Nail Art Tutorial: Medal Nails

I wasn't really aiming to create "Medal-Like" nails. But it was late at night before my big day of Hosting Duty. I looked at my nails at exactly 12mn and my eyes grew wide --- I had to do something about my nails!

Pulling myself apart from my son's comforting hug (Most difficult thing to do!), I motioned Mr. AMW to follow me (because he is supportive like that!) hahahah

I promised myself I won't go overboard with my nail art, I just needed a couple of minutes to make my nails look decent for the next day's shoot and I understood very well I had to wake up early!

TADA!

Step 1:
Apply 2 Coats of Orly Nail Lacquer in Prelude to A Kiss. Let Dry.

Step 2:

Using a thin nail art brush, apply lines (shaped like V) on each nail. I used Orly Nail Lacquer in Pink Chocolate for this.

2 V-shaped lines on each nail.

Step 3:

Add Rhinestones.

To secure rhinestones, apply a coat of Top Coat, while the clear top coat is still wet....

Grab your rhinestones using a nail art dotting tool (a ballpen or toothpick if you don't have such tool) and press the rhinestones just below the sharp corner of V shaped lines.

Step 4:
Secure everything with Girlstuff Fast Dry Top Coat.

I made "extra" by adding 3 rhinestones on my thumbnails..because, why not?

VOILA!
My medal-like nails which Kyle loves so much because whenever he finishes his milk, I always exclaimed: "Kyle is a Champion!" and he would look at my nails.
