Well, grab your striping tape and smallest paintbrush because Caption Polish has created a design that is honestly easy.

If you can color inside the lines, you can pull this off!

The white polish creates a neutral base for the colorful patchwork design. Then once you've wowed your friends with this simple look, you're ready to graduate to something a little more intricate.

Use Caption Base Coat as the foundation to your manicure. Polish a single thin coat on the nails of both hands.

Use Caption Core Color in Heaven Help Me. Polish a single thin coat on the nails of both hands. Apply a second thin coat of the same color. Allow to dry.

Step two

Apply nail-striping tape to section off various sizes of triangles and diagonals, rotating to a different position on each nail.

You can also use nail-striping tape to mask off fine linear areas.
