Today’s theme is about patterns, and my nails are inspired by a classic plaid pattern in red and white with black stripes.
For me the pattern is associated with a short red plaid skirt, and that’s why I did an accent nail, where I painted a tiny black belt with buttons :) The belt ,as well as the stripes are painted freehand using a thin nail art brush.
I used OPI Big Apple Red as a base red color, which is imo a classic red nail polish, always appropriate and timeless. I’ve already used 2/3 of my Big Apple Red and I’m thinking of buying another bottle of it :) For the accent I used OPI Alpine Snow, a pure white creme, here it is in the pic:
On my nails:
- Lumene Gloss and Care base
- OPI Big Apple Red
- OPI Alpine Snow
- Black and white acrylic paints
- Clear top
So, it was my interpretation of Day 26: Inspired by a pattern, and I hope you liked my red plaid nails :) I must admit, that I did plaid nails for the Challenge a year ago (for the “Stripes” theme), you can see the design here. I thought that since I’ve already failed the Challenge, and that manicure was posted so long ago, it would be ok to do plaid pattern again :D
Thank you for reading, and see you soon! xxx

Thank you, Anna :)
Brilliant design! Loving the accent nail too! :-)
Hei :)) So nice to see you here, I’m glad you liked the design!
I don’t know why but my first thought when I saw the manicure was a naughty school girl :D I guess plaid is often associated with school uniforms
You are right :)) Red plaid skirt as a part of uniform.. not always red, but still :)
Very pretty! I love the accent :)
Thank you! :)
Aww, this is completely beautiful, your accent nail is so perfect – love everything about this mani!
Thank you Maria! I’m glad you liked my plaid nails :)
