Piet Mondrian Composition Nails


This tutorial is inspired by Piet Mondrian's Composition II in Red, Blue and Yellow and is something a little bit different with bold primary colours )

1)



You will need a five colours: black, yellow, white, blue and red. I used Barry M Black #47 (not pictured!) Nail Star Yellow, Barry M  Matt White #66,  Rimmel #198 Azure and Ciate Boudoir 


2)

The first thing to do is paint two thin coats of your white polish on all of your nails.

3)


Next, use your black polish and carefully paint some vertical and horizontal lines. They key to this look is not always going fully across the nail, so that the squares become a bit disjointed (sorry the picture came out blurry!)

4)


Next, fill in some of the squares with your red, yellow and black polishes. They can be adjacent but make sure to leave some squares white :)

5)

Then paint some different black outlines on the rest of your nails, and colour in with your red, blue, yellow and black polishes as in step 4. The grid can be however you like with more/less squares than mine depending on your nail size. 

And this is the finished Piet Mondrian inspired nail art :)
