Nail Art| Geometric

Good Morning!

I had a stroke of sheer luck this morning! I was just about on my way to uni, when my mum calls me as I'm getting ready to drive off, that I should probably stay at home because it was raining too heavily...sheer luck!! So I have a long weekend, but I have to study in any case so it's more time to study. The weather has been really poopy lately (it's been raining for seven days straight now). So to cheer me up from the dreary weather, I decided to do a geometric kinda nail art design on my nails. I'm saying it's kinda geometric because I doubt it's actually geometric but it reminds me of a geometric pattern....confusing much? I hope you enjoy today's post! :)


I used striping tape to create the triangle and silver lines that border the triangle. For the silver borders that don't reach a peak (ring finger and pinky finger) I overlapped the striping tape on top of each other, so when I peeled it off, one part of the connecting line would be missing.The trick to getting clean crisp lines, is waiting very patiently for your layers to dry and when you peel off the striping tape, voila! Lines that are clean and crisp await you!



Till we meet again!
Bye Bye!

  1. OMG this is soooo prettty!!!!! I love the purple and mint combination <3 and the geometric shapessss. I can never use tape to do nail art because I am so impatient and could never wait for my nail polish to dry before finishing them all. LOL. Idk maybe I should try to paint the nails on one day and do the nail art on the day after. Just so that they are really dry before I paste the tape and everything else. hahaha.

    1. Lol Bella I use to be imaptient too with waiting for nailpolish to dry DX I try to paint on thin nail coats so they dry faster! And sometimes I paint my nails on one day and then do the striping the next that works a charm too! :)

    1. Thank you Josee, it does take a bit of time to do, since you have to wait for layers of nailpolish to dry. But I try and cut down on waiting time by painting on thin layers of my basecolor and the colors that I used to do the triangles, that helps a lot! :)
