Cost: $
Point of Project: to get a salon design on my toes without the price
So this is a bit different than the rest of my DIY Pintrest projects, but still a money saver. The original pin was on fingernails, but I thought it would be adorable on toes! Please also let me apologize now for my less than beautiful toes:) Going back to the money saving aspect, the pedicures that I have had before cost around $25, then $5 per design; hence the reason I usually only get a design on my big toe. So $30 plus a tip is a lot to pay for pretty feet and this design is so easy, yet super fun. The next time I do this will probably be in the summer, but I was to excited to try it out, so here we are mid-January with my Pop of Color Toes!
Supplies:
- feet :)
- Bright white nail polish
- 5 to 6 other brightly colored nail polishes
- Clear Top Coat
- Make sure your feet and toe nails are clean. Then paint each nail with 1 to 2 coats (depending on how it is covering) of white nail polish.
- Wait for the white to dry COMPLETELY- do not get impatient people!
- Open your first color and wipe off the brush on the inside of your bottle as best you can so there is mostly just color on the tip. Then gently dab three little circles, or "pops" per toe in a triangle pattern. For your left foot you will do this in the upper right corner; your right foot will be in the upper left corner.
- Repeat this process until you have used all of your bright colors or you run out of room. You may not get a triangle pattern for each color but try to fill in the upper corners so the "pops" are close together.
- Wait for your "pops" to try COMPLETELY- again do not get impatient. If they aren't dry when you apply the Top Coat, they will smear and your effect is ruined.
- Apply a good coat of Top Coat over the top to protect the design and make it shiny and even. Wait for this to dry before you move around- you don't want to smudge this and then have to start all over:)
