⒞⒪⒧⒪⒭ scheme

Ever run out of ideas for nail art? Here's the solution! Choose about three colors and make five different simple designs! Here's how I did it!

Possible color schemes:
-green, gold, white (my design)

-pink, blue, purple

-orange, purple, silver

-or just choose your favorites!

Okay, so first choose your base color. I used green for this. I recommend making this the medium color out of your three. It'll make the lighter and darker polishes pop.

Allow it to dry fully and then begin on your thumb. I did polka dots. I used a small dotting tool (or a toothpick) and made three white dots in the first and third rows and two dots in the second. Then I took gold and made two dots in the first and third rows and three in the second. Seal with a top coat.

For your index finger, use your darker color and make a thicker vertical line in the center of your nail. Then draw another identical line in the lighter polish next to the other one. Seal with a top coat.

Next on your middle finger, I took my darker polish, gold, and made a triangle on the side of my nail. Then with my light color, white, I drew the outline of a triangle next to the first one. Seal with a top coat.

For the ring finger, I did a cheetah design. Make dots with your light polish and then outline them with "c" shapes with the darker polish. Add some small darker polish dots too for a better looking design. Seal with a top coat.

Finally on your pinkie, we'll be doing a double French tip. Take the darker color and paint a thin line at the top of your nail. Then with the lighter color, paint a thin line along your cuticle. Seal with a top coat.

And your done!

This makes a great everyday look, and the perfect design to do when you have painter's block
