Nail art - stained glass

As part of my nail art series, i thought i would include one of my favourite designs. It is very colourful and looks very complicated, but it's really simple once you break it down into a few basic steps!

Tools

You will need several bright nail polishes of your choice, including black, and a tooth pick. That's it!

Method

1) Using the toothpick and the black nail polish, begin drawing jagged, uneven squares, diamonds or whatever other shape you want starting from the bottom corner of your nail

2)Once all of these shapes have been drawn, using a different toothpick begin to fill in each individual shape with a bright colour. Make sure you have at least 4 or 5 colours to get that stained glass window effect!

3) If you wish you may seal in your design with a topcoat. Wait for it to be fully dried before resuiming activites.

HOT TIP

Run your semi-dry nails under cold water for a few seconds. It ensures that the design sets properly and won't smudge later on.
