More Studs...

I love these studs! Seriously. I spend way more time than I'm proud to admit quite a bit of time thinking of ideas for studded manicures. They're so fun and with minimal effort, you get a really edgy design.

Okay, so this took a little more than minimal effort. I started with OPI It's My Year as the base color. I don't use this color nearly often enough. Every time I do, I remember that it's one of my favorites. When it was dried, I used Scotch tape and Sally Hansen White On to make the checker squares. I topcoated and placed my studs while still wet. Last, I finished with a thick coat of topcoat to make sure the studs didn't budge.
