- a toothpick outlinenails01

Start with a few coats of your base color. Let your nails dry completely.

Then simply take your nail art pen and outline your entire nail bed. It might be hard to get close to the cuticle without making a mess, but if you do smudge the black, simply use a cotton swab and nail polish remover to clean off the excess!outlinenails03

For the accent nail, we did a simple studding technique with microbeads. You simply take your toothpick and dip the tip into your clear nail polish. Then touch the tip of the toothpick to a single microbead to pick it up. and then touch it to a wet nail to stick it in place. For a more detailed instructional on this techniqueoutlinenails04

Top coat and you’re done!
