Scarab Beetle Nails

These nails were inspired by a nail art picture showing a similar simple design but more of a tulip shape. I though I would add a bright green metallic polish, outline the shapes in black and color in the negative space red to resemble the back of a scarab beetle carapace.
The base color I used was "Impanema Girl" by Layla, and the red is "Stiletto" from Claire's over a white base.
I have some step-by-step photos down at the bottom to show you what I did.



The only tools required are black and white striper brushes or nail art pens.
