Know the border nails: nails decorated with border

After the fever of caviar nails and velvet nails, the newest decorating trend is border nails, which means nails with edges. The idea of ​​the technique is to highlight the edge of the nails with a very different color from its base.

There are various combinations of colors, shapes and materials to decorate the edges of nails. We have selected a practical way that uses simple materials and a classic color combination.

To decorate border nails, you will need the basic nail materials. Two different colors of nail polish, one for the base and one for the edges.


For our version of nails with edges we chose Peach Petal from Revlon (average price $ 12) and for decoration we chose All Fired Up, also from Revlon (average price $ 12).

We use the nail stick (average price $ 0.80) to make the balls in the corners of the nails like a frame. You can find nail sticks at any cosmetic store, pharmacy or market. See below the materials used and the color combination to make the framed nails:


The first step is to pass two layers of the chosen nail polish to base on all nails. Wipe off excess and allow it to dry for a few minutes. This will prevent the nail polish used from being damaged by the toothpick.

The second step is to place a drop of the chosen nail polish to decorate the edges of the nails on a sheet of paper. This way you calculate the right amount of product and avoid dirt. We suggest using a stick with the thickest tip to get the effect of the photo.


The decoration is simple, just outline the nails making small balls with the toothpick. Add a drop of nail polish to the sheet of paper to each nail edge to prevent the nail polish from drying out and ruining the decoration already done.
