You Will Need

  • base coat
  • royal blue nail varnish
  • white striper
  • red striper

Top Tips

  • The base coat will prevent your nails from staining and make the manicure last longer by giving the nail polish something to stick to.
  • Apply two coats of the blue nail polish to make the colour nice and solid.
  • Paint the white stripes on first, let them dry, then paint the thinner red stripes on top of the white.
  • Finish the nails with a top coat to seal the design and make it last longer.
