How to Do the Checkered Print Nail Art at Home?

How could you go through autumn and winter without a set of nails that sets the mood?

Hello everyone! I’m a star employee at CHROMÉCLAIR, a brand of hema free gel polish .Today we bring you this blue-brown plaid print nail tutorial, blending the retro charm of plaid with the warmth of blue-brown tones. Paired with delicate bow accents, it lets you radiate elegance this fall and winter.

Step 1: Primer and Concealer

First, apply a nude brown primer with a patting motion.

Gently dab onto the nail to conceal the free edge, laying the foundation for subsequent pattern application. This creates a natural gradient effect, making the nails appear fuller.

Step 2: Pattern Transfer

– Apply white patty glue to the lace transfer steel plate. Use a squeegee to remove excess glue. Press the stamp to transfer the lace pattern.

The pattern is printed diagonally onto the nail surface, then wiped off the fingertips with a cotton pad.

This adds a touch of delicate lace texture to the manicure, as if dressing the nails in a fine lace garment.

– Next, apply the blue transfer checkered base pattern. For wider nails, you can directly paint the color and touch up the edges to make the checkered outline more defined.

– Then overprint with brown transfer plaid to enrich the plaid’s depth.

The clash of blue and brown plaid instantly evokes a vintage autumn-winter vibe.

– Finally, stamp some white four-pointed stars onto the checkered pattern to add a touch of starlight to the manicure, making the overall design more vibrant.

Step 3: Top Coat and Finishing Touches

Apply a matte top coat to the entire nail and cure under a UV/LED lamp. The matte finish adds a warm, autumnal and wintry feel to the manicure. Once the top coat is completely dry,

Outline the edges of the checkered pattern with white paint to make the lines more distinct.

Step 4: Decorative Accents

Use the mold to create two black bows.

Adorned with adhesive bows on the nail surface, the delicate bows serve as the perfect finishing touch, infusing the entire design with a sweet-and-edgy style.

Finally, cure under the lamp, and your fluffy blue-brown plaid print nails with a perfect autumn-winter vibe are complete!
