Hobonichi Techo and Twinning Nails Hobonichi Techo and Twinning Nails

As well as it being easy to use, the wide variety
in covers are also part of the charm of the
Hobonichi Techo. We've picked six techos out
of the lineup and created nail arts to match the
color scheme of the cover. When your nails
twin with your techo, it will be sure to lift up
your mood anytime it catches your eyes! With
our new lifestyle of spending more time at
home, it might be the little things that might be
important. All of the nail arts we'll be showing
you today are easy to do by yourself, and is
less likely to go wrong! We hope you try some
of these feeling relaxed.

How to Start off with a stroke down the middle. How to Start off with a stroke down the middle.
Apply base coat to your nails and let it dry. After wiping off any
excess off on the bottle, draw a stroke down the middle of your nails,
from the bed of your nail towards your nail tip, using brown nail

choose and how you place it make it look stylish. The different
textures of the brown, pearly white and gold nail polish with glitter
make for expressive fingertips. It'd be fun to change the placing of the
colors on each hand!

After applying a base coat, paint your index finger, middle finger and
little finger with navy nail polish on your right hand. Do the same on
your thumb, index finger and pinky finger on your left. (As long as it
looks random, choose any finger of your choice.) Paint the rest with a
glittery silver nail polish. It will deepen the look of the nail once it's
done.

green.Imagine a triangle with this one too. It can also be applied
roughly - as long as it doesn't completely overlap with the green (a
little is fine). As with the green nail polish, apply top coat before it
dries out completely so the edges blur out.
Layer on white nail polish. Layer on white nail polish.
Apply a clear looking white nail polish to the entirety of your nails. By
doing so, it will bring the look together and will add a milky touch.

All done! All done!
By simply blurring out the edges with top coat, it instantly looks like
you've used a lot of technique! The contrast between the navy and the
pale gradation is stylish. If you choose to create a gradation using
different colored nail polish, use those with a bright and light color
rather than a dark color. The colors will blend in better and will create
a clean look overall.
