Super Bowl-inspired nail design for San Francisco 49ers fans

Nail design tutorial

In honor of the 49ers making it to the Super Bowl this year, we created this nail art to wear when rooting on your team.

Follow these easy steps to create the full nail design. At the end, add the number of your favorite player on your thumb for a personal touch (in this case, we chose #7 for Quarterback Colin Kaepernick).

Start with a base coat of red on the thumb and gold on the rest of your nails.

Paint some strips of tape with red and white polish and let dry.

Cut the painted red tape into strips and stick them on the middle of your gold nails.

Cut thinner strips of the white painted tape and place over the middle of the red strips.

Trim excess tape.

Using the small paint brush, paint the number of your favorite player on your thumbs and finish with top coat.
