That’s all there is to this easy nail art design. As you can see, it looks great with white and a bold color, such as this cute purple -perfect for summer! However, you could easily replicate this look with any other color combinations of your choice.

Not quite my favorite look, but what do *I* know. Maybe it's just too busy for such a small surface. Wondering if it would look better with less horizontal zig zag lines??
