I decided to do my first color blocking manicure (ever) inspired by Mondrain compositions.
Materials
Black, white, red, yellow, and blue polish
Striping tape
Small Brush
I started with one coat of Nabi 'Black' on all my fingers.
For my accent fingers I placed random sized squares and rectangles using striping tape.
I then applied white polish and removed the tapes. I used Sinful Colors 'Snow Me White' for my white polish.

I then used red, yellow, and blue polish and a small brush to fill in some of the squares/rectangles. I used OPI 'Coca‐Cola Red', Sinful Colors 'Endless Blue,' and China Glaze 'Metro Pollen‐tin'.
I did have to touch up my black lines. I used a black nail art striper to freshen up and straighten up my lines.
I love this design! Between the geometric pattern and the colors its just perfect. It is so easy to create and a great way to practice the striping tape process. Of course, if you are really good (or want to practice your freehand), you can start with a white base polish and hand paint the black lines using a nail art striper too. This would save you some time, but I prefer using the tape because my lines are more consistent and straighter. Either way you should try this design, it is really striking.
I really hope you enjoyed this design just as much as me. If you do, please like/follow me, you can do so by clicking the 'Join this Site' icon. You can also follow me through Google+, Bloglovin, Facebook, Instagram, and/or Pinterest. Thanks for stopping by, see you next time.
