🤍 Nails checkered Vans

2024/12/21 Edited to

... Read moreHey everyone! 👋 So many of you have been asking about my latest nail obsession, and I'm so excited to share all the deets on how I got these super chic and trendy white square checkered Vans-inspired nails! Honestly, I've always loved the classic checkerboard pattern, especially on my comfy slip-on Vans, and I thought, 'Why not bring that cool vibe to my fingertips?' And voilà! These nails are now my absolute go-to for adding a touch of edgy aesthetic to any casual outfit. For this look, I specifically went for long, square-shaped white nails with crisp black checkerboard lines. I find the square shape really makes the pattern pop and gives it that modern, clean finish. If you're heading to a salon, make sure to ask for a stark white base with precise black checkerboard art, and emphasize you want a sharp, square tip. If you're a DIY nail art enthusiast like me, you'll need a good quality white polish for your base, a fine-tip nail art brush (or even a stamping plate for perfection!), and a black polish for the checks. Patience is key here, but trust me, the result is so worth it! Now, about those 'glitch checkered nails' some of you mentioned – that's a fantastic twist on this classic! Instead of perfectly aligned squares, you can intentionally make some lines slightly askew or thicker, giving it a cool, deconstructed, almost 'hardcore' aesthetic. Or, if you prefer something a bit more subtle, try a single accent nail with the checkerboard pattern, keeping the rest of your nails solid white or black. You could even experiment with different color combinations beyond the traditional black and white – imagine pastel checkerboards for spring, or moody dark greens and blues for a fall vibe! The possibilities for checkerboard nail art are endless. I love how these nails instantly elevate my everyday looks. They pair perfectly with everything from a cozy grey knitted sweater and black pants (like I'm wearing in the pic!) to a simple t-shirt and jeans. They add that effortless cool-girl factor without being over-the-top. Plus, having such a distinct nail design is a great conversation starter! To keep them looking fresh, always finish with a high-gloss top coat to protect your art and extend wear. Are you ready to rock some Vans-inspired checkerboard nails? Whether you're into the classic look, a glitchy version, or just exploring new nail color design ideas, this trend is definitely one to try. Let me know if you decide to get them – I'd love to see your take on this aesthetic checkered nail trend!

these were such a fun set! the flame design were very interesting to recreate because when painting on the design, it was upside down from my perspective. I was very happy with how these turned out 🤭 Checkered designs will forever have a place in my heart! It just looks so cool 😄🏁 #nails
