Yin and Yang Nail Tutorial

Hiya Everyone!

I was recently asked to do some nails for a photo shoot and the main colour inspiration was black and white, so I decided to do some Yin and Yang nail art and it was surprisingly easy to do so I wanted to share a quick tutorial with you all!

Here is a close up from the shoot, keep reading to learn how to do it yourself!

My Product Picks:

1. Topshop Base & Top coat- £5 Get it here // 2. Barry M Nail Paint White- £2.99 Get it here // 3. Barry M Nail Paint Black- £2.99 Get it here // 4. Nail dotters- £1.45 Get it here

1. Begin by tidying up cuticles and shaping the nail edge

2. Apply your base coat and allow to dry

3. Apply 2 coats of white varnish and allow both to dry

4. Put a layer of vaseline around the nail to cover skin, obviously all steps are optional but I just recommend this if you don't have a steady hand and often get nail varnish all over your skin which always happens to me on my right hand!

5. Get your black varnish and remove excess from the brush, begin at the free nail edge about 1/4 in from the side you want white and draw a curved line to about half way down the nail bed and fill this in (the photography tutorial below demonstrates this)

6. Now start your next line 3/4 of the way in at the base of your nail bed and curve the line the opposite way from before and join up with existing shape, try to keep the motion as smooth as possible. Fill in any areas and take a cotton bud to clean up any excess that may have gone onto the skin- leave to dry

7. Apply your top coat and again leave to dry

8. Finish your manicure with a drop of cuticle oil on each finger
