As harpists, our nails are usually pretty short. But you can still try this DIY harp manicure on short nails! So have fun! If you want to speed up the process, you can use a quick-dry spray between coats.
- Paint your base color. I think I used two coats of this orangey color (“Strike A Pose” by Nicole by OPI). Base coats are often recommended as well. 🙂
- Paint a rough harp shape in white nail polish. If you don’t have a striping brush or nail art pen, you could use a toothpick or kabob stick.
- Step 3: Add a base and strings in white nail polish.
- Add brown polish.
- Add a top coat.
If you try this, be sure to show me your nails on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or in the comments.
