style-play-polish-sally-beauty

It’s been a while since we’ve posted a Style Play Polish nail art tutorial. With spring just around the corner, we’re prepping for warmer weather, shorter hemlines and fun brights and pastels on the nails to accessorize. Here at LBS, we’re all about simple chic you can achieve at home. So I teamed up with Sally Beauty for a fun, quick and easy spring nail art tutorial using colors I found at their new Sally Nail Wall. Most of us who have a nearby Sally Beauty know it’s a great place to grab beauty must-haves on the go. Their new Sally Nail Wall features over 750 shades from your favorite nail brands, including OPI, Essie and the FingerPaints brand (exclusive to Sally Beauty).

While at the store I scooped up two OPI colors called Can’t Afjord Not To (pastel coral color) and You’re Such A Budapest (pastel purple color). I also purchased this pretty hot pink color called Matisse’s Mirage from FingerPaints. These three colors make up the base for this simple tutorial. Here’s how to get this look for spring nails with Sally Beauty:

Step 1: Apply Basecoat*.

Tip: The first step of every tutorial is applying basecoat and it should be the first step of any nail art session. Base coat helps protect your nails and also gives them a smooth surface for proper nail lacquer application.

Step 2: Apply 2 coats of first color to 3 fingers.

Quick, easy and fun nails for spring! The beauty of a design like this is in how customized you can make it. Feel free to switch it up with different colors. Just be sure the colors all compliment each other.
