Summer tribal print

Bright Nail polish is a summer
must for me! It naturally                                                      
brings out my tan.

Tools:
Black and white nail polish
3 colored polishes (I chose yellow, blue and pink)
a fine paint brush (or toothpick)
dotting tool (or toothpick)

This is a medium-hard design it does take awhile to complete
although the design is simply made you will have to work on a small scale



`Always start by painting your nails white
this will not only create a smooth base
but also makes bright colors pop!

`Once the white dries apply yellow over each entire nail


`After the yellow dries take black nail polish and on your         
 thumb, middle, and pinky fingers paint the tops.
(You will basically be giving yourself a French manicure)
On your ring and index finger create a bold stripe in the middle of the nail from top to bottom


Next using the FINE paint brush you will add a thin strip of white separating the black polish from the yellow polish. (This white line is where you will place the dots after the paint is dry.)

*Note that on ring and index finger you will have two white lines. One on each side of the black stripe.


For the tribal print inside of the black polish use a fine paint brush. Start by making a zigzag pattern through the entire length of the black polish.

Next draw a circle around a filled in circle inside a V shape that the zigzag pattern has made. Continue doing this on the top or bottom of all zigzag's.
On the other side line with small dots.


This obviously isn't my nail, but I think it's easier for you to see the pattern I used when drawn on paper. Also some of my nails got the circles others got dots on both sides of the zigzag.




BEAUTIFUL!
