DIY: Chevron nails (amateur hour)

DIY: Chevron Nails
I love painting my nails and trying different colors
but I'm usually pretty boring when it comes to 
patterns or anything different than just applying coats

So since I am on spring break and have the time
I thought why not "be bold".
(( you'll probably laugh at the colors I picked, not bold by any means ))

And recently, the chevron pattern has caught my eye.
It reminds me of the 70's, which is in for Spring.


So grab some colors and give it a try!

Here is what you will need:
- 2 colors (one light, one dark)
- a clear top coat
- nail polish remover and q-tips for clean up
- a small detail paint brush
- clean nails ♥












I'm not going to lie, you need to have a stead hand,
& patients
but when you're done, you can't help but be a little proud of yourself : ]

I hope you enjoyed my 1st DIY.

Happy Tuesday
xoxo
