Tutorial for graphic triangle nail art

First of all, thank you so much for all your kind comments on my graphic triangle nail art last Sunday! I was so happy to read them! :D
Some of you wanted a tutorial on this manicure - and here it is! :)

You need the following:
A black polish
A white polish
A top coat
A thin brush
A pair of tweezers
Nail striping tape

Start by painting all your nails with white polish. Let it dry completely.


Now do one nail at the time.
Apply the striping tape. To make it easier for you I've done a draft of the pattern. 
Apply the striping tape according to any colour of the lines, but do all lines in the same colour after each other. For instance, all blue, all pink and finally all green.

Then your nail should look something like this:

Apply a black polish over the tape. Apply until it's opaque like this:

Wait for about a minute.
Then remove the striping tape with the pair of tweezers
in reverse order as you applied it. 
In my case it would be green, pink and finally the blue lines beacause 
I added the tape in the order of blue, pink and then green.


Let dry for a bit. Then do the other nails.

If you need to, use the thin brush to correct mistakes.
Wait until completely dry, then add one or two coats of top coat. Done! :)


Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about this manicure!
Will you try it?

  4. Smart att göra ett färgschema såsom du gjort för att det ska bli enklare att tänka ut vilken ordning man ska ta av tejpen. Bra tutorial, får se om jag vågar mig på. Blir ju så rädd att misslyckas med sånt här tejpande.. ;)

    1. Jag tänkte underlätta för er lite ;) Själv satt jag länge och funderade på hur jag skulle få ihop det så det skulle bli jämna trianglar över hela nageln, men till slut kom jag på det ;)
      Var inte rädd för att misslyckas! Det är bara ta bort och börja om! ;) Du vet ju vad man säger, övning... ;) lol!
