Chevron Nails


Hey lovelies,

Just did my nails and thought I would share! I really like them and can't stop looking at them :) It took a really long time to do, but I think its worth it. Hope you guys enjoy!






 How to:
1. Paint your base color, let completely dry.
2. Use 2 pieces of tape to make a V shape, paint black. Let completetely dry.
3. make the v-shape again, but this time leave it a little above the black so that there will be a black line. Paint the exposed portion gold.
4. Use a black nail art polish that has a thin striper brush to draw the last and smallest triangle. Tada- done!

1. Paint your base color, let completely dry. For this, I used zoya- cho and then painted essie- ballet slippers over it for a blush pink look.





2. Use 2 pieces of tape to make a V shape, paint black. Let completetely dry. For this, I used Milani dry fast polish in Black Swift.
You could also use a nail art striper brush / polish to draw this triangle too. I think I may try that next time.



3. make the v-shape again, but this time leave it a little above the black so that there will be a black line. Paint the exposed portion gold. For the "gold" I mixed color club - worth the risque & OPI- curry up don't be late to create a holographic/silvery gold (since the OPI one was kind of sheer and not as foil-looking as I'd like it to look) super pretty!




4. Use a black nail art polish that has a thin striper brush to draw the last and smallest triangle. Also, this brush would be perfect for fixing up mistakes on your design too. Tada- done!
