Nail Art: Zebra Zone

I’m a nail art addict.

So I’ve come up with a tutorial section for easy-to-do nail arts.

For today, I’ll be teaching you how to do some zebra prints on your boring white nails. Here’s what you will need:

White nail polish

Black nail polish

Nail polish remover

Clear nail polis

Slim nail art brush

Cotton 

Note that your nail art brush is a very slim version of your regular nail polish brush. I got mine from Watsons. It came with the regular polish bottle, I just had to swipe off the polish with cotton and acetone to be able to use the brush for other colors (para-paraan lang, girls!)

So here goes, let me know if they’re confusing. There’s a comment box below.

Step 1: Clean your nails and remove any previous nail polish residue using cotton with acetone.

Step 2: Color your nails with white polish as the base coat.

Step 3: Carefully paint black stripes over the white base using the slim brush.

Tip: To get a good zebra-looking print, start painting a single line from the leftmost side to the middle and do the same thing starting from the rightmost part to the middle (see sketch below). Do this alternately.

Don’t worry about not making straight lines. It looks more “zebra-ish” if the stripes are not flat straight.

Step 4: Apply some clear polish to seal the art. Then let it dry.

Voila! Cute zebra prints on your digits!! Easy, right? I have some more E-A-S-Y designs to teach you, so watch out for my next posts!
