When October comes around, I'm always playing around with new nail designs. Because its always fun coming up with something unexpected. It's a great time to test my creativity. I work free hand, so for a first trail and error, the white triangles came out okay. I had fun with the color scheme and plan on experimenting more with geometric designs in the future. For those interested, here is my process:
Step 1: Apply base coat
Step 2: Choose a base color, I chose orange.
Step 3: Next take your next color, I picked a reddish brown polish by Elf, and taking your brush start from the cuticle and swipe down in one motion. Make sure the brush bristles fan wide and stay flat. I centering the brown bar and kept it wide at the tip of the nail. This allows the orange base color to frame the nail, almost like a geometric manicure.
Step 4: Where my thumb ends and the nail tip begins, I took the 'Smoky Brown' by Elf polish, and covered only the brown bar.
Step 5: Apply a different polish to the tip of each nail. I like 'Twilight Rays' by Maybelline Color Show. Make sure to keep everything centered.
Step 6: Creating the dot. Dip the brush into your chosen color, I chose Revlon Top Speed #320 'Jaded' mint polish, and let a drop slide of the brush directly onto the nail. Then take a flat end of a chopstick (the disposable kind), and press lightly down so that the circle spreads wider and dries flat instead of raised.
Step 7: Afterwards take a white Art Deco brush or nail pen and free-hand an arrow, starting at the cuticle, with the point just meeting the mint dot. Then take a white polish, I used China Glaze's #023 'White on White' to fill in the triangular arrow, covering the orange and the brown bar.
Step 8: Apply the top coat.
