"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nWant to change up your nail art because it's, well, Friday? Obviously. You've got to try this chic chevron design.\n\nNail artist Simcha Whitehill aka Miss Pop shows and tells Cosmo exactly how to copy this geometric mani. 1. Prep and paint. \"After you've filed your nails into the desired shape, pushed back your cuticles\" \u2014 remember, DO NOT CUT THEM! \u2014 \"and applied a basecoat, paint your nails with a polish that has a subtle shimmer,\" says Whitehill. \"It helps make your natural nail look extra healthy.\" I used Deborah Lippmann \"Diamonds and Pearls.\"2. Draw a \"V.\" \"With a metallic silver polish and two diagonal strokes, using the brush that comes with lacquer, create a \"V\" as the base of your chevron shape,\" she says. I used Essie \"There Is No Place Like Chrome.\"3. Create a \"W\" with a striper brush. \"You can get a striper brush at any art supply store \u2014 you'll need one to draw any skinny or small designs onto your nail,\" Whitehill explains. \"That said, once you have a striper brush, dip it into a dark navy polish and trace the left side of your nail bed. Then, bring the line up along the silver \"V,\" outlining it, and then finish tracing the right side of your nail to complete the chevron shape.\" I used Dior \"Vernis Blue Label.\"4. Fill in the open spaces. \"Using the striper brush again, fill in the exposed parts of your nail, aside from the middle section, with the same navy paint you used to create the \"W,\" notes Whitehill. \"Then, finish with your favorite top coat.\"Voil\u00E0! Now go Instagram those dope digits.Photo Credit: Elizabeth GriffinFollow Carly Cardellino on Facebook and Twitter."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
