Beauty Tips for Women: Aztec Manicure

Sharing a simple Aztec inspired manicure.  I used Aztec decals from Make It Stick. Make It Stick has a great selection of nail decals to choose from and they do decals for doors and walls.  Check them out at www.makeitstickdesign.com.   Here is picture of the Aztec decals.

For this manicure I used SinfulShine Mardi Gras and Venique Wingtip White.  I used two coats for each polish.

For my left hand, I decided to cut one of the diamond shapes and use each half on my accent nails. I filled in the empty space with SinfulShine Mardi Gras and placed two triangles towards the top.  I had to use two coats of top coat to help seal in the decals.

For my right hand, I just placed the diamond shapes in the middle and used two coats of top coat.

So here are the supplies for my Santa Hat manicure: Tape, dotting tools, Venique base coat, Venique WingTip White, Orly Unlawful, Color Club fast dry top coat. Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 274

I started off with taping my nails in the shape of the hat to get that crisp line.  I then applied Venique base coat.
