  • Base coat
  • Nail polish in two contrasting colors
  • Striping tape or thin nail brush

  1. Apply a base coat to protect your nails.
  2. Paint your nails with the base color (e.g., nude or white) and let it dry completely.
  3. Apply striping tape in a chevron pattern, ensuring crisp angles. Alternatively, use a thin brush to freehand the design.
  4. Carefully paint over the exposed areas with your second color (e.g., black).
  5. Remove the striping tape immediately while the polish is still wet. If freehanding, clean up any mistakes.
  6. Seal the design with a top coat for a glossy, long-lasting finish.

Expert Tip

For extra sharp lines, use a fine-tipped nail art brush and high-quality, pigmented nail polish. Practicing on a nail wheel first can help perfect your technique.

What if I don't have striping tape?

How do I get the chevron angles perfect?

Practice makes perfect! Use a ruler to mark guidelines on a piece of paper or a nail wheel before attempting it on your nails.
