Negative space manicure

I’ve LOVED the negative space nails (nail art where areas, often geometric, are left bare) that we’ve seen everywhere lately, but I haven’t really gotten around to trying it myself.

First of all – I suck at nail art. A few times I’ve managed to do something cool (for example these blood nails, frickin love them) but that’s just pure luck to be honest. Second of all – My nails are a bit stained from polishing all the time so the design has to be around the cuticle where the nail is less shitty. But hell, let’s just do this! What’s the safest way of doing it I thought?

I cut tape triangles and stuck them to the base of the nail, threw a coat of opaque black Cirque Memento Mori on top, peeled the tape off, top coat, boom done. And it worked so well! I can definitely imagine doing this in other colours in the future. White will be awesome.

Don’t they look quite classic? Like a half moon manicure but.. gothic and spikey.
