Racing Stripes 1

Hey out there, so this is not my first attempt at racing stripes but I discovered that it is very versatile. My favorite use for this technique is going to have to be for sports. I realize that these colors are Eagles colors but I only noticed that after wards (sorry Steelers). First I started with a base clear coat, Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Clear'd for Takeoff, and I waited for it to dry before I moved onto the next step of adding a base color. After two coats of Sally Hansen Hi-Definition Nail Color, and again waiting until it was dry I drew a thin silver line diagonally across the nail and followed that by surrounding it with black and white stripes, all three stripe colors were by Kiss Brush-On Nail Art Paint. The gems were next and were added using a dab of clear to keep them sticking with I waited for everything to dry. Lastly, I added a clear top coat to give the nail a healthy shine and to keep the gems safely in place so they wouldn't come off with wear. If you have any questions hit me up.
Until next time,
Happy Painting
