How to Create Geometric Nail Art
Geometric nail art offers a modern and stylish look that can be achieved with simple techniques. Start by applying a base coat and allowing it to dry completely. Use striping tape to create geometric patterns like triangles, squares, or diagonal lines on your nails. Apply different colors of polish within the taped sections, and carefully remove the tape while the polish is still wet to reveal sharp, clean lines. Finish with a top coat to protect your design. This precise technique is perfect for Russian manicures, which emphasize detailed and immaculate nail art.
