Welcome to Nailiness!!
If you want to know how to do chevron nails...
...Keep watching!!
You will need at least two different nail polishes,
top coat or clear nail polish,
a plastic cover,
scissors with special zigzag cutting edge,
normal scissors,
and tweezers.
We start graving the plastic cover, like the ones that we use to store paper sheets
and in it we will paint a rectangle with nail polish of the colour that we want the stripes to be
it has to be two fingers wide and long, this way
it will be easier to use.
The nail polish layer has to be very thick, so cover the plastic well.
If you want you can apply two layers, but it may not be necessary.
We let it dry a few hours.
The best thing you can do is let it dry over night.
Once it's dry, you can remove the nail polish easily by scratching one side
with tweezers until it peels off a little, and then just taking off the rest.
You can do it with your nails too, but carefully.
We cut normally the nail polish with our special zigzag cutting edge scissors.
To do the second cut we are going to stick the nail polish strip to the scissors edge,
pressing it against the edge, and making
the stripe protrude a little bit (the width that we want)
and that the peaks are aligned, or the stripe will be crooked.
Now we cut the strip as usual and we reapeat these last two steps
until we have several strips.
We paint our nails with the base colour of our choice,
and if it's necessary, we apply a second layer to cover the nail well.
When they are dry, we put the stripe over the nail
in the desired position
and we mark the edges pressing the stripe
so that it makes a mark that shows where we should make the cut.
With normal scissors we cut the excess stripe where we marked it.
When we have all the stripes ready, we apply clear nail polish,
it will stick the stripes to the nail. We immediately put the stripes over the nail
with our tweezers.
To put the second one, we have to align the peaks
or it will look weird.
To achieve this we have to try to put the peaks of the strip
underneath the peaks of the other one.
Finally, we apply top coat to seal the design.
And our chevron nails are done!!
