Tutorial: Gun-Metal Nails by Layering Polishes

Hello everybody! :)

One of the trends this spring (hehe. feeling American!) for nails is Gun-Metal Gray. Since I am restricted by my self-imposed challenge to purchase any other colors than the ones I already own, I discovered an amazing technique to make it seem like I have more colors than I actually do.

This technique is layering polishes. I will show you how to achieve a gunmetal gray effect by layering polishes.

Caronia Nail Hardener & Base Coat

Caress Frosted Nail Polish in Silver Frost

Winmax Nail Art Enamel in Black

Bobbie Basic Special Quick Dry

First, apply your choice of base coat.

Second, apply any black nail polish. As I have said in a past post, I ran out of my old black polish so, all I had left was this nail art polish which had a super thin brush and it left streaky lumps, but that's okay.

Next, pick a very sheer silver nail polish and apply a very thin coat of it so that the black still peeks through a bit.

Then, there you go. As I've said, my nail polish is very streaky cause I used a nail art polish. It'll look lots better if you use a polish with a regular sized brush.

So, yeah! Look forward to more spring-related posts because I have been very into the trends for spring lately.

Hope you like!
