Super Easy DIY Zebra Mani

This is definitely not a look I would wear all the time, however it was fun while it lasted [about a week]. The good thing about this mani is that the Zebra stripes don't require perfect lines, so it takes the fuss out of striping the nails. The most important part of this mani is making sure your striping color is thin enough. If it's too thick you may have thick, goopy lines on your digits. No bueno. - If you notice your striping polish is a little thick, add a bit of polish thinner (thanks LMV!) 

You Will Need:  

Base Coat - I used Essie

Base Color - I used "Blue Collar" by Orly

Black Striping Color - It's important to use an actual striping polish like the polish above, as the applicator wand is like a thin, long paintbrush; perfect for striping.

Start by applying your base coat, and allow to dry thoroughly

Paint your nails with two coats of your base color and allow to dry for about 20-30 minutes 

"Stripe" your nails as illustrated above; making your way up the entire nail.

Sweep a clear top coat over your nails and allow to dry thoroughly

Enjoy your new nails!
