The newest trend in nail art: negative space (or in other words, the space surrounding a design). This negative space nail art with a double French tip design was created to go with the island vibe of Sophie Theallet's spring/summer 2015 collection.
The Technique:
Essie manicurist Julie Kandalec prepped nails with a base coat before applying Essie Nail Polish in Fiji (the lighter shade of the two) in an arc at the tip of the nails. (You can apply the polish in a wider band than it appears; another color will be painted over it.) To clean up any errors, use an angled eyeliner brush to clean along your arc. Next, Kandalec applied two coats of Turquoise and Caicos in an arc at the very tip of the nail, going over the Fiji polish. The look was finished with Essie First Base Base Coat , followed by Essie Good to Go Top Coat to cap the edges.
