Pictorial on the 'Lava nails'

Good afternoon loves!

Almost a month ago I was inspired by a amazing artist to make these lava nails! At the time I didn't filmed it for a tutorial. Because I did not know if this would look good, or if it was a total nailfail! But when I applied the topcoat, I wished I did film a tutorial for this nail art.

So I decided to make a pictorial instead! 

 

The only nailpolish I used is the yellow 'Lexington Yellow' by NYC and the black, red and orange are all acrylic paint. 

1. Apply a base coat, let dry and apply two coats of yellow nailpolish

2. I always apply a matt topcoat on my nails before I do any nail art with acrylic paint, I find the paint is easier to apply when the nail is matt.

3. With the black acrylic paint and a small brush make some outlines where you want the lava rocks to be, make the rocks with sharp lines instead of smooth, round lines. 

4. Fill in the black areas

5. Apply some orange acrylic paint at random places around the black rocks, don't be too neat

6. Do the same with red acrylic paint, but don't use the red at all the same places you painted with the orange paint

7. Wait until the paint has dried and apply a topcoat, and you're done :)

I you recreate this design, I would love to see it! You can tag me #LookDutchnailss on Instagram or post the picture on my Facebookpage  

Have fun painting and creating
