Mint & Coral Chevrons

Posted on 04:00 by Unknown
Inspired by "Nail It!" Magazine, the new nail polish/nail art magazine for non-professionals! It's wonderfully entertaining to read. All of the latest ads from big brands showing off the new collections, interviews with skilled professionals, tips and tricks, nail art tutorials, and beautifully photographed nails! The magazine only costs $11.95 for the entire year! So subscribe now, it's a steal!

I immediately knew I wanted to recreate this look that was pictured on page 105 of the March premiere issue. The combination of mint and coral is very on trend, along with the chevrons.

I started out with the intentions of copying the entire design, but once I got into it.... I realized it was simply going to take toooooooooo long! So I broke it down and just painted the rest of my nails with a basic hint at the design.

 My thumb was white with a black triangle half moon.

Here is the pinky design, plus a picture by picture tutorial!

1. Paint your nails white and let it dry (I used Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud). Then apply the striping tape as shown. 
2. Fill in the negative spaces with the corresponding polishes: Sinful Colors black striper, Orly Ancient Jade, & China Glaze I Wanna Lei Ya.
3. Use your black striper to freehand the half moon triangle.
4. Remove the tape and top coat!

Here is the index finger design.

1. Paint your nails white and let it dry (I used Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud). Then apply the striping tape as shown. 
2. Apply the mint and coral polishes. Orly Ancient Jade & China Glaze I Wanna Lei Ya.
3. Apply the black striper polish, just freehand the half moon area.
4. Remove the tape and topcoat!
 

So pretty!
