Blue Chevron

So whenever I paint my nails I normally plan out the design before hand or have a rough idea what I'm going to do, but not with this one! I just sat down with a bunch of polishes and I ended up with this! I knew I wanted to something blue and in the end I did chevron nails. 


The rings in the above picture are from Primark, I got a pack of 6 rings that were a mixture of midi and normal for £2.50. All of the rings are so cute and it was a total bargin.

To do this very easy design I first painted my nails two thin coats of Essie's - In the Cab-Ana. Then I dipped a Cheeky nail art brush into Essie's - Mezmerised, painted a triangle onto the tips of my nails and then filled them in. I dipped a dotting tool into some random silver glitter polish and placed one dot at the tip of the triangle. Finally, I topped the whole thing off with a coat of Seche Vite.


As you can see from the above pictures I ended up mattifying it by using Essie's - Matte about You, but I don't particularly like this design matte. I feel you can see my mistakes more and I dont feel like it compliments the chevron.
