Another Design For Short Nails - Border Nails

This weeks design came from two necessities. One was that my nails are still very short. However there was a more serious factor I needed to consider. I bought two new nail polishes and I couldn't decide which one I wanted to use so I used both. However they aren't colours I would usually put together so I though a bordered nail design could work.

Essence Miss Universe (dark blue) and Sinful Colors Dancing Nails (Rosy Pink)

How to do this mani:

1. After base coat, paint the entire nail your border colour. It will look best if this is a darker colour. 
2. With your second colour, carefully paint over the base colour making sure to leave a border visible on the sides and the base of the nail. You don't have to bother yet with leaving a border at the tip of the nail. Add another coat or two so that the base colour is no longer visible. 
3. Take a striper brush and using your original base colour, create a border along the tip of the nail to finish the look. If you made any mistakes with your second colour you can also fix them up with the striper brush. 
4. Top Coat and you're done :)
