What You Will Need:
- Base Coat
- Top Coat
- Pink Nail Polish (We used Sally Hansen’s Smooth & Perfect in Satin)
- White Stripe Rite Polish
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Apply Your Base Coat
Start by applying a base coat to protect your nails and provide a smooth foundation for your polish.
Step 2: Paint Your Nails Pink
Apply two coats of your pink polish. Depending on the shade, you may need a third coat to avoid a sheer look. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next.
Step 3: Create the Bow
Using your White Stripe Rite polish, draw a horizontal white line across the center of your nail.
Step 4: Add Vertical and Diagonal Lines
Next, draw a vertical line on one side of the horizontal line you just created. Then, draw a diagonal line connecting to the end of the vertical line.
Step 5: Complete the Bow
From the tip of the diagonal line, draw another vertical line downward to complete the shape of the bow. Feel free to go over your lines multiple times to ensure they are defined and filled in.
Step 6: Fill in Your Bow
Once you’re satisfied with the shape, fill in the bow and let it dry thoroughly.
Step 7: Seal with Top Coat
Finish your manicure by applying a top coat to add shine and protect your design.
