Another bit of nail art.. this one is monochrome checks on a nude base. This design is fresh looking and simple, it can be worn with so many different looks due to the neutral tones. It's perfect if you want your nails to look great and stylish but have to keep it simple for work etc.
I used tools and polishes that came in my WAH Nail Kit. It's a great kit and even comes with design tutorial print outs inside. It was one that was sold in boots over the Christmas period.
Firstly I prepped all my nails by filing and buffing them, cleaning up the cuticles and then wiping off any dust, oils or left over polish with nail polish remover.
I then applied a coat of the Barry M base coat to all my nails. Once dried I moved on to applying two coats of WAH's I'm Real nail polish, leaving 5 minutes in between each coat to dry. I left this all to dry completely for about 30 minutes then moved onto the design.
I took the white nail art pen and painted vertical lines using the striper brush. I did this on every other nail and did the rest with black. Once that was dried I painted the lines horizontally on matching nails.
I waited for this to be fully dried, cleaned it up using a brush and remover then applied a Ciate topcoat to seal in my design and make my nails nice and glossy. This would also look great with note pink lines against the nude nail finished with a matte topcoat.
I love this design and it's a nice fresh, clean look to start the new year.
Happy new year!! (Bit late, I know)
XOXO
