black tie

Step 1
Use a base coat to protect your natural nails. This will prevent them from getting stained by the polish.

Step 2Paint your ring finger with white nail varnish...you might even need two coats!


Step 3
Paint the remaining fingers with black polish.

Step 4 Use a black striper to create a "V" shape on your ring finger, and fill in the blank spots in the V shape.

Step 5
Use a "dotter" to create two black dots for the "buttons"

Step 6
Create an "X" shape to begin the bow-tie

Step 7
Draw two lines down each side to tie the bow together, and fill in any spaces to create a proper "bow tie"

Voila...... :)
