All About The Lines

     Okay! So today for our nails, what we're going to need is four different colours, and tape.
     You're going to want to choose two 'base' colours, and one colour for each base colour that will compliment it. You're going to use the complimentary colours as stripes.

Step 1:
Take a piece of tape and have it start from the center of one of the outer nail corners, and run it to about one third from the adjacent inner nail corner. (do this for the thumb, middle, and pinky fingers)

 Step 2:
Paint over with one of you base colours.

Step 3:
wait about 10 seconds for the polish to thicken up so it doesn't run/spread, and then remove the tape. Let dry.

Step 4:
Paint the other part of the nail the other base colour. (you can use tape to put over the already painted part of the nail. I didn't do this.) Let dry.

Step 5:
Take one of your complimentary colours, and make two diagonal parallel lines. (make sure to have space in the middle and on the outer left side of the two first stripes.)

 Step 6:
Using the other complimentary colour, make a stripe in between the first two lines, and another on the outer left corner.

 Step 7:
Paint your index finger completely with one of the two base colours. Let dry.

Step 8:
Use one of the complementary colours to make two diagonal parallel lines. (sorry, I forgot to take pictures of this step)

Step 9-10:
Repeat step 7-8 but with your other two colours. (sorry, I forgot to take pictures of these two steps)


 Step 11:
Apply top coat. (I don't have a top coat, but this is the final outcome.)


Step 12:
Clean up and enjoy!
