Last week, I was feeling super ambitious with my weekly manicure, once again I was inspired by some nails that I saw on Pinterest. There wasn’t a link to the original post on Pinterest, so I had to make it up as I went along. So I decided that I’d try to my own tutorial for my new favorite mani.
They aren’t perfect, but I really love they way they turned out.
My arsenal for this manicure.
Step 1: Gold base coat. I didn’t have a good gold shimmer so I had to make due with a couple other colors I had. Wait a good 10 minutes for the first couple coats to dry before you put on the v-shaped sticker.
Step 2: I used the french manicure tracers to make the chevron. I used the straight line manicure guide and cut it in half, then I overlapped the two ends and created the v-shape.
Step 3: Place the guide on your nail.
Step 4: Paint above and below the lines whatever colors you’ve chosen.
Step 5: Slowly peel off the chevron, and pray that it works! For the demo, I didn’t wait long enough and it ended up looking sad and sloppy. But I’ll show you anyway…
Step 6: Wait. I’m for real, wait at least a half hour before you put on your topcoat. I had problems with the black streaking through the white when I put on the Seche.
I hope that this inspires some of you to get creative with your manicures. It really wasn’t that hard to do and once I figured out what worked and what didn’t it was pretty simple. I would definitely recommend trying out some other colors or maybe just doing the chevron as an accent nail.
