Hamantaschen Purim Nails

Purim is a holiday when people dress up in funny costumes and everything's sort of topsy-turvy (for more information about Purim, read this article).  Hamantaschen are a traditional triangular cookie filled with jelly, poppy seeds, chocolate chips, or some other sweet filling.  Combining my love for baking (the post with gluten-free hamantaschen will be up sometime later this week) and my nail designs, I created this whimsical hamantaschen design.  Enjoy!


These are the colors I used:


This design begins with a base coat, and then 2 coats of pink nail polish.


Then, take a blue striper and draw 4 vertical lines on each nail.


Using a medium-large dotting tool or a small paintbrush, draw gold triangles on each nail.  I made them at different orientations so they're all different.


Use a dark red nail polish to make a smaller triangle (using a small dotting tool or a paintbrush) within each gold triangle.


Apply a top coat and you're done!
