Going to nail-polish shop is not always the most sophisticated experience, unless you like watching people with nothing but dang nail polish spill their bottles over themselves. So, when I first saw this tutorial for dip-dipping nails within the Zoe Report, I almost thought it was a April Fool’s joke. Designer Shnoma Tunc just went from wearing chunky-coverage mani’d to creating these pretty designs on her nails in the most minimalist way, from lying down with a stack of nails over the edge of the table to drop nail-designing on crumpled paper to cutout patterns onto the backs of her hands. It’s a trend I’d love to see, and a trend Zoe Report did a masterful job of writing about.

As a design-minded girl, dip-dying is definitely my jam, and it sounds like it could be something I could definitely try. Keep reading to check out how it’s done in case you’re interested in trying it out, and then be on the lookout for many of the tips in this video.
