Dry brush is really easy effect that looks like abstract art and is super fast.
I kept changing my mind on what to do with these buttons, but decided to go with an artsy look over something cutesy. I received these button charms from Born Pretty Store in exchange for an honest review. The buttons come in six different colors - white, pink, light blue, yellow, green, and teal. I chose the pink. :) Each button is about 6mm in diameter and you get two in the set. They may be a little large on short nails, but I'm not opposed to big charm, so it works for me. The buttons have a flat back, so the edges can get caught on things if you aren't careful. Just use really strong glue, or surround the button with other rhinestones or studs.

Polish Used:
- Wet n Wild - French White Creme
- Wet n Wild - Ebony Hates Chris
- Wet n Wild Fergie - Miami Spirit
- Revlon - Bubbly
- Base and top coats
- Black nail tape
- Pink button charms
- Krazy Glue
The buttons I used are specifically for nails, but you can probably use any small buttons. To create this look:
- Apply a white base color.
- Use the dry brush technique to add color to the nails. Start with black, then add teal, and pink.
- Apply a stripe of black nail tape across the tips of each nail.
- Glue a pink button on the ring finger.
This look is so cool! I love your color combo and the fun pattern you created with the dry brushing.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Dry brushing is so easy, and I definitely do not use that technique enough.
