Tutorial: Needle Drag Nails

Another tutorial today, this was requested as I did needle drag nails earlier in the year for the 52 Week Pick n' Mix nail challenge. I didn't have a needle to hand so for the tutorial I ended up using a opened up paper clip.

 

What did I need?
Two nail polishes (I used ELF Punk Purple, Color Club Pucci-Licious)
Sewing Needle
Top Coat

   

1) Paint base polish and let it dry

2) Paint a opaque coat of each polish over half of the nail

3) While the polish is still wet, using the needle drag it over the nail from side to side (hopefully the clip above will show this better than my description!)

4) Top coat the nail to smooth the design and finish off

1) Paint base polish and let it dry, ELF Punk Purple

3) While the polish is still wet, using the needle drag it over the nail from side to side

This was the original needle drag nails I did:

Base Polishes: High Maintenance - Black 85, Barry M - Matt White
Stamping Polish: MoYou - Special Nail Polish - Black
Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 201

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 318 (BM318)

This stamping plate is from the third Bundle Monster set, from 2012. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is useful, without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms which I have been known to do accidentally in the past with other stamping plates.

This plate has two full nail images and four single images, they all stamped well. Of this plate I like the snowman the most, very cute. That said I haven't actually used this plate just yet for any nails. However once I do you will be able to find them by clicking here.
