new nail art.

 As you may know, my newest obsession is nail art. After the blood trial, i've moved onto a new design. As described by my favorite step-by-step nail guide blog, refinery29, today I worked on the chevrons. 


It's pretty easy. You just need a nude color and black with a skinny brush (available at Walgreens). First, you make a gloopy triangle of the nude color at the base of your nail. It should be wide enough to cover the bottom edge of your nail. When that is dry, use the skinny black to make two crossing lines creating a nude triangle. The nude color should fill the entire spaced marked by the black lines. Then, fill in the top of your nail with the black. When fully dry, finish with your favorite top coat. Lately I've been using sally hansen insta-dri. See final pictures below! 





























I think next time I want to use a darker nude color. The one I used is a little too white/beige. Here are the refinery29 instructions. Post your own nail art pictures below!
