Here is a beautiful snake nail art design that you will absolutely LOVE!
Sexy meets chic with this blue snakeskin mani. Nail artist Simcha Whitehill aka Miss Pop shows you exactly how to recreate it with ease.
1. Prep. File your nails into the desired shape, push back your cuticles — DO NOT CUT THEM! — and then apply one layer of a base coat polish, followed by two coats of Essie Borrowed & Blue.
2. Paint on some diamond shapes. Turn the bottle brush so that it's on a diagonal and make three to four short strokes in a row up the middle of your nail to create a row of diamond shapes. Then, use the same motion to create a line of triangles along the sides of your nail. Here, I used Deborah Lippmann's On The Beach.
Boom: Chic nails that people are going to pin the hell out of.

3. Create scales. To create the look of scales along the diamonds and triangles, dip a small striper brush in O.P.I. Incognito In Sausalito,
and then press the brush tip down over and over again all around the
edge of the diamonds and triangles. "The quicker you apply the polish,
the more imperfect and real the scales will appear,"
4. Fill in the empty space with more scales. Using
the same brush dipped in the navy polish, place a few extra scales
inside the diamonds and in between them. Finally, seal your look with
topcoat.
Boom: Chic nails that people are going to pin the hell out of.
