Black Widow on your nails!

Sometimes I get inspired by weird things :D I really hate spiders but in a way black widows are beautiful - so I created this nail art. You can use any color combination you like but for this tutorial I stuck to the typical red & black :)

Sometimes I get inspired by weird things :D I really hate spiders but in a way black widows are beautiful - so I created this nail art. You can use any color combination you like but for this tutorial I stuck to the typical red & black :)

Instructions

  1. Small 114382 2f2016 05 26 224242 20160526 213723

    1. Apply a base color of your choice. It should be on the lighter side though, because we will use red & black next.

  2. Small 114382 2f2016 05 26 224256 20160526 213744

    2. Paint a vertical line with a red polish on the middle of your nail. It doesn't have to be perfectly straight, because we will even it out in the next step! :)

    3. Take the black polish and a thin nail art brush and paint 2 lines along the middle stripe. Now these 2 have to be as straight as possible. Maybe you can use some tape if you don't think you can do it freehand.

    4. With the same color as before, paint 3 or 4 stripes on each side at any angle you like. Finish it up with a top coat and you are done!
