Ladies, there is no need to limit yourselves. We can be just as dapper as the handsome suited gentlemen out there. Once again our favorite childhood boy band beaux never fails to leave an imprint of adolescent memories on our hearts or in this case on our nails.
- A white or cream polish (Essie's Sand Tropez)
- Any metallic polish (preferably blue or green) (Essie's Trophy Wife or Essie's Aruba Blue)
- Black polish or Black Nail Art Pen
- Dotting tool
- Scissors
- Tape
Step 1: After prepping your nails, polish on 2 coats of your preferred white or cream colored polish.
Step 2: Using small pieces of tape, place them at angles from your cuticles creating an upside down triangle.
Step 3: Apply 2 coats of your metallic color and allow the nail polish to dry.
Step 4: Use your black polish/nail art pen to outline the metallic color on your nails.
Step 5: Create 2 black lines parallel to the metallic outlines forming a smaller triangle. You can leave the design as is, but if you're feeling a bit more on the creative side, continue to steps 6-8.
Step 6: Paint a horizontal X on your nail as a guide for your bow-tie.
Step 7: Use your dotting tool to fill in both sides of the X with your metallic color. Also add 2-3 dots going down your nail vertically.
Step 8: To clean up the design, go over the X once more with the black polish and close off the sides. Create black dots on top of the previous metallic dots for buttons.
Before you know it, you'll be creating nail art like the pros. Stay tuned for next week's Style Play Polish, and don't forget to tag us on Instagram @LoveBrownSugar with your Suit & Tie inspired looks!
