Zig Zags and Stripe Brights

Here is the first post on the New Stray Nails blog!

I'm gonna show you how to create the nails that are in my title photo (this will probably change in future so forgive me if its not that same). 

I watch a lot of video tutorials on how to create cool nails and one user that I'm subscribed to is Cute Polish, her videos are always helpful, simple and really effect. You can look at the video I used to do this design here.

First paint your nails with a base coat and the colour that you wish to use under your stripes. I went for bright colours and I mixed the ring finger with the colour from the opposite hand.

Then take some cello tape, preferably scotch tape so its not shiny. Paint the colours you want to use for the stripes on this.

I did two coats to make it more opaque.

Then once this has dried, cut thin strips of each colour. 

If you want to do zig zags, you'll need pinking sheers to create the effect.

Then neatly place the strips onto your already colourful nails and taa-daa!

Make sure you put on a top coat to make the polish last.

I hope you like it!
