Apply chosen base colour.
Step 2
Place three dots as a guide in a triangle.
Step 3
Using a striper brush, draw two lines to join up the dots.
Step 4
Apply a horizontal line across the nail, creating an upside-down letter A.
Step 5
Draw the smile line, and curve the ‘corners’ of the letter A to round off the shape.

Fill in and refine the smile line until you’re happy with the overall look.
Step 7
Add a top coat to finish the look.
