Tutorial: Kintsugi Nails
Here’s how I did this design– it’s actually pretty simple. You’ll need a couple of shades of gray polish, black polish or acrylic paint, metallic polish or paint, a makeup sponge, and a small brush.
1. Start by painting your nails a light gray or off-white (this is OPI Skull & Glossbones).
2. Tear off a piece of a wedge-shaped makeup sponge, and brush some darker gray polish on the rough edge (here, OPI Cement the Deal).
3. Roughly and randomly dab the darker gray over your base. Don’t cover the whole nail– let some of the lighter color show through.
4. Repeat this polish with a darker gray or black polish, over a smaller area of the nail. I used a black polish (OPI Black Onyx) , but I dabbed it lightly on a paper towel first, so the black wasn’t too pigmented. If it doesn’t look weathered enough for you, you can dab more of the base color, the darker gray, or another similar shade to add more texture.
5. Using a fine brush and black polish or acrylic, paint on some ‘cracks.’ Don’t make these lines as thin as possible, and if they’re a bit wobbly that just adds to the aesthetic.
6. With a metallic polish (here, Sally Hansen Liquid Gold) and your brush, paint a very thin line of gold down the center of the black lines. Finish with topcoat and you’re done.
