Negative Space Manicure by Miss Pop for Zoya Nails at Marissa Webb
Nail Look: Ying and Yang
Nail tech: Miss Pop
ZOYA Naked Base, Naked Manicure Perfector, Snow White, Naked Manicure Glossy Seal
“Marissa Webb loves contrasting signature ultra-feminine style with bold clean lines, which was perfectly emulated with a natual white negative space manicure.”
– Miss Pop, Lead Manicurist
How To:
Pre the nail by shaping, gently buffing and cleaning up cuticles. Begin by applying a sticker stencil or thin painter’s tape diagonally across the nail. Next, paint ZOYA Naked Manicure Base coat on both sides of the sticker making sure not to seal in the sticker. To prevent nail discoloration or imperfections from showing, a NM Perfector (Lavender Perfector) can then be used in the same way as the Naked Base, to correct, perfect and smooth the nail surface. From the nail tip to the sticker, paint two coats of ZOYA Snow White on all ten fingers. Lift the tape to reveal the diagonal cut. Finish the manicure with a single coat of Naked Manicure Glossy Seal and Fast Dry Drops.
Inglot Polish Creates A Glam Guns & Roses Nail Look at Baja East By Naomi Yasuda
- WHO: Baja East
- THE VIBE: Glam Guns & Roses.
- HOW TO GET THE LOOK: “The concept is very rock’n’roll, with a messy, grungy feel but still fashion forward,” says lead nail artist Naomi Yasuda for INGLOT. “The models have messy hair and heavy, smudgy eye makeup. So for nails I wanted to follow with a really cool grunge look.”
- THE KIT: “I used an oily grey-greenish color (INGLOT O2M Breathable Nail Enamel in #649) as a base for the girls, then did a black ombre (with INGLOT o2M Breathable Nail Enamel #692) – starting at the cuticle with black and the tip is green (INGLOT Nail Enamel#988 and #987). The men’s nails are going to have a clear nail (o2m Breathable Base) with black ombre coming from the cuticle (withINGLOT o2M Breathable Nail Enamel #692). The reason why I did it from the cuticle is because it looks somewhat dirty to go along with the theme but in a fashionable, edgy way.”
