Mani-Monday: Chanel Quilted Nails


I have seen quilted nails everywhere recently. I love the look and classiness of them, so I decided to give them a try. They seem like they would be difficult to recreate, but with a little bit of practice they get easier. To get this nail look:
 
You will need:
Regular nail polish
Matte top coat
Card (credit card or any sturdy card will do)
 
Step 1: Paint you base color. Then apply the matte top coat and wait for it to dry for about 5-10 minutes. Make sure the polish doesn’t dry completely or else the lines will not show up. Also, make sure not to try to create the lines right after you apply the polish because it will lift the nail polish.
 
Step 2: After you have waited several minutes for it to dry, use the card to make the lines. Press down carefully to create diagonal lines.
 
Step 3: Using a toothpick or dotting tool, dip it into gold polish and dot it on the nail where each line intersects. You may also use glitter. Then, again, using the toothpick or dotting tool dipped in gold nail polish, draw on the Chanel logo. And you are done and have very fashionable Chanel quilted nails.

    1. You can definitely do this with a regular clear top coat as well.

    2. I'll have to try then :D I don't think it'd look as good as the matte though.
