If you’re looking to let loose with your nail art skills, think about trying to tame Danalynn Stockwood’s fun zebra nail designs. The Fitchburg, Mass.-based nail tech uses an innovative wide brush method for making the background and then a striper brush to paint the stripes.

1. Choose three acrylic paints, ranging from light to dark, and place them on a paper plate.

2. Blend the colors onto a fan brush and apply to the nail.

3. Use a striping brush to apply the zebra lines.

4. Add glitter between the stripes for a sparkly effect. Finish with two coats of top coat.
