Box Nails

This nail design is neat, geometric, and so simple! I started by shaping and cleaning up my nails. The winter weather has made my hands so dry with cracked skin around my nails, so I definitely needed to clean my nails up. I clipped, filed, buffed, and shinned my nails before starting the painting. Once they were all cleaned up, I started my design. With any color, paint the entire nail a solid color. I used a darker gray/blue color as my base color. Then, using a lighter color that will pop, like white, draw an L shape outline in the top left corner of the nail. Once the outline is completed, fill in the box with the same color. The advantage of using a darker color around the box, you can make touch ups with that color so the box-lines are straight! To complete your nails, always finish with a glossy top coat and your nails are complete!
