High def chevron nail art

Hey guys,

Happy Friday!  Finally.  It has been a pretty good week even though it has been busy.  Every month just keeps getting busier and busier.  Speaking of, happy JUNE!  Whaaaat!!  It’s insane.  I feel like I am still ‘recovering” from Christmas holidays and here we are almost half way through the year.  What is this?  Anyway, how has your week been?  Do you have any weekend plans?

I love chevrons.  I love zigzags and all kinds of shapes too but chevrons are so stunning and versatile.  You can do so much with them. Of course, when I saw this post by Sveta Sanders I was completely inspired.  I struggled to decide which colours to use but I knew I wanted to use China Glaze – High def.  Let me show you what I came up with and also a swatch.

I started with 2 coats of China Glaze – Sand in my mistletoes on all my nails and left that to dry completely.  While it was drying I went to work and made some decals.  I stamped using Lina – Feeling shapely 01 and Mundo de Unas – Gold.  I then coloured in sections of chevron using China Glaze – High def and China Glaze – Intelligence, integrity & courage.  I left the middle chevron open.  Once the decals were all done and dry I applied them to my middle and ring fingers.  On my index and pinky I used just one line of chevron and kept China Glaze – High def on the tips.  I topcoated and voila!

I was a little unsure about the colour combo at first but as I wore it the more I liked it.  High def reminds me of denim and I just loved having it on the tips.  I have a swatch too so let me show you

China Glaze – Sand in my mistletoes

This is 2 coats with no topcoat.  This is a nude creme with a peachy pink undertone.  It has a nice formula with a good opacity.  Theres nothing really wrong with it but I have better nudes with better formula in my stash.  It’s still a nice colour.  This one is from the Seas and greetings collections. I will be swatching that collection as well while I am on this swatching kick.

What do you think? Do you like chevrons too? What colours should I have used with this idea?  Let me know what you think.
