A pretty in red and pink nail design tutorial

Nail design tutorial

Inspired by the draped red and pink top with black shorts look from Christian Dior's spring 2013 line, these nails are a fashion-forward way to celebrate Valentine's Day.

Red, pink and chic

Follow these easy steps to create this nail design at home. Here is what you'll need.

Start with a base coat — we chose pink.

Place a piece of tape diagonally across each nail, making sure to press down firmly.

Paint a coat of red over the area not taped off and let dry.

Gently peel off tape. Paint a line of black on the tips. You can do this by hand or tape it off. Follow with a top coat.
