Braid your nails!


I was inspired by one of cutepolish's nail art tutorials and tried to re-create one of them. It looks difficult but trust me, it's super easy.






For this look you will be needing three colours of your choice. 
I used a mint colour by KIKO in 389 Mint Milk,
a hot pink by KIKO aswell in 361 Rasberry Pink,
 a grey, silver colour by p2 in 060 Strict,
and a base and top coat.





1. You want to start off by painting all your nails with that mint polish as the base colour. 





2. After that you want to take the pink polish and stroke it diagonally across half the nail.




3. Now take the silver polish and do the same as the pink one except dragging the brush from the opposite corner.





4. Take the mint colour again and drag the brush parallel to the pink line we made earlier so that it crosses over the silver line.





5. Taking the pink polish once again you want to do the same only from the opposite side. Make it cross the line we made with the mint colour. You can take the pink that is peeking out from the picture 4 as a guide.




6. With the silver drag it diagonally across the pink parallel to the mint under it.



  
7. Lastly, using the mint polish again, simply paint the edge of the nail making sure it's parallel to the pink line beneath.



And you're done!
