Elegant Wavy Manicure
I’ve been seeing so many wavy and fun designs in the past year, so I decided to put my own spin on this 2021 trend! This is the perfect neutral and elegant mani for any occasion
I’m not usually a fan of super neutral nail art, but lately, I’ve been gravitating toward its versatile and pretty look. This is one of my favorites because, with these colors, it goes with any outfit!
As usual, below you’ll find a product list for this one featuring all the Olive & June polishes I used (not sponsored, gifted) I could find, as well as a quick step-by-step for you. Enjoy!

Nail art tutorial:
Step 1: After base coat, apply two coats of your base color of choice to all of your nails. Let all your nails dry for 2-5 minutes between coats and then 2-5 minutes before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Once your base color is fully dry, choose a darker color in the same family. Using a detailing nail art brush, start in one corner of your nail and create two to three scalloped/rounded shapes. Fill in the inside and repeat on all your nails. Let dry for 2-5 minutes.
Step 3: Outline the edges of all of your scallop designs with white.
Step 4: Go back to your accent nails and add a few dots of gold or silver glitter to the edges of your design.
Step 5: After letting all of your nails dry for 2-7 minutes, apply top coat to protect your beautiful designs. Let this dry fully and your mani is complete!
I’m looking forward to trying out more neutral designs this year! If you give this mani a try, then definitely share on your Instagram with #tsninspo so I can see and share it with our community. Seeing your beautiful manis is always such a joy!
