Grid/ Hash tag inspired nail tutorial

Hello everyone,
                         This post gives a step by step tutorial on how to create a simple grid/ hash tag inspired design. A nail stripper or nail art brush will be needed to create lines down and across the nails. Feel free to change the colours or use what you already have. Also, be sure to start off with a base coat to protect your natural nail. Lets get on to the tutorial!


Step one: Paint all of your nails a bright fuchsia pink colour.

Step two: Starting with your thumb, paint two vertical lines down the middle of the nail using a purple stripper. Ensure the lines are parallel to each other, leaving very little space between them. Next, create two parallel, horizontal lines midway across the nail also leaving very little space in between.

Step three: Move on to your index finger. Separate the nails into thirds with two vertical stripes. Next, create a horizontal line midway across the nail. Divide each section into half with a horizontal stripe; this should result in four quarters. 

Step four: On the middle finger make two parallel, vertical stripes towards the left of the nail leaving very little space between then. Next, paint on two parallel, horizontal lines towards the top of the nail leaving little space between each stripe.

Step five: On the ring finger paint one vertical stripe down the middle of your nail. Furthermore, make a vertical stripe on each side of the nail very close to the edges. Then paint one horizontal line across the middle of the nail.

Step six: This step simply involves creating a standard hash tag on the nail. Divide your nail into thirds and make two vertical lines to separate each third. Then create two horizontal stripes over the previous lines made. 

Step seven: Clean up around your nails if any got on to the skin and add your preferred top coat to smooth out design and add shine.
