Acid Wash Nails! Tutorial

Hey Everyone! I wanted to try Acid Washed nails for the first time. I've seen this look before and liked it but totally forgot about it until now. I like how it came out and its super easy!  As I was doing them I decided to do a step by step tutorial with picutres, and then I decided to record the last step since it's easier to show you then put into words. Here's how my nails came out, for the colors I used: Midnight Blue by Sinful Colors and French White by Wet n Wild.

Here is a little step by step tutorial with a short video to help you with the 3rd step. 

What you will need:
- Blue nail polish
- White nail polish
- Nail Polish Remover (preferably acetone)
- A bunch of Q-Tips
- Top Coat

  
Apply 2 coats of a blue polish then a top coat. Let them fully dry.

Once the blue polish is dry, apply a coat of white polish directly over the blue and again let fully dry!

**Watch the quick video I made below to see exactly how I do this**

Saturate a Q-tip in nail polish remover and start to rub the nail in a downwards motion using light pressure. Then add some top coat and your done!

TIPS & TRICKS:

• You will probably need 2 Q-Tips a nail since your picking up a lot of white polish
• Make sure the Q-Tip is saturated in the nail polish remover. This will help it go by faster.  
• Don't rub too much in one spot because you don't want to pick up too much of the blue polish.
• Use light pressure when using the Q-Tip, or you can end up with a bumpy nail like I did.
• Be patient with this manicure, let the blue polish and white polish dry completely.
• Be careful that your Q-Tip doesn't get bits of cotton on your nails, that's why it's best to use a few Q-Tips each nail. 
• If your nails still feel tacky because of the 3 coats of nail polish, dip them in ice cold water before you go in with the Q-Tip. That should take any stickiness away.
• You don't have to use the standard blue and white colors, you can be creative and use any colors you want!
