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.

Materials Needed:

  • Base coat and top coat

  • Nail polish in various colors

  • Striping tape

  • Tweezers (for tape removal)

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Prepare Your Nails: Apply a base coat and let it dry completely.

  2. Apply Striping Tape: Use striping tape to create geometric patterns on your nails.

  3. Apply Polish: Paint within the taped sections with different colors.

  4. Remove Tape: Carefully remove the tape while the polish is still wet.

  5. Seal the Design: Apply a top coat to protect the design and add shine.

Tips for Best Results:

  • Use thin layers of polish to avoid smudging.

  • Ensure the tape is firmly adhered to the nail to prevent bleeding.

  • Experiment with different geometric shapes and color combinations.

Time Estimate:

  • Preparation and base color: 10-15 minutes

  • Applying tape and polish: 20-30 minutes
