Cool Geometric Pattern Nail Art I won't do again!

Why you ask? Because it took so incredibly long that I didn't even finish all nails!

It all started with me drawing this pattern on a piece of paper few months ago. I don't remember if I saw it somewhere but I'm sure it must have been done before. I finally decided to do this mani and this is the result:

I have started with a subtle gradient using OPI Toucan Do It If You Try and Red Hot Rio from the Brazil collection.Then I've painted white lines forming triangular patterns (tutorial here, stop at step 3) using OPI Alpine Snow. Then it was time to paint the inner black lines highlighting the triangles. I've used black acrylic paint but it took so long that I've decided to do only three nails.

 

I must say I actually really liked the result and the combination of two types on design. I wore the nails for three days and it pained me so much to take them off :(

 

Hope you like them too and don't forget to enter my 4 Year Blogiversary Giveaway!

This is such an awesome manicure, I love the geometric design! I can imagine it taking forever though ;)

It's a great design, although I don't fancy painting triangular patterns.

Ah ha, it's your post from 15.12.13 that I'm thinking of.
A Lucysstash manicure can be identified a mile away ;-)

naaaah that's totally different imo :)) But that's just me ;)

Mina 03/11/2014 12:26

Although I understand these were painfully time consuming... can I just say they are totally worth it? :))
they came out gorgeous and I had to stare for a long while to try and convince my brain no striping tape had been used: he just wouldn't believe it ;)
Gorgeous design!

Thank you very much for your kind words Mina! They were awesome, I admit :p

This is a great piece of work Lucie.
Haven't you done this before but in another colour? As i recognised the design straight away.

Lucy s Stash Nail Art 03/11/2014 11:02

Thank you. I have done similar but not exactly this design. Some bloggers have done similar designs to this using striping tape but I freehanded mine and added the inner black line :)

I would say it was worth all the effort because it looks so great!

Thank you very much!

This design is stunning! I was thinking of doing a design similar, but I agree, it must take so long! The gradient is so nice! Did you do both hands? :)

Lucy s Stash Nail Art 03/10/2014 23:30

Oh god no! Both hands would take at least 5 hours lol!

Maria 03/10/2014 17:51

Wow! That is stunning! I really like the contrast between the finished and 'unfinished' nails xx

Thank you Lisa xx

I LOVE this design! It looks so interesting! I like how each nail is ALMOST the same, except the addition of those black lines and it changes everything! Nice work and really awesome design.

I did a very similar pattern with striping tape, and YES it was sooo tedious, even just doing four fingers! http://www.aliquidlacquer.com/2014/01/fingerfoods-theme-buffet-2-geometric.html

Lucy s Stash Nail Art 03/10/2014 16:44

Very nice :) I did mine freehand though, it is so much hassle with tape
