1. Brush on a base coat and two coats of Essie Blanc or an opaque white. White helps the colors pop and makes the tie dye look "authentico". A nude or colored base will still give you a cool pattern, it just won’t look like your fave craft project.


2. Working on finger at a time, brush on a thick top coat. You can also use a nail
art bonder or sealer. Warning: Do not use the fast dry kind of top coat because

The tie-dye effect is in full effect

5. For extra Fourth of July "flava", throw on some nail art bullion and stars. You can snag all this sparkly magic by looking for Color Club in the nail aisle at Sally’s Beauty. To apply the extras, coat your nail with a special nail art top coat called bonder or sealer. Then, dab the tip of your orange stick into the brush of your base coat. Then, tap your orange stick onto the nail art bedazzlement to lift it and place it onto the nail. Do it ‘til your satisfied and then seal your look in with a coat of nail art sealer or bonder.
