Zebra Stripes -Beginner

Zebra Stripe/Dots

Animal Prints! Although these tend to be more difficult, they are really fun to paint and can end up really wacky if you want. This design above, is my own twist on zebra stripes. Of course you can do the generic version of zebra stripes more or less the same way I have done mine. Here's what you'll need:

*cream or pink manicure polish
*thin brush black polish
*white polish
*top coat polish

 First, put down a coat of your cream/pink polish.

For the stripes, simply draw lines with your black polish. Make sure to make your movements brisk so that the lines are tapered and not even. I usually do about 5 lines. Let dry.

Carefully dab small dots around the edges of the lines with the white polish. Let dry.

Add your top coat.
DONE!

These nails are quite long...i know... i went through a phase, alright? haha

Okay so the answer to how to do these is pretty simple also. Instead of branching your stripes out from a corner of your nail, you need to make them alternating across the entire body of the nail.
I like to do a bit of a squiggle, along with the tapering, to make them look less uniform.

just go wild!

pun intended :P
