Some time back I had shared a teal colored nail paint from China Glaze called
After about 4 days of having that nail paint on my hands I started playing around with it. Each day I would go and touch up something to create nail art. I would go back and change something everyday until on the final day when I ended up with my first attempt at Aztec nail art.
Luckily I was taking pictures everyday so now I have a series of nail art that you can do starting off with a simple nail art that you can transform into something more complex.
So to begin with I have silver french tips with a black line and on the accent finger I stamped two dolphins.

The next day I added some color by drawing another line below the black line using a purple nail color.

Day 3 saw the beginning of my trial of Aztec nail art and this time I covered the accent nail in silver.

And finally on day 4 I attempted the Aztec on my accent nail. Now this final nail art is inspired by a gorgeous piece of work done by Robin Moses. Mine is now where as neat but below I have a step by step tutorial that can help you create the accent nail.

Just follow the steps given in the pictorial below. The trick is to get straight lines and for this I will strongly recommend getting hold of a nail art brush. I did mine using a toothpick and as you can see it looks pretty messy.
