“You’re never fully dressed without a manicure.” That’s the motto of manicurist Shannan Cieara, better known as The Nail Dresser, of The Dressing Room Nail Bar in Suitland, MD.
Today, she shows us how to make these taped-off trees that clients will covet.
Supplies needed:
- Scotch tape
- Scissors
- Small and medium sized dotting tool
- Toothpick
- Essie Blanc, Good as Gold, Pretty Edgy and Russian Roulette
- Essie Good To Go top coat
- China Glaze This is Tree-mendous
Step 1: Polish the nail using Essie Russian Roulette as your base color. Allow polish to dry in between coats.
Step 2: Cut two small pieces of tape. Place each piece on the nail forming a triangle.
Step 3: Cut 3-5 thin strips of tape. Place each piece on the nail in a horizontal position forming smaller triangles.
Step 4: Use Essie Pretty Edgy polish in between the two strips of tape. Allow to dry, then apply China Glaze This is tree-mendous.
Step 5: Once the polish has dried remove strips of tape. You should have an outline of your tree.
Step 6: Using Essie Good as Gold, add a dot at the top of the outlined tree with your medium sized dotting tool. Then take a toothpick and pull the polish outward forming a star.
Step 7: With your small dotting tool, add dots to your tree using Essie Blanc.
Step 8: Allow to dry. Apply Essie Good To Go top coat.
