In this tutorial I'll show you how to get this beautiful manicure inspired by Jahtna's
stitched nails.

Hello everyone!
You always ask me to film more cute and girly nail art tutorials, so I think you'll love
this one!
We're making adorable stitched nails, which are very easy and quick to make, but look
fantastic in the end.
Ready?
Let's go!
Let's kick off by applying a base coat to protect our nails from staining.
Once this is dry apply 2 layers of medium pink polish on all the nails.
I like this shade so much, true Barbie pink right?
Now we need to draw on different shapes, which will be our stitched patches on the nails.
For example I will make hearts, squares, triangles and circles.
I think the easiest way to make a perfect heart and triangle shape is using a tape.
Fold a piece of tape in half and draw on half of a heart shape or half of a triangle.
Cut the heart and the triangle out and unfold the tape.
Place your stencil on the nail.
As you can see I am making two hearts and one triangle.
Apply a white polish on the sponge and dab the color on the nail, or you can just color
the shapes using a polish brush.
Quickly remove the tape while the polish is still wet and you're left with a perfect heart,
triangle, or any other symmetrical shape that you want to make.
Some forms are very easy to make just using a polish brush.
So on my thumb for example I am making a part of the square like so and on the pointer a
part of the circle.
You can also draw some shapes using a small paint brush.
I bought this one in a craft store.
On my pinky I am drawing a part of the square on the top corner of the nail and a circle
in a bottom corner.
So here is how your nails should look so far.
Remember that you can draw any forms you like and you can also use another color instead
of white.
OK, now we need to draw some patterns on our white patches.
I'll make some stripes, dots and hearts using two different shades of pink.
One will be the same Barbie pink as I have for the base and one a bit darker.
On the middle finger I went for pink stripes on the square patch and dots on the circle.
On the pinky I am making hearts using a toothpick and a dotted pattern.
I like to use a Barbie pink to make the pattern on one white patch and a darker pink polish
on the other white patch.
On the pointer I made some stripes in the triangle and hearts in the circle.
On the thumb, I decided to fill the heart with polka dots and the square with hearts.
Here is how the nails look so far!
I think they are super adorable already, but we still need to make some final touches.
Using a small paint brush, a striper or even a toothpick, outline the edges of all the
shapes.
I am using a black polish for this, but you can use a grey one if you want a softer look.
Just make thin lines on the edges of all your forms and your nails should look like this.
Lastly we need to make stitches by drawing short black lines on the edges of all our
shapes.
Now the hearts, squares, triangles and circles will look like they are stitched onto our
nails.
I like how stitches give that cartoon-ish feel.
I am using a paint brush for this but a toothpick would work just as great.
And this is how our nails look when stitched with cute different shapes!
Pretty awesome right?
Let the nails dry for at least half an hour and then apply a fast drying top coat to seal
and protect the design.
Now the nails are finished and absolutely stunning.
I think they look so cute, girly and unique.
You can totally use different colors and make countless variations from this nail art idea,
just have fun with it.
Let me know in the comments what you think of this manicure.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and will try to make lovely stitched nails yourself.
