Rubik's Cube! I had to throw these up here even though I did them a while ago as I still get heaps of questions about them from my followers on IG and FB. How did you do these? How did you get them so neat?
Simple answer...they took agesssssss! I will do a tutorial for them when I have more time but for now here is a quick explanation.

- Paint your nails black. Wait for them to dry COMPLETELY or apply a fast drying top coat to cheat a little and get them to dry fast.
- Cut up 30 pieces of striping tape
- 3. Lay them in a tic-tac-toe arrangement however also add a strip to the top and bottom of the nail
- Fill in all the little square spaces with a small detail brush.
- Remove tape in the reverse order to how you applied it - super important!
- Use a black striping brush/polish to run over the lines if they are a little messy and add some black to each side of the nail.
- Wait for at least 10 min before applying top coat so that your lines or colours don't smudge or smear.
It's really not too hard just a little time consuming :) As for the polishes I used, well I kinda mixed and matched a few polishes together to get the right hue for the Rubik's Cube colours. If you give them a try I would love to see so please share. On a side note...I had a Rubik's cube when I was little and for the life of me I could never work it out and drove me to despair that I couldn't solve it lol
