Get the look: Black & White Diamond Nail Art

Diamond nail art is really such a gorgeous look and I really wanted to create my own. I decided on a plain design that covers my entire nail and I created this look using black and white to keep it simplistic and chic.

There are so many designs and ideas out there for diamond nail art, so I decided to start with this simple and easy design. This is the first time that I am drawing on my nail free hand, so on some places it’s a little bit wonky, but for my first try I am quite impressed with how it came out. I really find it way more fun to draw the diamond shape by hand and you don’t need any fancy tools, all you need is your nail polish and a toothpick! Here is how you can create this look:

Step 1 - Paint your nail white and let your nail polish dry completely before you start with the diamond.
Step 2 - You will start with the outline around your nail. Use the toothpick to carefully line the outside of your nail.
Step 3 - Next draw the diamond shape on the inside of your nail.
Step 4 - Lastly draw the bottom line over the diamond (My lines kinda went blotchy here, so be very careful)

What I used:

White Nail Polish: Charlie Revlon Sheer White
Black Nail Polish: Essence colour & Go 144 black is back
Tool: Toothpick
