Here's what you'll need, Nail polish remover. nail file and nail clippers. Top coat. Base coat. Two colors of nail polish. if you don't have a color with a narrow brush, you could use a nail-art pen for one of your colors, or a toothpick and a regular bottle of polish.

Steps :

1. First, prep for your manicure. When your nails are clean, shape them with the clippers and file. When you're done, wipe each nail with polish remover on a cotton ball or a tissue.
2. Apply your base coat.
3. make an "X" on each nail.
4. Then use a toothpick wrapped in a little bit of cotton, and dipped in remover — to gently clean up the top of the "X" so a "V" is all that remains.
5. Paint the bottoms of the triangles, then fill them in. Do a second layer if necessary.
6. using your nail color, carefully paint a second, larger "X" alongside your little triangles. the two polish colors should touch at the edges, but not overlap. When the first "X" is done, take the brush and spread the nail polish out to cover the rest of the nail.
7. Next comes the top coat.
8. And then once it's dry, voilà!
