NOTD: Spring Pastel Rainbow Tie-Dye!

We're back at it! A spring-time pastel tie dye is our obsession of the moment - and they may be pastel, but in the sun they look super vibrant! We used mostly China Glaze pastels from the City Flourish collection, including the pictured At Vase Value. If you would like to know more about how to achieve the tye-die look... check out our neon rainbow tie dye post here! Happy Spring!

We're never letting go of our favourite nail art - tie dye. We loved the Essie pastel blue Find Me An Oasis from the Resort collection this year, and as two of the knailart sisters jetted off to LA for March Break - we had to go for a beachy blue tie dye! Check out our the look below, and to see our tie dye technique, check out our previous blog post or go straight to our YouTube tutorial!

Messy Ombre Aztec Nails

Messy Ombre Aztec Nails

Beginning messy ombre only.
Finishing result with aztec.

Why we love them:

We cannot get enough of aztec nail art! We wanted to play around with messy ombre and this design is a way to show off your ombre nails that are shown with an aztec pattern. :)

What you need:

  • Nail Art Brush and Dotter Pen (buy it in a set here)
  • White (we used OPI Alpine Snow, buy it here)
  • Dark Blue (we used Nails Inc. Baker Street, buy it here)
  • Medium Blue (we used ACO True Blue, view it here)
  • Light Green (we used ACO Mint Cream, view it here)
  • Base Coat and Top Coat (we used Essie, buy the top coat here, and base coat here)


What to do:

  1. Start with clean, dry nails. Paint each nail with base coat.
  2. Paint all nails light green. Two coats may be required.
  3. Paint the medium blue, dark blue, and white in stripes across your nail using a normal nail polish brush.
  4. With the nail art brush, create an ombre or messy look by brushing the colours together that are beside each other like the picture below.
  5. With the dotter pen and nail art brush, paint on your white aztec design like the picture below or however you want to! Be creative!
  6. Paint on top coat after ensuring your nails are dry, and allow to dry!
