Z~Zig Zag


Ah, the humble zigzag pattern. 

Electrical hazards and lightning are usually depicted with zigzags. 

As well as a certain comic superhero. 

According to wikipedia, the flag of Nagorno-Karabakh, contains a zigzag pattern that reflects patterns used in their local rug making. 

Do you know what else are zigzags good for?

NAILS OF COURSE!

Zigzag nail art is also sometimes refered to as chevron nail art, although zigzags and chevrons are two different things. (The chevron is just a single V whereas zigzag is a string of Vs). But no matter, they are both equally beautiful on nails!

Take some pointers from these youtubers and get these eye-catching nails for yourself!




If you do not fancy dealing with sticky tapes, you can always draw the zigzag pattern on with a fine brush. 
It might not give you the sharpest most precise lines, but it does not have to be perfect. 
Just remember to have fun experimenting!

T~TAPE



Simple and striking

These two words are sufficient to describe the kind of designs
that you can come up with nail art tapes. 

Nail art tapes are very narrow in width, comes in a variety of metallic colours and are usually available for purchase in stacks of 10s or more.

Some also paint over these thin strips of tape to make intricate patterns but they are wonderful embellishments to add 
a little something special to your nails.
