I Heart Stripes

This is my own take on a design that I saw on 'nannasnails' on Instagram.


I used:
- OPI Big Red Apple
- OPI No Room For The Blues
- An OPI white ( I'm not sure what it's called, it came in a miniature set!)
- REVLON Calla Lily
- FANTASIA Diamonds Top Coat
- A nail art brush
- Striping Tape

I did two coats of the red OPI varnish and the OPI white colour, and three coats of Revlon Calla Lily.

Once dry I used striping tape on the white nail to prepare for the blue lines. When certain it was pressed down fully I used the blue OPI varnish to paint on the stripes - peeling off the tape as soon as I had painted them (whilst still wet), and painted two coats of the Diamonds Top Coat onto the middle finger.

After leaving this to dry, I used my nail art brush dipped in the OPI red to paint on my heart over the stripes.. I'm definitely going to need to get practising with these brushes!!
