This design was inspired by pinupgirlclothing.com and all their harlequin print clothing pieces. It was not difficult to create but a little time consuming.
Materials
Base and top coat
Black and white polish
Your choice of colored polishes
Striping brush
Small brush
I started my design with two coats of OPI 'Alpine Snow' and topped it off with one coat of OPI 'I Juggle...Men'. This topper is very pretty but unfortunately my lighting is not picking up the iridescent sparkles (I'm still working on improving my lighting).
I then used a black nail art striper to create a diamond-shaped grid pattern. I did this freehand but I kind of wish I had used tape. However, I did not have the patience to tape out this design.
I then used the same black nail polish and filled in some of the diamonds. I filled them in by row.
I then used various colors to fill in most of the white spaces that remained. I used all OPI polishes to fill in the white.
Pink - 'Chicago Champagne Toast'
Blue - 'Yodel Me on My Cell'
Purple - 'Kermit Me to Speak'
Burgundy - 'Thank Glogg it's Friday'
Green - 'Green on the Runway'
I performed a little clean up magic, added another coat of OPI 'I Juggle...Men' and a quick drying top coat and voila! A harlequin vintage inspired print.
