Memorial Day is just around the corner, which not only means that summer is officially here, but also that it’s time to start creating the most patriotic of manis for your clients! Start off with some perfectly chic nail art for that first of many seasonal barbecues using this easy step-by-step from Orly.
A modern, patriotic take on the classic French manicure, your nails will be full of the Americana spirit! Let this look inspire you to create it yourself, or explore new ideas. When you do, show us your version on Instagram with #NAILPRO!
Here’s the breakdown in four easy steps:
1. Prep nails with Orly Bonder Rubberized Base Coat ($11).
2. Paint a diagonal stripe of Orly Pointe Blanche ($8.50) on the side of the free edge.
3. Paint a diagonal stripe of Orly Haute Red ($8.50) over half of the Pointe Blanche.
4. Paint a diagonal stripe of Orly Under the Stars ($8.50) from the new Coastal Crush collection on the opposite free edge, slightly overlapping the first two stripes.
There you have it! Your clients’ nails are set for any American pride activity this summer.
