Nail Polish,
Nail Art Pen,
Clear Nail Polish
Step 1. Paint your nails in your favorite color. No, hot pink is not my favorite color, but it looked better with the design. ;)
Step 2: Once your nails are dry, use a white nail art pen to put an 'X' pattern on your nails. I start with an 'X' on the bottom, and then connect the next one above it. You can buy nail art pens at Target, but they're pretty expensive for just a pen... about $7!... and since I don't want to spend too much on my nails, I found mine on clearance at Tuesday Mornings for $2, which was a much better deal :)
Step 3: Wait about 5 minutes, and then paint over a top clear coat. It will make the design last much longer. A tip for painting, is that you don't want to brush over the clear polish too firmly. It can smear the design, and so I suggest brushing over the clear very lightly.
You now have a fabulous design on your nails! There are tons of other designs you can do with a nail art pen, but this is just one of them. Be creative, and have fun!

So cute! I should try this, since I have the nail art pen!
ReplyDeleteThat looks sooooo cool! :) One of my friends got an art pen and we both did our nails and made flowers on the pink nail polish we used. It was a lot of fun doing that. Now at days I just use regular colors and leave it as that, or I'll buy false nails and wear those, which are always fun.
