Get The Look
Step 1: Start with a base of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri In Record Lime. This one has a slight shimmer to it and is pretty opaque with a thicker texture. The curved, flat brush made it easy to create a smooth line at the cuticle. I ended up using two coats just to make sure there wasn’t any patchiness.
Step 2: Add a coat of Sally Hansen Tweedy Fuzzy Coat. Using my Dab, Dip & Glide glitter application method, you should be able to get good coverage with one coat. Seal the fibers in by adding a layer of top coat.
Step 3: Create the tweed pattern using a nail art brush dipped in Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On. Tweed is essentially a pattern of straight lines. You can mimic it on your nails by applying lines in a cross pattern with random lines thrown into the mix.
Step 4: Repeat the process using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out to fill in around and over the white.
Step 5: Seal with one last layer of top coat, when dry. I waited a bit longer than usual to apply top coat so I didn’t ruin the lines.

Application Tips
- Wipe off the nail art brush, including the stem, to avoid drips or making your lines too thick.
- Rather than dip the brush in the bottle, pour the polish out onto card stock or a piece of plastic, like an artist’s palette. Just work quickly with small amounts and take out more polish, as needed, so it doesn’t thicken.
- If working with a nail art brush isn’t for you, try the Sally Hansen Nail Art Pens. Because they are water-based, you can wipe away mistakes and start over. Personally, I have the penmanship of a pre-schooler, so using a natural, straight brush stroke with a nail art brush is more comfortable.
