Looking for a fresh updated look for your nails?  Well we’ve got you covered with this french tip with a twist.

  1. On clean dry nails, paint with a base coat like Essie First Base Base Coat ($8.50).
  2. Continue by giving nails at least two coats of the shade Essie Limo-Scene ($8.50).
  3. Once nails are dry add the copper metallic tips.  Using a striping brush or the paint brush, apply Essie Penny Talk ($8.50).

    Easter Nail Final Look

For those who celebrate Easter, this simple nail art look has you covered. So ready, set, let’s deconstruct…

  1. Choose your favorite base coat and paint over clean dry nails.  We used “Top 2 Bottom” by Orly ($11).
  2. Next, we painted all nails with the pastel pink color “Fiji” by Essie ($8.50).   Allow nails to dry completely.
  3. Now it’s time for the nail art that will be placed on the ring fingers as accent nails.  Take any small bobby pin, unless you have a dotter tool (we’ve used a dotter from the Monster Bundle 20 piece set $13.50), and open it up for easier handling.  Now lightly coat the bobby pin or dotter tool with a top coat and proceed to take a small rhinestone (we’ve used 1.2mm rhinestones from the Born Pretty Store $1.99) and gently place and push into your nail. NOTE: You may create any desired design. For this look, we simply created a vertical row using three 1.2mm rhinestones.
  4. Finish off painting your nails with your favorite top coat.  We topped them off with  “Gel Setter” by Essie ($10.00).
  5. Optional: Once nails are completely dry, gently massage some Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream ($6) to give hands a healthy glow.
