How to make spanish nails

There are two ways to make Spanish nails at home and get the effect on the perfect straight diagonal: use brushes to decorate nails or rely on a sticky tape to create the design. For professionals or those who have patience and skill, it is possible to make the diagonal stroke using only the brush that already comes in the nail polish, but you must have a lot of patience and firmness in the hands.

If you choose the Spanish nail model with classic white, do the same as the francesinha. Trace diagonally, wait for a few minutes to dry and then apply the light enamel on top. But if you prefer a bolder, more colorful model, choose two different colors and first change the color that will serve as the basis. Allow it to dry for a while and, with the brush, draw the diagonal stroke.


Could not do with the brush? Do not despair, as the tape leaves the diagonal line straight. After painting the nail with the nail polish of the chosen color as a base, wait for it to dry for a while and then glue a small piece of masking tape to the nail so that it is split in two diagonally and paint half of the top nail or below with the color you want.

After applying this technique to all nails, wait a while and gently peel off each adhesive tape to avoid smudging and finish by applying a colorless base on top.
