Have you seen Rihanna's music video for her song "You Da One"? Music tastes aside, in the video she sports a great manicure. Rihanna is one of those stars on top of her nail game. She takes risks rather than falling back to nudes. Her nails in the video are white with black triangle v-gaps.
To recreate her look, I used China Glaze Snow as a base. Next, I taped my nails to expose a triangle section on the bottom and applied Wet 'n' Wild Black Creme. Taking off the tape revealed the triangle pattern like Rihanna's.
Her nail shape is rounded and pointed compared to mine. So, in order to make my nails look more like hers, I traced to the corners with black to give it some contouring almost. You can see this on my pinky nail. I'm not sure how effectively it works, but to me it seemed to make a difference. I really like Rihanna's nail shape. I'm debating whether or not I should round off my nails. All photos are taken in artificial light.
Searching online, there are many posts and videos featuring this design. Rihanna continues to impress me with her nail designs. More stars should take note of her style.
On To The Next Polish,
Katie
