How To: Get The Tri-Colour Manicure

Feeling patriotic? We’ve got the perfect Republic Day nail-spiration for you.

Tricolour Plaid
Step 1:

Paint on a base colour – we went with orange.

Step 2:

Using a fine brush and green nail colour, paint a large checked pattern, making sure you have enough gap between the lines.

Step 3:

Using white nail enamel, paint between the green lines to create another interwoven checked pattern. Let it dry and top with a clear varnish.

Ethnic Ikat
Step 1:

Start by painting the nail in a base colour of your choice. We picked orange.

Step 2:

Draw two green chevron stripes on the base. Working fast (before the colour dries), use a toothpick to feather the stripe outwards into the ikat weave pattern.

Step 3:

Add stripes in white below the green and repeat the feathering process. Allow the colour to dry and finish with a glossy top coat.
