Tribal Aztec Nails

These are very simple tribal aztec nails which would look incredible on your nails. They are easy to achieve in just 9 steps and you do not need a lot of different coloured polishes. 

What you will need:
1. Base coat
2. Top coat - (Collection Lasting Colour: 2 Ice Cube)
3. Red polish or a red striper - (I used the striper brush with the striper polish wiped off and an ordinary red polish)
4. Yellow polish or a yellow striper - (I used a yellow striper)
5. Blue polish or a blue striper - (I used a blue striper brush with the striper polish wiped off and Maybelline Colour Show: Cool Blue)
6. Black polish - (Boudoir Beauty: Black Satin)
7. Small dotter
8. Tiny dotter

Step 1:
Apply a base coat over the whole nail.
Allow to dry completely. 

Step 2:
Paint a blue stripe on one side of the nail. 
Allow to dry completely. 

Step 3:
Paint a yellow stripe in the middle of the nail. 
Allow to dry completely. 

Step 4:
On the remainder of the nail, paint a red stripe. 
Allow to dry completely. 

Step 5:
Surrounding the yellow stripe, paint 2 black stripes with a black striper brush. I wiped the paint off of a black striper brush from an ordinary black striper and dipped it in the nail varnish. 
Move straight on to the next step. 

Step 6:
Draw small lines on the yellow stripe in a zig-zag pattern. 
Move straight on to the next step. 

Step 7:
With a small dotter, dot black polish at regular intervals on the red and blue stripes. 
Move straight on to the next step. 

Step 8:
Using a tiny dotter, dot black polish in the middle of each small triangle on the yellow polish. 
Allow the whole nail to dry completely.

Step 9:
Making sure the whole nail is dry, apply a generous top coat and allow to dry completely. 
Enjoy your design. 

How to wear:
You could wear this design on all of your nails. I would do this.
