Step 1First thing is to paint your nails with a simple white polish. Definitely doesn't have to be perfect at this point!
-
Step 2Next, use your paintbrush and black acrylic paint to make small, evenly spaced squares.
-
Step 3Next, make small lines at the top of the squares.
-
Step 4Connect the lines to your squares and fill it in like so.
-
Step 5Next step is to paint the "legs" of the houndstooth pattern. Looking at a picture of the pattern helps immensely with this.
-
Step 6Last but not least, with houndstooth, it's important for both colors (black and white) to look the same. If necessary, go back in with white acrylic paint to ensure that the white parts look correct.
