Today’s Manicure Monday is a part of a special series we’re doing with FOAM Magazine! For the next couple of weeks we’re going to be featuring a different O’Neill Girl from our team and a nail trend she’s into!
What we love about this Double Take Manicure is the two toned colors and the way they blend together. Your eyes literally do a double take at first glance until they are able to pick up on both unique layering of the colors. Learn how to do this Double Take manicure yourself by following the steps below and be sure to check out more info on Annette, our Public Relations Coordinator in FOAM Magazines exclusive blog.
What You’ll Need:
-Orly Bonder Basecoat (optional)
-Pure Acetone
-Small Paint Brush
-Raspberry Color Nail Polish
-Deep Teal Color Nail Polish
-Clear Top Coat Nail Polish
How To Do It Yourself:
Step 1: Get all your supplies lined up and ready to go. It might help to un-loosen your nail polish lids and get a small amount of acetone into a little bowl. Start off by applying the Orly Bonder as your basecoat to all your nails (this will prevent nail color from chipping or wearing off). Let dry for a couple minutes.
Step 2: Paint all of your nails with the deep teal nail polish and let dry. We waited about 10 minutes.
Step 3: Apply your raspberry nail polish to your nails leaving a small amount of teal color showing surrounding the raspberry. We found it best to place your raspberry nail polish brush onto the nail a couple centimeters up from the cuticle, and then pull down the center of your until you reach the end of your nail tip, leaving a few centimeters of teal showing around the permitter of the nail. Do so on all of your nails and let dry a couple minutes.
Step 4: Dip your small paint brush into the acetone and place it onto the raspberry color while wiggling your brush back and forth. The acetone will help blend the two colors together. Tip: Be sure to wipe off the excess acetone off of your brush so it isn’t dripping all over and eating away all your hard work. Repeat for all of your nails.
Step 5 & 6: Apply a layer of clear top coat to seal in your Double Take manicure and you’re all done!

What we love about this Feather Light manicure is the unique look you are able to achieve with just a couple simple supplies and steps. Since no two feathers are exactly the same you will always have a new unique outcome. Learn how to do this Feather Light manicure yourself by following the steps below and be sure to check out more info on Cedar, our Director of Marketing in FOAM Magazines exclusive blog.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
-Orly Bonder Basecoat (optional)
-Rustic Orange nail polish
-Bag of feathers (you can buy at craft store)
-Wood nail stick w/flat edge or Tweezers
-Nail clippers or small scissors
-Clear coat nail polish
HOW-TO DO IT YOURSELF:
Step 1: Prep the area. Select a handful of feathers that you think have the most vibrant patterns and keep them in an easy to reach spot. Start off by applying the Orly Bonder as your basecoat to all your nails (this will prevent nail color from chipping or wearing off). Let dry for a couple minutes.
Step 2: You will be working on one nail at a time for this step. Paint your first nail with the Rustic Orange nail polish and quickly and carefully place a single feather on top of the wet polish before it drys. We found that the best technique was to place the top of the feather closest to our cuticle (leaving the stem/base of the feather hanging off of your nail). If the feather needs to be adjusted or pressed down you can use your wood nail stick tool or tweezers to help you.
Step 3: Repeat step 2 for all of the nails you wish to have feathers on.
Step 4: Apply a layer of clear coat to all of your nails that have feathers on them and let dry for about 10 minutes. It is not nessisary to apply the clear coat onto the part of the feather that exceeds your actual nail.
Step 5: After your nails have fully dried you can use a pair of nail clippers or small scissors to cut the excess amount of feather off your nails. And that’s it your done!
