Easy Triangle Nail Art

Hey everyone, today's post is a tutorial on the nail art I've posted above!

I've been trying out tonnes of different designs lately having been inspired by the nail art sections in magazines like www.company.co.uk along with nail art posts on other blogs like Leanne Woodfull's thunderandthreads.blogspot.ie

This is one of my attempts that turned out better than expected so if you're interested in recreating the look then read on.

You will need:

• A base coat
• Two nail polishes of your choice - this design works best with one pastel polish and one brighter polish. I used Topshops' Nail Polish in the shade 'Milkshake' and Angelicas 'Skylar'.
• A top coat.
• Tape.

Instructions:

• Start off by prepping your nails with a base coat to protect them from any staining or damage (Not gonna lie I usually skip this).
• Once your base coat is dry, use your pastel polish to paint your third and fourth fingers along with your thumb. Then, using your brighter polish, paint your index and baby finger. Do two coats of each for an opaque colour.
• When your nails are completely dry, use two small strips of tape to form a V-shaped gap on your middle fingernail. If you stick down your tape before your nails are dry it will just wreck the polish you've already applied!
• Using your brighter shade of polish, fill in this gap and remove tape. Repeat on your fourth finger.
• Finish off your look with a top coat to prevent chipping and damage to your nail art, and there you have it, triangule print nails!
