Check it all (above), but not without catching Dana explain the easiest way to switch up your fall manicure!
CocoPerez.com has an EXCLUSIVE tutorial to show you sport some art on your nails, so if you follow her step-by-step GIF guide (below) or even watch the tutorial video, you’ll be rocking a fierce mani in no time!
Step 1: Start with a base coat, applying a coat on each nail from top to bottom. Here, she used one by Orly. Then begin to apply your fall color on each nail. Dana chose Essie‘s fall color, Wicked, to really make this mani pop!
Tip: If you find that your nail color is starting to bleed onto your skin, wipe up any of the polish with some acetone (aka nail polish remover) while it’s still wet. A small brush like the one here does the trick easily — and really gets into those corners!
Step 2: Find your perfect nail sticker. You’ll want one that will fit your nail bed, but will also give you that perfect look you’re going for. Then by taking a tweezer, gently lift up the sticker and by starting at the cuticle area of the nail, smooth it down the nail bed. Though once they’re on, they’re on — so make sure to pull it tight to get a flawless, even design.
Step 3: Once applied to each nail, clip off the excess sticker with a scissor.
Step 4: If the edges aren’t perfect, don’t worry. Feel free to tuck any leftover under the tip of the nail and file it down to get an even edge.
Step 5: You can add a top coat if you want that extra sheen, but it’s in no way necessary.
Show them off! You’re all done!!
Yay! You’ve created your perfect nail art mani — and without all the messiness and frustration that comes with drawing on your own designs.
And once you’re completely over the look, simply soak your nails in acetone to remove the stickers! It’s crazy how easy it is.
Give it a try and let us know what you think in the comments (below)!
P.S. Tune into the season finale of Boss Nails airing Tuesday, September 29, 9/8c on Oxygen to catch the launch party for her Imperial Nails line.
