Fun Flip Side Mani Tutorial

Disclosure AffiliateFlip Side Mani Tutorial

Want to add a pop of color to a basic mani? It’s fun and easy to do with this Flip Side Mani Tutorial. It adds a splash of “secret” color that gives a glimpse with a flick of your wrist or a flip of your hand.

 Our friends at Julep have shared a new Flip Side Manicure nail art tutorial that can be used with any polish combination. Try pairing a bold with a neutral (in the example, Julep uses on Florence top and Jenna on the flip). It’s super simple to paint a Flip Side mani on your own – here’s how in three easy steps:

1. File and scrub nails and don’t forget underneath! Then, paint the top of your nails just like you normally would – for best results, we recommend two coats.

3. Ta-dah! Beautiful Flip Side nails in less than 10 minutes!

Disclosure AffiliateJulep Jelly Polish

 

Have you tried the new Julep Jelly Polish? If not, you will want to because they are SO much fun! Julep’s Jelly gets its name because when it dries it is translucent and jelly-like (unlike other finishes you may be familiar with like creme, matte or glitter). One coat of Jelly polish is usually pretty sheer, so you can build and build until you get the candy-like mani you’re craving. Here a few ways to use your Jelly Polish gift to bump up the glam factor of your current mani:

 

  • Add a Jelly tip on matte polish for a fierce French mani
  • Vamp up any black
  • Pair a jelly with a similar color for extra pow-wow-WOW
  • Pop some Jelly on white
  • Use as a top coat on nail art
  • Add some texture in your nail art—jelly stripes & dots are the best!
