“bright high contrast color pairings make a big statement. i love varying the design on each nail; leaving some with a french tip and others with a checkerboard. it keeps it balanced, not busy." -Rita Remark
step 1: after base coat, with a detail brush dipped in bikini so teeny, apply a french tip to the pinky, index and thumb nail. polish half of the middle nail and the entire ring fingernail with bikini so teeny
step 2: with a detail brush, finely trace out the checkerboard pattern with swoon in the lagoon
step 3: with the same brush and color, fill in every other square and finish with glossy topcoat
