Add a new twist to your nail art with this simple DIY tutorial. Just use these simple products available at home and give yourself a manicure that looks as good as one done by a professional.

Things you need: A black nail paint, a white nail paint and base coat; a set of toothpicks, one empty cup, water and nail paint remover.

Step 1: Start with applying the base coat to your nails and let it dry. After it has dried, apply the black nail paint to your nails and wait until that is dry too.

Step 2: Fill half the empty cup with water and carefully pour one drop of the white nail paint in it. Make sure that water is at room temperature as this helps the nail paint spread evenly.

Step 3: Using a toothpick, draw a textured design on the nail paint and water mix in the cup just like it’s done in picture 5.

Step 4: Once you get the right texture, dip your finger in the cup for approximately 15 seconds until that design is replicated on to your nail. While the finger is still immersed, with the help of a toothpick wipe off the excess nail color to avoid it from sticking on to your skin as shown in the picture.

Step 5: Take out your finger from the cup and let the nail art dry completely. Once again, remove any excess nail paint with the help of some cotton and nail paint remover. Finish your look with a topcoat.

Easy, isn’t it? If you don’t have black or white nail paints, feel free to experiment with different colours. We suggest using shades of neon to create a chic summer look.
