Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
- Use a nail file to shape your nails to the desired length and shape.
- Buff the surface of your nails gently to create a smooth canvas.
- Apply a base coat to protect the nails and allow for better polish adhesion.
2
Apply the base color.
- Paint each nail with navy blue nail polish.
- Ensure even coverage and let the polish dry completely.
- Apply a second coat if needed for full opacity.
3
Create the stripe design.
- Use striping tape to create a chevron pattern on each nail or freehand with a nail art brush.
- Apply white polish along the tape or using the brush in a chevron design.
- Once dry, layer silver polish over the white design for a metallic effect.
- Remove the tape or clean up any mess with a thin brush dipped in polish remover.
4
Finish with a top coat.
- Once all layers are dry, apply a top coat to seal your design and add shine.
- Be careful to apply it evenly to avoid smudging the nail art.
- Let your nails dry completely before using your hands.
Pro Tips
Always allow each layer to dry completely to prevent smudging.
For more precise lines, consider using a nail art brush instead of tape if you have steady hands.
Clean up any uneven edges or mistakes with a clean-up brush dipped in polish remover for a polished look.
