Who Knew Zebra Striped Nails Could Be So Cute and Easy to Do Yourself?

It is unfortunate that more women do not get more creative with their acrylic nails and long natural nails.

If you live in a city, you will often find that long nails can get a bad reputation. Many women in the city wear their nails in tacky, gaudy styles and may or may not maintain the cleanliness under the nail, or the polish job on top of the nail. Unfortunately, though, this bad reputation is what has deterred many stylish women when it comes to wearing acrylic nails and long natural nails. Another thing that discourages many women is price. Fancy nail jobs can get expensive fast, if you go to a good salon.

I just recently came across a good article describing how you can create a zebra striped design on your own long acrylic/natural nails.

Now your first thought might be that zebra stripes on nails are a little bold, and might not be your style. However, it really is all in the clothes that you wear, and the way that you wear your hair and makeup when you wear your zebra striped nails. If you dress in elegant, attractive clothing, you will find that zebra striped nails will give your outfit a special kick that no other woman in the room will have.

All you need to create the look is a detail brush, a protective clear topcoat, white nail polish and black nail polish. Two important things to remember are, one, that you should let each coat dry for at least 20 minutes before applying the next coat and going about your day. This is vital, and so many people mess up all of their hard work by being hasty.

Two, you do not need to make your zebra stripes on nails perfectly straight. You can use any piece of paper as your guide and have a professional look for your nails in no time.
