Diamond Quilted Nail Art


I am absolutely loving this nail art! Be warmed though it does require time and patience but it is worth it!!! 


The first stage is simple, just paint one coat of your chosen base colour (the colour the stripes will be) and let it dry. Once they are all dry you can start the taping process! (Can be very tricky and fiddley so you may need to use tweezers but make sure all nails are 100% dry) thin tape can be bought online for less than £1 and you get about 10 roles of different colours! Brilliant!!! 

Cut a reasonable length of tape and carefully place the tape into your nail to where you wish to place it but leave some tape hanging off the edge of your nail so you can peel it off later, then keep cutting and putting strips onto your nail to eventually created the diamond pattern. Once all th strips are in place, paint over the srips with your other chosen colour (the one that the diamond will be) and make sure you cover all the strips on the nails and the base colour coat. 

Once this is done, when the nail varnish you just applied it still wet, carefully peel off the strips starting with the strip you applied last and ended with the strip you applied first 


Complete this for all the other nails, once dry apply a top coat and there you have your diamond quilted nail art!!!
