How to Create Tie-Dye Nail Art

Tie-dye nail art is a fun and vibrant design that mimics the look of tie-dye fabric. To create tie-dye nail art, start with a base coat and a light-colored base polish. Once dry, use a small brush or toothpick to apply dots of different nail polish colors onto your nail. Quickly swirl the colors together using a clean toothpick or a nail art brush to create a tie-dye effect. Repeat on each nail and finish with a top coat to protect the design. This playful style can be enhanced with the precision typical of Russian manicures, ensuring smooth and intricate patterns.

  • Base coat and top coat
