* Sporty Striped Nails *

Sporty striped nails - manicure

It’s been so warm in LA lately that it has really felt like Summer and has translated into tank tops and open toes and brightly colored nails. Incorporating fun Spring trends: sporty and neon, as I did with my DIY chain necklace last week and adding a silver stripe down the middle, I created a fun and easy manicure in three steps.

*note: if you make the yellow side larger, and add the silver stripe to the side rather than the center, you’ll get a more arty, Mondrian feel than sporty… I like them both, respectively.
