Nails: Hot Pink Nails with Zebra Print Tips

Without Top Coat


With Top Coat



I was browsing through Youtube and I came across this makeup guru Julieg713. She's a nail genius honestly. This was a replica of her idea so credits belong to her. I basically just recreate it. It's my first time I did everything free hand so I know it's pretty messy but I had a good practise~ :)
I used OPI That's Hot! Pink with Revlon new shade Black Lingerie and Silky Girl every Glossy White nail polish to achieve this look. Do search for Julieg713 on youtube to check out her tutorial, it's superb but here's the basic steps.

  1. Put on base coat. (I use Orly Ridgefiller Primer Basecoat)
  2. Put on hot pink nail polish (Or any color you desire)
  3. Wait for pink lacquer to dry alittle (approx 5 min)
  4. Paint on black nail polish along the tips like French Manicure (Make the black tip broad :))
  5. Wait for black polish to dry (approx 3-5 min)
  6. Using a striper brush or eyeliner brush randomly paint on the white stripes on the black polish to make the tip resemble zebra prints :)
  7. Wait for the lacquer to dry then apply top coat. :)
