Welcome Back Summers - Chevron And Lines Nail Art Tutorial

Today I'm sharing a nail art which I've done to welcome summers as part of the STNChallenge. This nail art is also part of my Illchallenge where the theme is chevron and lines. Yes here I go again trying to do two things in one go.

Please excuse my super dry cuticles - they aren't dry in person but don't know why they look like this in the pictures :(

I've chosen lovely pink colors because summers are the time when all my lovely pink dresses come out of the closet. The base is Diana of London Nail Paint shade City Glamor (check the link for proper swatches), then I used China Glaze Fifth Avenue for the inner chevron and Lakme Lavender Lush for the outer chevron and ring finger. Flowers are done using Lavender Lush and everything white and green is acrylics.

And to add to the summer feel I've added tiny flowers on two nails. This time I've done a tutorial as well so I hope you all enjoy it.

How To Do Chevron Nail Tips (Tutorial Chevron Nail Tips)
Chevron tips are easy to do. Create a V (or a cross as shown) with one color followed by the second color.

Lines And Flower Nail Art Tutorial
For the lines part I created vertical stripes and then used a dotting tool to create the flower petals and leaves.

I hope you liked this simple to do nail art. You can play with colors like orange and yellow to get brighter nails using the same pattern.

And if you follow on IG I uploaded the below pic there - it looks very different because I am playing around with all the filters available on IG.
