Football Inspired Nail Art Tutorial

Hey everyone ! 

So today, I'll show you close up pics of the products I used to achieve this gorgeous look.



Its quick and really easy to do ! 

You don't have to be a professional to achieve this either, I'm not, and while I will admit, I could've made thinner lines, it came out pretty good.

To begin with, paint your nails with a basecoat (to protect them from the dark colors and the glitter, as well as to help the manicure last longer. 

Once that's dry, choose 3 nails and paint those green. Add some green glitter (or any color you want if you have no green), and add a topcoat to seal it in. 

Then on the remaining 2 nails, paint them brown. I used Essie's "Mink Muff", its not as brown as I wanted, but its the only brown I had. 

Using a dotting tool, (or toothpick, striper brush, or paintbrush), paint a vertical line in white on the 2 nails you painted brown. Then, using that same white, paint 3 smaller horizontal stripes along the original vertical line. 

Seal with a top coat and voila ! Pretty football inspired nails. 

This is the original pic that gave me the inspiration. But I wasn't too keen on using the same fingers since I wanted it to look different. 

 

Here's the products I used....
 

And here are the pics close up of each product....
