Oh man, it's been a while since I've done a nail post here!
I had a bit of free time today while my mom was watching the kids, so I decided fix the jacked up manicure I was rocking. I've been wanting to attempt a gingham print for a while now (I'm gaga for gingham), and gingham makes me think of picnics, and picnics make me think of TEDDY BEARS (teddy bear picnic. I'm five. whatever), and the cutest bear I can think of is the ever adorable RILAKKUMA!
So here's a quick tutorial on how to get a gingham print on your nails:
 |
| I started with a classic white base, but I imagine you could do whatever color you wanted. |
 |
| then I did three vertical and three horizontal stripes with china glaze for audrey |
 |
| where ever my light blue stripes overlapped I painted a square of a brighter blue |
 |
| add a clear coat to hide your layer bumps and you've got a CUTE gingham! |
Adorable! I -must- try gingham print soon, I thought it would be a lot more difficult than that, ^-^

Love the gingham nails! What a cute summer look.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI must do this ASAP. Tomorrow, tomorrow!
ReplyDeletePainting the little squares must've taken forever! This came out so adorable though. Have you ever tried the tape method of doing this?
ReplyDeleteIt was actually super easy! I honestly don't have the patience to wait for each coat to dry in order to use tape for straight lines. With two babies running around everything I do has to be quick and easy these days.
