In recent years, the tie-dye trend has made a comeback.
This unique style, associated with the 60s and 70s, has gained new life, appearing not only on clothing but also in the world of nail care. At Easy Nails, we are big fans of this colorful, joyful pattern and want to share our tips on how to create perfect tie-dye nails. Are you ready for this artistic adventure?
What is the tie-dye style?
Before we get into specific steps, it’s worth understanding what the tie-dye style actually is. This dyeing technique involves twisting, tying, and dyeing fabric, resulting in unique, abstract patterns. When it comes to nails, applying this technique involves using several colors of nail polish, which together create a unique effect. In practice, this means that each nail may look slightly different, but together they form a harmonious whole.
Materials needed for tie-dye nails
Before starting, it’s worth gathering a few essential materials. We will need:
1. Base coat to protect the nail plate.
2. Several colors of nail polish (preferably in bright, contrasting shades).
3. Makeup sponges or special nail sponges.
4. A thin brush or decorating tool.
5. Top coat to set our manicure.
Step by step: How to create tie-dye nails
The first step is applying the base coat. This is an important element that protects our nails from discoloration and makes the manicure last longer. Then choose a base color that will serve as the background for the tie-dye. It can be white, beige, or any light shade that will allow the colorful patterns to stand out.
Once the base dries, it’s time for the most exciting stage – creating the tie-dye pattern. Apply several layers of colorful polishes side by side on a makeup sponge. Then gently dab the pattern onto the nail, creating impressive color transitions. It’s worth experimenting with different combinations to achieve the most satisfying effect.
To add extra character to our manicure, you can use a thin brush to introduce small details. These can be, for example, spiral lines or small dots that emphasize the artistic nature of our nails.
Finally, apply a top coat to secure the pattern and give it a beautiful shine. Remember to give each layer of polish enough time to dry, which will prevent the pattern from smudging.
Why choose the tie-dye style?
The tie-dye style is primarily an expression of individuality. Each manicure in this style is different and allows you to express yourself uniquely. It’s also a great way to introduce a bit of color and joy into our everyday look. Isn’t it the perfect way to break the routine?
