nail and immediately dip into a tray with Clear powder. Follow up by applying TruDIP Activate, then file and shape the nail to perfection. Reapply the base and make sure to wipe the nail using EzFlow nail wipes before finishing off with two coats of TruDIP Seal for a glossy shine.
Pro Tips for a Flawless Finish
- Always brush off excess dipping powder between each step for cleaner lines.
- Keep your detailing brush clean by using TruDIP Brush Cleaner after every art step to maintain its effectiveness.
