I haven't tried it yet but how about using these for chevron View attachment 42150View attachment 42151

I use these from the range.
You need to make sure you trim down the sides properly and topcoat twice so they don't stick up.
But so much easier than painting them in freehand

Brought this thread back up after a search of how to do chevron nails!

Wondered if anyone had used the tape stencil method with additives rather than another colour shellac?

I'm going to try bronze additive over mint convertible using stencil (once the zig zag scissors I just ordered off eBay have arrived!) as I'm hoping it will be easier than carving and less bumpy if you know what I mean.

If anyone's already experimented with using additives for this, please share any tips!

Thanks xxxx

Hi,

These are mine that I did recently, I used CND Shellac Studio White as the base and Blackpool applied with a dotting tool

Have you used Konad? You can get a chevron plate and use that over CND Shellac! It's gets lovely crisp lines

Thanks Amelia, I have got konad (not got the chevron plate) but I've only tried a few times and found it so hard to use! I need to practice more admittedly! However id still be limited by the konad colours and it'd be great to try and do it with additives to get a broad range of colours and effects xxxx

Can anyone tell me the konad plate number with the chevron on it? Xxx
