Nail File: Venessa Arizaga's Far Side

Blogging some of the most magical manicures in the game—all inspired by her favorite pieces at OC—beauty contributor Taryn (aka MISS LADYFINGER) is back for round two. This week she tackles a Venessa Arizaga creation.

I'm no wallflower, so when I feasted my eyes on this amazing Venessa Arizaga necklace, from her "Far Side" collection for spring, I knew I either needed it in my possession ASAP or, at the very least, on my nails.

To recreate this look you'll need:
Yellow polish, I used Mimosa by Chanel
Green nail art brush, I used Green Nail Art by Color Club Duo
Black nail art pen, I used Black by Sally Hansen
Silver polish, I used Tuck Me In by Ginger + Liz

1. Start with a full yellow nail

2. Using your black nail art pen, draw a diagonal zigzag line starting from the top right of your nail to the halfway point on the other side.

3. Apply the green nail art pen on either side of the black line. This is a perfect time to cover up any mistakes! 4. As a final touch, paint silver along the tip of your nail, following the curve of your zigzag line. 5. Finish with a top coat and you've got yourself some statement nails to match your statement necklace!
