Looking for a fun but subtle way to incorporate Alice in Wonderland style into your look? Or perhaps you need some ideas for an Alice in Wonderland costume? Try these Alice-inspired playing card nails.
Materials:
*White nail polish
*Red nail polish
*Black nail polish
*Base coat
*Top coat
*Black nail art pen
*Thin nail art brush
*Plastic lid
*Cleanup pen (optional)
Directions:
*Paint nails using the base coat. Let dry.
*Paint nails white. Let dry.
*Paint nail tips alternating black and red. I used a small amount of polish to paint a line going across the nail to mark out where I wanted to paint and then used more polish to color in the tips. Let dry.
*Using nail art pens or a nail art brush, paint a playing card symbol onto your fingernails and A's onto your thumbnails. The white polish I used had a nail art brush, which made it easy for me to clean up the edges of the diamonds. I highly recommend using a thin brush for touching up mistakes. Let dry.
*Seal with a top coat. I've found that by touching up the edges of my nails with the top coat as small chips start to form, I can keep the polish intact for about a week. With these ones, I also ended up touching up the tips with red as needed. The picture of me as Alice (below) was taken six days after I painted my nails and you can see they still look mostly fine.
