Tribal Nails

  




















          I never thought I would be that crazy to actually do this... I see it on the internet all the time and would think "ain't nobody got time for that!" Apparently, I do. The tribal nail design probably took me over 30 minutes to complete! Let me tell you how its done.

1. Take a sheer white nail polish and coat all your nails once.

2. As you can see (before I started used the skinny black nail polish) there are stripes of orange and teal. You don't have to use these colors. Just don't use dainty colors such as pink. Tribal nails are tough!

    This is when we start using the teal, orange and white to make the stripes. Yes, white again. Take the white nail polish and draw a  line horizontally over the white "base coat". You should alternate coats between white... and white. Hmm. This is confusing. I started with one white base coat. To eliminate too many coats on the nails, I painted on the orange, teal and white in horizontal stripes separately. Get it?

3. Next, using your skinny black nail polish, draw a thin line where each of the stripes meet. The picture to the right is the part you should be up to by now. You can keep your nails like this if you get tired (they look pretty nice!), but if you aren't tired move on to the tricky part.

4. Then, let your creative juices flow! Tribal designs are usually zig-zags and dots. You can search up tribal nail designs on Google and find your inspiration. If you're too lazy you are "allowed" to copy mine.

Have fun :D
