DIY Bright Geometric Nails

I am loving the DIY nail trend. It might take a little practice or trial and error, but it's great to be able to achieve some great looks at home and for a fraction of the salon cost. For this nail look I wanted a bright nail using the geometric/art deco trend.

How to:
  1. Apply two coats of a bright blue polish. I used Avon Nailwear Pro in Aqua Fantasy (it was limited edition 2012 - a bright robins egg blue will work)
  2. Use scotch tape and stretch it across a paper plate or use the tape roll its on.
  3.  Apply a gold color to the scotch tape (non-sticky side). I used a gold polish from Sinful Colors Professional (in Cloud 9 I believe- they need to label their polishes!) It took me three coats to get the finish I wanted.
  4. Use scissors to cut out triangles. You want the largest ones for your thumb and the smallest for your pinkie.
  5. Apply the triangles to your nails (tweezers help). Then apply top coat.
Happy Polishing
