What you'll need: Three colors of your choice Some kind of tape Q-tips and nail polish remover for cleanup

First start off with a completely dry base. Here I am using No Hard Feelings by Sally Hansen. |

I prefer to use electrical tape because it's much more easy to work with. Tape the part of your nail that you want to paint with the second color. Make sure the edges of the tape are pushed down so the color doesn't leak underneath. |

And peel off when it is slightly dry. Push down any polish that rises. If you're like me it will get messy, but as always cleanup is easy. |

After the second color is completely dry, Tape over the nail so you know where you want the third color to go. Each nail is like a canvas; they can all be the same or completely different! |

Again wait until the color is slightly dry, or 'tacky.' And peel off the tape. |

I finished with two layers of top coat to even out the surface. This was really easy to do; but pick a day to do it where you have time. The drying process can take a while! I hope you liked it :3 |
