Nail art is all the rage now and I have started to really enjoy it so decided I would do some experimenting of my own!  I follow a few different beauty sites on Instagram and they always post fun pictures of new nail art. In this particular case, Tenoverten nail salon in Tribeca inspired this particular look (click here to check out their version)!  I also did a regular mani just to practice which turned out really well!

For this geometric look I wanted to use my Butter London polishes:  “Primrose Hill Picnic” and “Tea with the Queen.”

1. Start by painting a clear coat on the nails to smooth out the nail surface (can be found at any drug store).

2.  Take first color and paint diagonally across nails (which ever direction you want).

3.  Next take second color and paint in the remainder.  Be sure to have some slanted q-tips on hand and some nail polish remover to do some quick clean-up around edges and cuticles.  I also noticed it’s much easier to do one hand completely, let it dry, then do the other.  Doing both back and forth just doesn’t work: I have learned the hard way! Oy!

4.  Let dry a couple minutes then apply a top coat, which will smooth out any uneven paint!

That’s all!  It’s pretty easy and fun to experiment!

I also did a mani with just one color “Primrose Hill Picnic,” which I really loved.  This Butter London color is the perfect summer hue.

Happy Painting!
