Tuxedo Nails

Tuxedo nails can be used for a black tie event or what ever takes your fancy! Its a classy style that is easy to achieve.

You will need:
White Nail Polish
Thin Black Nail Art Pen
(Bought off ebay or from Argos or some drug stores)
Tooth Pick (optional)
Clear Nail Polish.
&
A Steady Hand!
 
 
 Paint your nails in 2 coats of white nails polish. (To coats so that the colour is thick)

Next, using a black nail art pen drawe 2 lines from the corner of your nails to meet at the centre of the tip. Then fill in the 2 triangles on the edges. 
 
Using the black nail art pen form a cross that will act a the bow tie.
 
 
Once again fill in the triangles.
 
 
Place 2 dots of black polish (use a tooth pick of pencil if easier) to act as the buttons between the 'V' already in place.

Finally, put a layer of clear nail varnish over the top to lower the risk of chips, but also to give the finishing product a glossy shine.

If you don't want to paint all of your nails in the same way, i find it also looks good on fust the thumb or ring finger or both.

Enjoy!
