For our first abstract design we're going to start with our predominant color which is our shiny red. We're going to start in the middle left hand side of the nail and just make an upward arch toward the nail, stopping at about a quarter of the way down. We're going to do this on five of our nails, and again, this is going to be, it's not going to be our longest line so you just want to stop about a quarter of the way down. Start middle left hand side of the nail in an upward arch. That is the first line to our first abstract nail art design. If you make your line a little to long, that's fine. If you make it too short you can always go back and add just a little extra polish with your striping brush to it to make it a little longer. They're not all going to be the same and they're not all going to be perfect, but it's the overall design that is going to look the same.
