The Digit-al Dozen DOES Geometric, Day 2: Broken Chevron Nail Art

Good evening, readers! It's a bit late for me to post around here, but today is Hailey's 7th birthday and it was a day of fun and family time. Today's Geometric Week mani is dedicated to Hailey as well because it was inspired by her new bed sheets. I'm calling this design "broken chevron" and I was so in love with the color combo as soon as we bought them. Check out my Instagram for a bonus shot holding a pillow case.

  • I started out with two coats of Rica Whiteout for the base and let dry.
  • I then used a nail art detail brush to paint each chevron and broken chevron line using the following colors: OPI Fly, OPI Girls Love Ponies, OPI Life Gave Me Lemons, Elevation Polish Pic du Gar, and OPI Kiss Me I'm Brazilian. 
  • Rica Glossy Glam was used to seal it all in.


What do you think of this look? Some of the colors could have used another coat for full coverage but it gives it more of a sketched design and I'm okay with that. I did get some smearing through the pinks with the top coat so I'll have to take extra care during application to prevent that in the future. Thanks so much for reading! Come back tomorrow for the next day of Geometric Week with The Digit-al Dozen. Don't forget to check out what the other ladies have done today below.

    These colours are beautiful together! "Broken chevron" is a great name for the design, and I totally agree with liking the "sketched" look that you got in some of your lines. It gives the design a nice depth that really compliments those awesome colours!
