Instructions:

Step 1 Apply Grey Nail Polish On Thumb and Ring

For your index, middle and pinky nails, Paint ’em with a teal blue nail polish. Remember, you can apply two coats if necessary.

 

Step 3 Draw Metallic Gold Lines

Using a thin brush and a metallic gold nail polish, draw one vertical line and horizontal line on your thumb and ring nails.

 

Step 4 Draw Teal Blue Lines

Using the same thin brush, you outline the gold lines with a teal blue nail polish. As you can see, it brings out the metallic gold color. In case you want to try out other color combinations, you can experiment by pairing up colors to identify which one compliments the other.

Step 5 Draw Burgundy Lines

Add one vertical line and one horizontal line using a burgundy nail polish. Will you agree that the burgundy color is a perfect contrast with teal, grey, and metallic gold.

Step 6 Apply fast drying top coat
