00:05Hi, I'm Christy. I'm the photo editor for Refinery29 and I'm going to show you how to do a zipper
00:10nail.
00:16You have to start with two colors. It's usually best if one of the colors is kind of bright and
00:23then you use a black.
00:24So you start by making a black line down the center of your nail. That will become the center point
00:30for all of your Vs.
00:31The next step is to start the Vs. You want to do your first one with the black in the
00:40very middle of the nail.
00:43So now you start with the other color. To make sure it's symmetrical, I work on both sides of the
00:49black line.
00:50So work towards the tip of your nail and towards the base of your nail.
00:55So now you're going to do the same thing on the other side of the black line.
00:59To finish off, make a triangle at the base of your nail.
01:02If you can't fit another layer of gold and black, then just finish it off with going around with a
01:09black nail polish.
01:11And then the very last step is to take your black and redo the center line.
01:16That way it looks finished and you can hide any mistakes that you made.
01:22So that's how you do a zipper nail. Not too hard. Good luck!
01:27Good luck!
01:29Good luck!
