Master Patriotic Nail Art for Election Day
As Election Day approaches, express your patriotic spirit with a stunning, star-spangled manicure using EzFlow TruDIP. Nail artist Hoang “Lefty” Nguyen shares expert tips to guide you through each step.
Step-by-Step Guide to Patriotic Nails
1. Prep and Clear Coat
Begin by prepping your client’s nails. Apply TruDIP Base to cover 3/4 of the nail, then dip into a dish with TruDIP Clear. Remove excess powder and apply TruDIP Base over the entire nail, followed by a dip into the French White powder.
2. Create the Blue Field
Next, paint a square field at the top left corner of the nail using TruDIP Base, and dip it into Boozy Blue. This sets the foundation for stars and stripes.
3. Add the Stars
Using an EzFlow Nail Art Detailing Brush, paint small stars within the blue square. Dip the nail into a tray of French White to reveal bright white stars.
4. Design the Stripes
For the stripes, use the detailing brush to paint flag-like stripes across the visible French White area. Dip these areas in Roxanne. To sharpen the design, paint in between the red stripes with TruDIP Base and dip into French White.
5. Final Touch and Seal
Finish the look by applying TruDIP Base across the entire nail, dipping into Clear. Use TruDIP Activate, then file and shape the nail. Reapply TruDIP Base, clean with EzFlow wipes, and seal with two coats of TruDIP Seal for a glossy shine.
Pro Tips for a Perfect Finish
– Always brush off excess powder between each step.
– Keep your detailing brush clean with TruDIP Brush Cleaner to maintain precision.
