Hello
there lovely readers!
Whenever
I'm stuck for ideas or inspiration with nail art, I find you simply
can't go wrong with rocking a bit of animal print! Be it spotty
leopard or stripy like a tiger/zebra, both are equally easy to do &
the finished look slays.
It
just so happened I found myself in the mood for some stripes, but
rather than just go for a simple two tone striped look, I decided to
twist it up a tad by doing a holo base with slightly angled stripes!
Of
course you can rock a black & white zebra or an orange &
black tiger look but its always fun to play around with different
colours I'm sure you'll agree!
As
mentioned for this mani I wanted some holograhic action so for my
base colour I've applied two coats of Color Club Cherubic from their
amazeballs Halo Hues collection which is a fabulous & unusual
beige toned holo.
Then
I added my black stripes first using the striper brush from my black
WAH nail art pen, which is perfecto for this type of nail art. Rather
than apply the stripes straight across horizontally, draw on the
stripes angled downwards slightly, about three on each side, to give
an edgier effect.
Next
apply your white stripes, this time using a nail art pen in
White,again I used good old WAH. Draw on the stripes in the same way,
placing them directly next to the black, either under or above the
black as shown.
For
a final little optional step I stuck on a triangle gold stud at the
centre bottom under the cuticle giving the mani a touch of punk-ness
which I love!
Finish
with your obligatory topcoat to seal & that is it! An eye
catching yet easy design in seconds.
Hope
you liked dolls, let me know if you give it a try, thanks for
reading!
Lotsa
love to ya!
