Geometric Nails

  

 Theses nails may look hard to do but as long as you can paint lines you can do it. I like different patterns on each of my nails. In this nail design I used 2 different techniques to create the geometric nails. One technique is traditional and the other is not usually seen. I looked for ombre geometric nails and could not find the exact ones I was looking for. Here is my take on Geometric Nails.

Nail Polishes Used:

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Hardener

Jordana in White

Julep in Niecy

NYC Long Wearing in 152 Tudor City Teal

Julep in Bea

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in Lacey lilac

Nabi Nail Lacquer in Fruit Green

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in Celeb city

Julep in Kaylen

Julep Freedom Polymer Top coat

Items Used: 
Cosmetic Makeup Sponge Wedge
Medium Nail Art Brush
Black Acrylic Paint
Nail Art Striping Tape (if you do not have striping tape cut thin pieces of tape)

The step I took to create the design was:

1. Paint all of your nails a thin coat of white.

2. Choose the colors for the ombre nails and the block nails.

3. For the Ombre nails paint three lines across a makeup sponge and sponge across the nail in a horizontal pattern for the ombre effect. You may need to do this process 2-3 times to make is opaque. 

4.Once you finish this clean up around your nails with a Q-tip and nail polish remover.

5. Paint simple lines to create a pattern similar to the taped off nails in the picture shown above.

6. For the block nails use the tape to make a geometric pattern as shown on the picture above then use different colors and paint over the white then immediately pull the tape off for a clean look.

7. Once you are done paint over the white spaces with the black acrylic paint and the medium nail art brush. Take your time and if you mess up you can use 99% alcohol and a cotton ball over dry nail polish to wipe off the paint and it will not damage the nail polish.

8. Let everything dry and add a good top coat! 

Your Geometric manicure is complete! I would love you to try this and send it to my email. I hope this helps and remember nail art is an art and is never perfect. With patience you can create millions of designs.
