OPI Stars N Stripes Nail Art

Get ready to feel the patriotic spirit with this iconic red, white and blue look from OPI.

  1. Step 1

    Properly prep nails and apply 1 coat of OPI Natural Nail Base Coat and allow to dry.

  2. Step 2

    Apply 1 coat of OPI Baby Take a Vow and allow to dry.

  3. Step 3

    Using a nail art detail brush and a square of tin foil or parchment paper as a palette, add a generous dot of OPI Cajun Shrimp and make an “A” shape on the nail.

  4. Step 4

    Add the line that crosses the “A” extending the sides so you can make the star “arms”.

  5. Step 5

    Connect the bottom and side arms of the “A” so you have a five pointed star and fill in the center.

  6. Step 6

    Repeat steps 4 and 5, with OPI Alpine Snow and your favorite blue nail color, placing the number of stars you desire on the nails you choose.

  7. Step 7

    Using your nail art detail brush and the shades above make swooshes of each shade around and near the stars creating a wavy stripe effect. The number of stripes is your preference.

  8. Step 8

    Allow the nail art to dry and generously apply OPI Top Coat in a floating manner. Try not to brush over the design repeatedly to avoid dragging the colors in your design.

  9. Final Look
