Checkered Nails!

I realize that a week has not passed since my first post but I just could not help myself hehe.
I thought of something else do to and had the urge to share it with all... one... of you.

Introducing checkered nails~!
For whenever you feel like making your nails look like a picnic blanket :)

First start off with a base coat, I use Orly's Nail Armor
Then do two coats of OPI's Skull & Glossbones
Take the brush side of a green nail art pen and draw 3-4 vertical lines down your nail
Then go ahead and draw horizontal lines, after that take the pen portion of the cap and start to fill the squares diagonally until you get....
this! 

Now take a transparent glittery polish such as China Glaze's Fairy Dust and apply one coat once your design has dried thoroughly
This would be the rough draft...
Lastly, you're going to need your handy dandy top coat, which for me is the Out The Door top coat, to seal in all your hard work!
And here we are! The final design~ 
I hope you had fun with this post!
see you all soon! :)
