Missoni patterns are a fashion staple to anyone. The way they combine knit and design makes it wearable all year round in different colours for anyone of any age!
When looking on the Internet I found this Missoni inspired manicure. The look is wearable all year round as the colours could be changed into a more fresh and vibrant scheme in the summer months. Although this looks really effective it sounds complex and time consuming to do so might not be the easiest for any nail novices!
NAILED IT!

If you combine our love of chevron patterns with our love of colour, you get Missoni. Since the famous Italian fashion house doesn’t make nail decals, we figured we’d give “Missoni Nails” a shot! While doing these nails, I discovered my new favourite nail decorating tool: THE GREASE PENCIL! The work so well for drawing on nail polish once it’s dry! It’s almost like a soft coloured pencil. I got them in black and white and then did the colours with paint and polish…
I USED:
- Essie, Mink Muff (Essie, $8)as the base colour.
- Sharpie “Peel-Off” China Marker “the grease pencil” (Blick $0.81) to draw the chevron pattern.
- Orange and yellow acrylic paints (Blick, $4.31) in Cadmium Yellow and Cadmium Orange
- Sally Hansen Complete Manicure ($5-8) in “Fairy Teal”
- Sally Hansen Insta-dri Top Coat (Beso, $4.04)
