Today it is time for a more graceful nail art.
Here is my step-by-step:
Step 1:
After the basecoat apply a white nail polish.
Step 2:
Divide your nails diagonal in half with a light pink polish; from top right corner to bottom left corner. You can do this freehand or use tape for it. Apply a topcoat to shorten drying time.
Step 3:
Use striping tape to divide the light pink half into a checkered pattern.
Step 4:
Apply a darker pink nail polish on top of the checkered pattern.
Step 5:
Remove the striping tape.
Step 6:
Apply a silver glitter nail polish, leaving the white part in a kind of V-shape.
Then use a triangular rhinestone to accentuate this V-shape. I used my topcoat as glue for the rhinestones.
Swatches, reviews and nail art. All art is made by me on my natural nails. Mostly free hand.

Day 124) Elegant nail art
After the handpaintings, nail art material and bright colors it's time for some more modest and elegant nails I think.
This nail art is perfect for a elegant matter, a wedding or just because it reflects your personality.
And...everybody can do it!
Step-by-step:
1) First I've painted my nails in a pearly white colour
2) Where the tip of your nails starts is called the tipline.
Move the tipline to halfway your nail and paint everything underneath this line with a light pink pearly colour
I used a brush for this but you can also use tipline stencils for it.
3) Now get a silver glitter striper and accent your new 'tipline'
4) As a finishing touch I've added some rhinestones. Teardrop rhinestones. Not only does this make the design more elegant it also looks as if you've made a necklace on your nails. Place them in the middle with the sharp side touching your silver tipline
Done!
Good luck en see you tomorrow!
