Polish
First of all prepare your nails for the manicure as you usually do. You will need at least 5 different colors for this design: light cream, pale dark green, brown, light green and black. You will also need top coat.
Light cream is for the base color. Cover all your nails with it and wait until it gets dry. You will most likely have to cover your nails twice. Your base layer must be solid.
Pale dark green is your next color. Take your thin brush or dotting tool and start drawing green areas. Wait for some time after you are done. Give the areas some time to get dry.
Now take brown polish. You also need to draw several spots with it. Wait again after you are done. You have to wait after applying each color in order not to mix them.
Now take light green and draw several areas near existing spots. You may place the colors near each other. But that’s not the only option. You may apply one color over the other to make the manicure look better.
Take black polish and apply it to some of the free areas you haven’t covered yet. At this stage the design may look not very attractive but everything will change when you apply top coat.
Now wait until the polish dries and apply thick layer of top coat. Don’t pressure a lot and you will be ok. The top coat will make the design smooth and attractive. Don’t forget that you can use either shiny or matte top coat!
That’s all. Now you have cool Camouflage manicure. Share this guide with friends if you like it. This will help our website to grow.
