color block nails.


omg, color blocking is everywhere! since i love it and it's become impossible to ignore -- i've incorporated it into my nail art for today!


essie "mint candy apple"/"nice is nice"/"tart deco"


directions:
paint base polish on 1/3 of the nail. the with the second polish paint horizontally at the 1/3 mark to create a defined line. continue to paint to the 2/3 mark. the with the third color paint horizontally at the 2/3 mark and continue to the tip. 


allow colors to sit for about 5 minutes then apply a top coat... and ta-da... color block nails!


xoxo, blair.


p.s. this takes an insane amount of patience... but you can do it + it's worth it! ;)
xoxo,

    1. Thanks Catherine! Btw, you totally taught me a new word the other day. I had no clue what a "snood" was (I admit, I googled it) -- But now I'm spreading the word over here like wildfire! Love it ;)
