* Sporty Striped Nails *



Sporty striped nails  - manicure


It's been so warm in LA lately that it has really felt like Summer and has translated into tank tops and open toes and brightly colored nails. Incorporating fun Spring trends: sporty and neon, as I did with my DIY chain necklace last week and adding a silver stripe down the middle, I created a fun and easy manicure in three steps.

*note: if you make the yellow side larger, and add the silver stripe to the side rather than the center, you'll get a more arty, Mondrian feel than sporty... I like them both, respectively.

* Sephora by OPI White Nail polish
* Very old Wet n Wild yellow polish
* L.A.Colors Nail Art Polish - Silver - such a fun set of polish with very long and very thin brushes, meant for nail art and details.
* Chanel Extreme Brilliance top coat


yellow and white and silver sporty manicure

* Apply two coats of white polish on all nails.
* Allow to dry.
* Apply one coat of polish on half of your nail.
* Allow to dry.
* Carefully take your fine brush and paint your center stripe.
* Allow to dry then apply your topcoat

I'm so impressed!!! I can not for the life of me paint a straight line on my own nails. But I showed these photos to Ellie last night and she wants to try it in pink, purple and blue. Guess I know what my Friday night will consist of. :)
