Cute, Simple Nail Designs: Striped Bow Tie

Image courtesy of Fay-morrow on Tumblr and Flickr. If you are looking for cute, simple nail designs, look no further. If you enjoy striped nails, then you are in for a treat. The artist took striped nails to the next level by adding a cute bow tie on each of her thumbs. The best part about this look is that you can re-create it without any fancy tools. The only thing you need are different colors of nail polish: black white and blue. Want to make this nail design even more formal? You can substitute the blue background for blue instead.

Re-create this simple, fun nail design

1. As you can see in the photo, the base color is blue. So, paint all of your nails wit a rich blue color.
2. The next thing you want to do is draw thick black and white stripes across the top of each of your nails. Because you don’t want the black and white to mix. You should start with one color first and wait for it to dry before using the second color. For example, draw two white stripes on each nail. Let dry. Then go back and add your black stripes. Another option is to paint the top half- of your nail all white. Then go back and add two black stripes.
3. Once you are satisfied with your striped nails, it is time to add the final touch to this simple, fun nail design-the bow tie. Because your thumb has the largest nail, it is easiest to draw the bow tie just on your thumbs. Drawing a design on just one finger is very popular and fun these days. Draw your bow tie in white. Then go back and outline in black nail polish. To be more precise, you can use a black nail art brush to outline your bow tie.

Now your simple, fun nail design is complete!
