Carmen's Polished Nails

A girl's journey into the world of nail art

Colour Blocks Tutorial

on March 20, 2012

Here’s a quick and easy tutorial for you all. It’s a good design where you can pick just about any colours you want. I was searching through decorating and wallpaper sites to get inspiration for my room makeover and I came across this wallpaper design:

Colour Block Nail Inspiration

I love black, white, and grey but I don’t have a nice gradient set of polishes in grey so I decided to use other colours. I also wanted to use glitter for some reason so all the colours I picked except for the black are glitter polishes. But like I said, you are more than welcome to use your own colours and make the design your own.  :) Let’s get started!

Pictures of the final look:

* please excuse the repeated “inspiration pattern” I can’t seem to get it off the gallery here

Items I used:

  1. Finger Paints Base Coat
  2. L.A. Colors Art Deco in Black
  3. L.A. Colors Art Deco in Green Glitter
  4. Kiss Nail Art Paint in Gold Glitter
  5. Revlon in Firecracker
  6. China Glaze in Dorothy Who?
  7. Beauty Secrets Top Coat

Here’s how I created this look:

I have to apologize for my dry hands. I handle a lot of boxes at work on Tuesdays and my hands dry out so fast that and the next day despite how much I use moisturizer.  Hopefully you liked this design. I may have to try this design again with other colours. I’d love to find the right shades to make a nice monochromatic design.

I will try to get my review for the polishes I recently bought on here some time before the week is done. I don’t want to promise anything in case I can’t get it
