In another attempt at cute Spring nail art, I recently decided to depart from my usual manicure (who am I kidding; I don’t have a usual manicure!) and try something with a little more pizzaz!   

Now, this probably isn’t a look appropriate for the board room, but it’s a fun way to sport girly claws this Spring!

All you'll need is some tape, a Q-tip, 3 different shades of nail polish, and some top coat.

First, start by painting your nails with one or two coats of your color of choice, and let it dry.  (I’m loving rounded nails right now, but the shape is up to you.)


Next fold a 2-inch piece of Scotch tape just enough to cut out an inverted triangle, then cut out the triangle with some scissors, pull the tape apart, and apply to your nail.


Using a contrasting color, paint over the bow shape, and remove the tape.  Repeat on all nails.


Finally, using the flat end of a cut off Q-tip, apply a dot of polish in the middle of the bow. Finish with a top coat, and you’re done!
