I used Essie Splash Of Grenadine on all the nails. I created the chevron strips by using tape and a pair of chevron craft scissors. I applied two of the chevron strips on the ring and middle nail. I painted Sally Hansen Celeb City on top of it and before the polish dried, I quickly peeled off the tape. For the rest of the nails, I dotted on two dots with a dotting tool using the same silver polish. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.
Its been ages since I've done a chevron manicure so these don't look all that great. Hopefully with more practice, my next one will turn out better. What do you think?

DeleteFirst of all I like the essie polish a lot, it is a very elegant one and together with the silver chevron it looks stylish and cool. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I only own a few Essie polishes and there really good quality.
DeleteThat essie polish is PRETTY! Very nice design!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteVery nice - you did such neat zig zags. What tape do you use? Just Scotch tape - or do you have a secret tape weapon?
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire. I just used regular old scotch tape. It worked okay but not the best.
DeleteThese are beautiful together! And your chevrons are so perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI think I've ever done chevron nails :D now I think I have to try it after seeing this beautiful nail art ^^ I really like the color combination as well ^^
ReplyDeleteI would love to see you try a chevron manicure too. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI have to say I used to do chevron manicures all the time too and now I rarely do. I love the purple and silver combo. I still think you did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I haven't done much chevrons myself but I really like the look of them.
