China Glazeintroduces the next wave of “nail design made easy” with its new Fan Manicure Kits. Featuring random stripes in a mix of colours, fan manicures are a nail look that many covet but have not tried, mainly because the cost of a good fan brush can be quite high. Now China Glaze makes falling in line with this bold and dramatic nail design trend incredibly easy and affordable.
Launching in January 2015 the China Glaze Fan Manicure Kits include everything needed create the brushed nail art look: four China Glaze best sellers and a fan brush all for $23.50. Each kit also includes easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions with images. Choose from two kits:

Here is how to create this sweeping effect manicure:
Step 1: Paint your nails with the lightest colour and wait for it to dry completely.
Step 2: On a flat surface, drop a generous amount of the polish in separate puddles.
Step 3: Dip the tip of the fan brush into any of the three shades.

Step 4: With fan brush, paint lines across the nail in even strokes.
Step 5: Repeat step 3 and 4 with each shade, cleaning brush with polish remover between colours. For richer colour, allow the polish to dry before brushing again; this will prevent any smudging.
Step 6: If needed, clean up all the excess using a sponge, brush, or cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover.
Step 7: Finish with China Glaze® Fast Forward Top Coat to protect your design.
This look is meant to resemble organized chaos so try brushing the different shades on vertically, horizontally, diagonally, or all three.
