Description

Learn how to create these denim inspired nails. The GAP logo is optional.

Instructions

  1. Small 105216 2f2014 10 30 222847 dsc06163

    Apply a blue base color. Soho Skinny by Ulta is from the "Denim" set, so it is the prefect color for the denim nails.

  2. Small 105216 2f2014 10 30 223344 dsc06165

    Wet a makeup sponge, then use it to dab on a lighter blue. Blue Suede Shoes by Sinful Colors is a good one. The first couple of dabs will be polish heavy, so dab the sponge on a piece of scrap paper first until the color lightens, then dab on each nail.

  3. Small 105216 2f2014 10 30 223416 dsc06166

    Use a fine detailing nail art brush and gold polish to paint the stitching lines. Create various patterns for pockets, side stitching, etc.

  4. Small 105216 2f2014 10 30 223440 dsc06170

    Add gold studs to represent the rivets, and seal them on with top coat.

  5. Small 105216 2f2014 10 30 223507 dsc06176

    (optional) Paint the Gap logo on the thumb with Liquid Gold.

    Since jeans are not shiny (unless they are waxed), cover the design with a matte top coat.
