On Beauty High: Plaid Tutorial

 
Perfectly pretty plaid is everywhere this summer, and my version of plaid nails are available at Beauty High with a tutorial!

What I especially love about plaid is that you can reuse it in the winter, with your darker shades instead of these bright summers.

Here I used two of the new China Glaze jellies from the Sunsational collection (Keepin' It Teal and Shell-O). But for the winter, you could try darker jellies, like those from the Zoya Gloss collection (Fall 2012).

For the full tutorial, head over to Beauty High for my guest post. I think you'll really love this one!

On Beauty High: Crosshatched Tutorial

Stop by Beauty High today to see another neato tutorial for some sweet geometric nails in my guest post, Awesome Nail Art Idea: The Crosshatched Manicure!

The colors I used are both subtle, so the gradient itself is subtle, but you can punch it up to any mix you prefer. Don't limit yourself to just two colors either if you don't mind the cleanup. I decided to use Blu (Zoya) and Something Sweet (China Glaze).

Painting the straight black lines was really simple too. I recreated it on my right hand, no problem.

The full tutorial is available on Beauty High here, and I'll be teamed up one more time for Manicure Month this July with Beauty High, so keep an eye out for more!
