Celestial Opal Nail Tutorial
It’s no secret I like my nail art simple, unique with some serious depth. Enter stage right, Celestial Opal, checking allllll the boxes. This look is beautiful as a full set on all ten nails or as an accent on a few. She’s versatile and universally flattering on EVERYBODY.
This is another look that builds it’s depth with layers, starting with a milky base and layering in duo chrome flakes and gold filter foil like a sassy Opal inspired seven-layer dip of awesome.
I originally create this look for my client Missy, late last year and was super excited to add it to my press-on shop and now a step-by-step for you to recreate.
