Step-by-step: The triangle tips

The catwalks have confirmed it: geometric, monochrome nails are the look of the season. All you need is a steady hand and you’re ready to create this statement-making look.

 

 

1

BASE COAT

Before applying colour, apply a clear base coat. This acts as a foundation for your nails and will allow for a smoother application.

BASE COLOUR

This look will work best with contrasting colours – that’s why we’ve chosen black and white. Apply a base coat of bright white, leave to dry, and then apply another.

CONTRAST

Now, use the contrasting black polish to create your triangles. Start at the middle of your nail and paint a diagonal line upwards to the outer corner of your nail’s tip. Do the same to the other outer corner. Now fill in the triangle. Make sure you lean your wrist on a table to keep your hand steady.

SEAL

Once you’ve finished your nail art, and your nails are dry, apply a top coat to seal the look and add extra shine.
