For this simple design, you’ll use white paint in the middle and red on either side when you hold your hands together. This will Crete a color pattern that reflects the flag when you set your hands slide bye side.
You can accentuate this color pattern a few ways. First, you might take a matte top coat and brush it on to the top of all of your nails.
This would make the colors have a unique eggshell or silky fabric feel or finish. Play around with different top coats to find what look you like best. Think about the outfit you will wear so that your overall look matches.
Another idea might be to use a super glossy top coat to make the colors shine beautifully bright. It might be a good idea to double check the paint colors you use to make sure they allude to the flag appropriately.
Super glossy nails look best when the nail beds are all the same height and filed to the same shape—it’s good to remember to take the time and prepare your hands and nails before you begin your nail paint artistry. Whatever design you decide to go with to celebrate Mexican culture, there are plenty of references from which you can find inspiration from online. Think about the colors of a fiesta blanket or a piñata.
How might you translate those shapes and color to a nail look? Use a pencil and paper and sketch out some ideas before you choose colors so you can shop for your artists palette efficiently.
Have fun and research Mexican culture when you paint Mexican nails!
