Luxurious Baroque inspired prints are all over the catwalk this season, from Balmain to Dolce and Gabbana, the trend was styled with a rocky edge using rich dark colours. Being on a student budget shouldn’t stop your nails look a million dollars. Add a touch of luxury to your nails by following these easy steps to baroque nails.
We Used
- Gold Nail varnish – Rimmel London PRO – gold infusion
- Black Nail Varnish – No7 Stay perfect Beautifully Black
- Nail Pen – Models Own Black or an old Paint Brush
To Start
- Always start by applying a clear base coat to your nails.
- Use a high shine gold varnish for the base coat of colour, we used Rimmel London pro Gold Infusion, which has a little sparkle to it. Apply two coats if needed and allow drying between each stage.
Adding Swirls
- You can use a nail pen such as Models Own or if you don’t have a nail pen an old paint brush will do, just make sure it’s really thin.
- Dip it in a black Varnish such as Stay Perfect Beautifully Black by No7 and carefully paint on the design.
- Create the rococo swirls by drawing random dots, lines and curls all over the nail.
- Check out the gallery below to copy our pattern.
- Mix it up with different swirls and shapes on each nail.
- Allow to dry.
- Finally apply a clear top coat to make the design last longer.
Quick Tip
Don’t worry if you accidently get varnish on your skin when painting you nails. Just be a good flat mate and do the washing up a few hours later and the excess paint show come off.
