Start off with a base coat, I used Revlon’s “Quick Dry Base Coat.”

Apply a background color of your choice (I went off of a T-shirt with all the school colors), I used Sally Hansen’s Complete Salon Manicure “White Out.”

With another two colors of your choice and a striping brush, outline the nail around the cuticle area and the edges of the nail. I used Winstonia’s “Short” striping brush and Apple Barrel’s “Black” and “Cobalt Blue” acrylic paint.

For the accent nail with the team letters, paint the shapes using the center color of the letters and a detail brush. I used Red Carpet’s “Detail Brush” and the same blue color as before.

Do a thick outline of these letters using another color (for me the same black) and the same detail brush.

Make a thin outline around the inner color (blue) using a thin detail brush and another color. I used Winstonia’s “Berry Wine” brush and Apple Barrel’s “White” acrylic paint.

With another color of your choice, paint one half of the nail vertically. I used Sally Hansen’s Hard as Nails “Heart of Stone.” Don’t worry about the opacity now, we can fix that later.

With the third color of your choice, paint one half of half of the nail.. if that makes sense.. After doing that you can fix the opacity of the other half (the pink color for me). I painted the top half of the pink section with Sally Hansen’s Hard as Nails “No Hard Feelings.”

With yet another color of your choice, paint half of the other half of the nails (for me half of the blue half and directly next to the purple. I used Sally Hansen’s Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear “White On.”
