Day 18 - Orange and Blue Triangle Nails

Finally, I have a nail design to post about. Today I had a client that wanted a bold and bright  Gel nail polish design. She chose the orange colour and gave me free reign to come up with a design.

I decided to go with triangles and together we chose the contrasting blue colour.

I painted all the nails orange except the ring finger, which I painted blue. I put blue glitter on the ring finger also.




Then onto the triangles, I did a few triangles at a time before setting in the light, then I would add more triangles and add more polish to any triangles that weren't opaque.

Then Top Coat and we are finished.

I know that this colour combination won't be for everybody, but you can swap it out for your favourite colours or use complimentary colours in stead of the contrasting blue and orange that I have used.

This triangle design is quite similar to this design.

Day 9 - Triangle Nails

Another set of 21st birthday nails, this time my client brought in four photos of Orly Nail Girls work and we decided to try and recreate this look.

I started by mixing together two gel colours to create the base colour and then painted on the triangle in three different colours. Adding glitter on top of a bronze gel polish to give a little sparkle.

I know it is not identical to the original, we only did one finger and used different colours but I really like the way this design turned out.

It is a fairly simple design but straight lines and shapes are always time consuming.

What do you think of this design?
