Nail Art: Chessboard

Chess has never been my strong point. All that talk of pawns confuses me, and it probably doesn't help that I used to make up my own rules during the game, so now nobody will play with me. I'm not surprised, I can be very annoying.

Chess irritates me, but these nails definitely don't!


I apologise for the quality of these photos, I couldn't find my parents awesome camera so I had to use my crappy one from 1994.

The polishes I used:

Barry M nail paint in NP47 (black)

Saffron nail polish in shade 12  - White


I started with a base coat and two coats of white polish which I left to dry. Next I took one of the long striping brushes included in my nail-art brush set. I dipped the brush into black and created a 3x4 grid on each of my nails. I used the small angled brush from my brush set to fill in alternating squares with black polish.

As always I finished with Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails base/top coat.

Checkmate! You're done! Easy chessboard nails. No pawns allowed.
