Geometric square colour-blocking easy nail art

Some random modern-ish nail tip colour-blocking thing going on here! I made this using a white polish plus new polishes from Color Club's Made in New York and Seven Deadly Sins collection. Some of these are now available from Live Love Polish, a new online polish retailer (great for those in Canada and the US but they also ship internationally!). I used striping tape to mark off the 'grid' sections, and filled in some of the squares, then removed the tape. Super easy and great in any colour combo!

 
VIDEO TUTORIAL AT THE END OF THE POST!








Blurry pic of both my hands cause I have no patience trying to focus the camera on self-timer and then go back to the exact same pose after I release the shutter. Bahhhhh why won't anyone be my photographer?! At least doing this mani on both hands was easy!

You can purchase striping tape from almost anywhere, including eBayAmazon, or Born Pretty Store to create the grid (and many more designs! - see this video for five different beginner's nail art ideas using striping tape)

Before I apply the striping tape I always use my favourite quick dry top coat and let dry - that's Glisten & Glow's HK top coat!

Polishes used:
- Color Club 'Night at the met' (steel blue creme with shimmer)
- Color Club 'Concrete jungle' (iridescent blue shimmer)
- Color Club 'Obsessed' (dark teal textured metallic)
- Cult Nails 'Tempest' (my fav white creme)



*Color Club polishes were provided by Color Club for my impartial review.
