Zigzag nail art

Zigzag Nails


For me, nail art is a way of expressing myself. The good thing about it is that it doesn't just have to be for the professionals, anyone can create beautiful nail art designs as long as you just put your mind to it. If you have a few items (often just a nail polish and a dotting tool) the world of nail art is your oyster! Over the past few years I have become more and more interested in nail art, playing around with colours, designs and tools. I thought it was about time that i shared a few of my creations you - starting with my zigzag nails.

To get this look i used:
- P2 colour victim nail polish in shade 620 Artful
- Rimmel London 60 seconds in shade 800 Black out
- Thin nail art brush
- Piece of scrap paper


Step 1



P2 colour victim nail polish - green

First apply a base coat to protect your nail. When that is dry add two coats of your favourite nail polish, I used P2 colour victim which was a lovely shade of green. 


Step 2


Zigzag line

Put a blob of dark nail polish onto a piece of paper (I used Rimmel London 60 seconds black out). Dip either a thin nail art brush or a cocktail stick into the dark polish and draw a zigzag line in the middle of your nail.



Step 3


Working your way towards the edges of your nails, continue to draw zigzag lines until the nail is covered. Then to finish the look, add a coat of your favourite top coat to protect your artwork!
