~ Winter Nails Of The Day! ~
(Chevron Inspired!)Well.... It sort of worked!)I love sporting adventurous looking nails.I also love interesting textures and patterns and all of the amazing amd creative art that can be created on such a small canvas.Today I was inspired by the cold, rainy, winter day and since it has beena while since I last posted a NOTD post, I thought,why not cease this rare, creative moment!I am definitely and obviously no expert when it comes to nail art!This is my first try at the popular Chevron pattern that is so in style right now!Not only on nail art. I have also noticed it predominantly dominaing home decorand I am totally falling in love with it! Omg, my style is modernising!
TOOLS!
STEP #1Remove any old nail polish with soft cotton balls and nail polish remover.Prep your nails and paint with the shade of your choice.
STEP #2Once dry, cut thin strips of matte sticky tape. (Matte seems to be less sticky and less likelythe peel off your nail colour)Arrange them in a zig zag pattern across each nail.
STEP #3Apply a clear top coat to your nails.Start one nail at a time as the clear polish will dry quicklyand you will need it wet for the loose glitter to stick.
STEP #4Place your finger face nail side down into your glitter pot.This is a less messy method than sprinkling the glitter and havingit go everywhere. Your nail will come out looking completely coveredin glitter. Don't panic! :)
STEP #5Repeat step #4 with the rest of your nailsand let dry for a minute or two.
STEP #6Once dry you can use either some cotton tips or a fluffy brush todust away any excess glitter from around your nails.Then carefully begin to peel off all of the mattetape from each nail.
STEP #7Secure any fall out of glitter and to prolongyour efforts, finish with a clear top coat.
Wala! All done! :)
Mine is far from perfect, so don't stress if it doesn't turnout super neat. You're the only one who'll see it up close enough to see all the tiny little flaws. It looks much better from a distance anyway!
