Tiffany Box Nails

The classic Tiffany & Co. box. The signature robin's egg blue, tied together with a pristine white bow... Today, you'll learn how to carry to fabulous, staple Tiffany look with you at all times. With Tiffany box nails! This simple design adds some glamour to a plain mani, but does require a steady hand!

What You'll Need



- Base/Top Coat 
- Robin's Egg Blue Nail Polish
- White Striper/Precision Brush Polish
- A small rhinestone


Start off with clean nails and apply your favorite base coat, I used OPI Natural Nail Base Coat.


Next paint your nails a solid, robin's egg blue color. I used Sinful Colors Mint Apple, it's a little dark compared to a Tiffany Box, but you get the gist. If you have a color similar, just use that, that's what I did, but if not there are a bunch of comparisons online you could check out! 


Next, taking your white striper nail polish, that means one with a long, thin brush to make small details, make a straight vertical line on your ring finger. I used L.A. Colors Art Deco Nail Art Polish (you can get this a the dollar store!) Make a horizontal line, and you'll have something that looks like a cross.
If we were to look at this like a graph, in the second and first quadrants, or the two top squares, make angled out "u's" that will connect to your "graph's origin." In the two lower squares, make little angled lines, like the tail ends of ribbon. For a finishing touch, add a small rhinestone to the middle of your bow!


Finish off with your top coat, I used Orly's Top Coat. And you're done! Enjoy your glamourous nails!
