Fashion & Beauty Ethos: DIY Chic Tribal Mani

Everywhere I turn, I find design speckled with tribal undertones. So I decided to do my nails in a tribal inspired mani this past weekend, and it was extremely easy! In keeping with the theme the past few weeks, I decided to use a toothpick for the line details and it was a breeze. 

You Will Need:

Two Shades of Nail Lacquer; O.P.I - "The It Color" [yellow] & O.P.I "Over The Taupe" [taupe color]

Black Nail Polish: I used Rimmel in "Black Satin"

Toothpicks for nail design 

Top Coat: I tried out Seche Vite, so far so good ladies!

Base Coat: I used Essie Protein Base Coat 

Apply a base coat

Paint a little more than half your nail bed with two coats of your main color

Paint the remainder of your nail with two coats of your secondary color 

Draw a line down the middle of your nails with your toothpick dipped in black nail polish [be careful not to drag the toothpick as it may scrape the polish; instead lightly dot it creating a solid line]

Draw several lines near the top portion of your nail bed

 Draw more lines as illustrated in the photo above

Now draw dots down the nail bed using a new toothpick and black nail polish

Repeat the steps above on each nail, then seal with a top coat

Enjoy your new nails!
