Nailed It.

Checkerboard Nails.

I love this design, and I almost consider it my signature!

What you need (from left to right):
Contrast color polish, top coat, base color polish, base coat, dotter (or a toothpick)

Base coat!! Always!!

Then put on a base color. It is best to use a lighter color, since you will be painting on top.

Make a square as the first checker in your checkerboard.

Fill in that square and create/fill in more squares diagonal to the original. I first start with making squares, but honestly after the second one I just blob some nail polish and shape it like a square.

When you do your other fingers, try to alternate where the blocks are on the nails.

Top coat it for a scintillating shine!

Wear it well, my dears.

Bisous,
Irene

Nailed It.

U.S.A.

Both American flag and nail art have been showing up everywhere, so I decided to join the two trends! Here's a patriotic look right in season, even if you aren't from the United States. (Sorry for the terrible photo quality!)

What you'll need (As pictured):
*White polish *Nail dotter *Base coat *Red polish *White striper *Blue polish *Top coat

Always always always use a base coat! It protects your nails and makes the polish stay on longer.

Paint your ring finger blue and all other nails red. These will be the foundations of the flag.

Using your nail dotter, create thick stripes along the red fingernails. Space them out so they match with the other fingers.

With your white striper, make multiple stars on your ring finger. I made five little lines, almost like an asterisk.

Put on a top coat for shine and durability.

You're done! Now go show off your patriotism!

Bisous,

Irene
