Anchor (Tutorial)

February 28, 2013

A really cute and easy anchor and stripes nail art design.





What you'll need:
  • Base Coat
  • Top Coat
  • White Polish
  • Blue Polish
  • White Paint
  • Striping Tape
  • Clipper/Scissors
  • Dotting Tool
  • Detail Brush
Start by applying a base coat.
Then paint your ring finger blue, and the rest white.


On the ring finger nail:

Create a big white dot near the top of the nail.


Then paint a line coming down from the dot.


Add a curved line across the bottom.


Add a small horizontal line going through the centre of the vertical line.


Paint two small triangles/arrow shapes at each end of the curved line.


Then add a small blue dot inside the bigger white dot.



On the rest of the nails that are painted white:

Place horizontal strips of tape across the nail and press them firmly onto the nail.


Once all tape is applied, paint a coat of the same blue you used for the ring finger across the tape.


Then while the polish is still wet, pull of the tape.


Finish with top coat.
