This look is inspired by a design by @jini_unistella, but I changed it up a little using different colors and different studs. This past weekend I went to my friend's bachelorette party, which had a fireman theme since the bride-to-be is marrying a fireman. We all wore black with red accents, so I did red nails of course. Yesterday's post is what my other hand looked like.
The geometric shapes with the black and gold details reminded me of a fire engine, so I went with it.
- Wet n Wild - Red Red
- Wet n Wild - Black Crème
- Bundle Monster Stamping Lacquer - Liquid Gold
- Base and top coats
- Black nail striping tape
- Nail art brush
- Various gold studs and caviar beads
- Gold metal chain
- Nail glue
If red is too bright for you, you can use any color scheme. Geometric patterns look great in all colors. To create this look:
- Apply a red base color.
- Thumb:
- Use striping tape to section off the base of the nail, then paint in with black polish, and remove tape.
- Add a large gold stud on the red/black border, and a smaller stud on the red side.
- Index:
- Use striping tape to section off a chevron that points towards the tip, and paint with gold using a nail art brush. Remove tape.
- Use the black striping tape to create a reverse chevron on top of the gold one.
- Add a gold triangle stud that points towards the black chevron's point, and add a gold caviar bead opposite the stud's point.
- Middle:
- Use black striping tape to create a diamond in the center of the nail.
- Add two vertical gold studs in the center, and four caviar beads at the points of the diamond.
- Glue some gold chain to the side of the nail (see picture of finished mani). I added the gold chain since I made the diamond off center, but it really added to the look and I highly suggest it.
- Ring:
- Use striping tape to section off a vertical portion on the side of the nail and paint it black, removing the tape when finished.
- Once dry, use striping tape to section off a triangle in the black area, paint it in gold, and remove the tape when finished.
- Add a large and small gold stud horizontally across the nail.
- Pinky:
- Create a gold chevron in the same manner as on the index finger.
- Add a horizontal stripe of black tape.
- Add a gold stud to the point of the gold chevron.
very nice mani!
