Every once in a while I find a video that I say deserves genius status for the creator. If you love the artsy and sophisticated look of a multi-colored chevron design for your nails but don’t have a striper, don’t want to take the time to make a striper or simply want an easier way to create the dazzling look of chevron without testing your artistic ability, this video is for you.
While I like to create my own nail designs occasionally, sometimes I want a simpler design that won’t take forever. When you use this technique, it won’t take long before you’ll have a look that can be elegant enough for a night on the town or simple enough for every day.
The use of pinking scissors or zig-zag scissors as she calls them in the video is a stroke of genius. You’ll have to watch the video to see how they’re used, but believe me, you’ll smack your forehead and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” once you see it. The transformation from a plain white base to a stylish chevron design doesn’t take long when you use this technique and there’s no worrying about smudging or smearing the lines either. Watch it, try it, share it. Everyone will love it.
