Green or purple nail art: flair

 These are the colors I used for the green or purple flair. These colors are Icing: Gimme More, Sinful Colors: I miss you, Call you later, and HD Nails.  I also used Kiss Nail Art Paint: White and Mary Kay: Base Coat/ Top Coat. (*I was not paid by any companies to do this, this is just a design I like to do in these polishes*)

First I did some prep work with my nails by removing old nail polish, washing my nails thoroughly so that the nail polish won't come off as fast, filing them into the shape I wanted, and then I applying a base coat.

For the Green Flair nails I used 2 coats of HD Nails on all 5 of my left hand fingers. You would do the same for purple or any other colored nails. (I only did one hand for each color so you could see both.

 I took Call you later and a toothpick and made little lines flaring out of the corner of my nail. (This is my thumb btw) To do this I took a dab of the polish on my toothpick and started in the right hand corner of my nail. I moved slowly to the  top left hand side of my nail, I did not go all the way to the end of my nail.  As you will see if you do this design, you will end up with less polish in the top corner of your nail than you did when you started in the bottom corner.  This helps create the narrowing flair shape. 

While my flair lines dried I put a top coat of the Mary Kay base coat/ top coat on. 

Below is the finished product of the flair design this is done on my right hand so it is a little sloppy.  The green would look exactly the same but.. in green. To finish  the thumb design I used my kiss white nail art paint and made a quick sweeping motion from inside the corner of my nail outwards to make white flair. Wait 5-10 minutes for the flair to dry, because it is probably not as thin as a regular coat of polish. When it is dry finish it off with a top coat and let that dry too.

 The only reason I did this tutorial in purple and green is because those are the only 2 colors I have with nearly matching glitter polish.  Of course this design can be done in any color.  I don't have black and so I use the white as the flair and I suggest you use white for a brighter look.

Sorry that I could not post more pictures:(  For whatever reason my cell phone won't let me send more pictures to my computer.
