Tuxedo Nail Art Tutorial

Hey everyone,
                       Welcome back to my page and another edition of my simple nail art tutorials. I hope all is well in your lives, and even if you're going through a difficult time remember that storms pass but the sun will shine again. Today, I have a sweet yet daring (kinda lol) tuxedo nail art design to share with you all. Personally, I love the professional, classic look a tuxedo/ suit gives and it inspired me to create this design. In addition to the polishes used you will need a thin nail art brush and a dotting tool or toothpick. Also, be sure to start off with a base coat before applying polish to protect your natural nails. Let’s get on to the tutorial!



Step one: Firstly, begin by painting three nails in black and two in white like shown below.

Step two: Next using a black polish, swipe your polish brush diagonally from left to right across the nail. Repeat this step to create another diagonal line however, going from right to left. You should end up with a 'V' shape. 

Step three: In the white area of the design place three dots reasonably spaced directly above the tip of the 'V'. Also, make an 'X' close to the cuticle of the nail.

Step four: Connect the edges of the 'X' shape and fill in the space with black polish like shown below. This will represent the bow tie.

Step five: Across the edges of the 'V' shape create zig-zag lines using a white polish and a thin nail art brush. This will represent the collar and edges of the tuxedo jacket. 

Step six: Clean up around your nails to remove any polish from the skin and add your preferred top coat to smooth out design and add shine.

** On my nails in black I decided to add a few spots and on my ring finger I did a straight tie. However, you can mix and match or do the tuxedo design highlighted on all nails.
