NAIL ART | Brush Strokes

Taking a cue from Chanel’s Spring ’14 art themed collection, I set out to mimic the runway with a paintbrush inspired nail art design. One of my favorite things to do is peruse paper stores, looking for new prints and patterns. I instantly fell in love with this print, and wanted to emulate on my nails in an on-trend way for the Spring. The best part of this nail art is that straight lines are not encouraged! The pointed Q-tips I used were the hero of this DIY creating the prefect brush stroke (and minimal brush clean up!) Steps and supplies after the break…

Prep Your Nails:
Before painting the base coat and color, start by prepping your nails. Trim nail short with your Nail Clippers. Push back and trim cuticles. Then file your nails to a rounded shape.

What you need:
Sally Hansen Triple Shine Top Coat
Triple Shine Nail Polish in Pixie Slicks, Flame On, Lemon Shark, and Play Koi
Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Rock Chic
Pointed Q-Tips
Sally Hansen Nail Board

All supplies can be found at Target.

What to do:
Start with a base coat and then paint your nails white.
Next, dip your first Q-Tip in the yellow, and brush on small stokes in group of 3-4.
Repeat with other colors creating a painted pattern.
Brush on Top Coat and let dry. Done!
