How do I draw checkered designs on nails?

No, not gluing on fake nails. How do you draw even squares on your nails like this: http://th01.deviantart.com/fs27/300W/i/2鈥?/a>


Where do you get smaller brushes? My friend said use toothpicks for nail art but I think it'll make it all bumpy...How do I draw checkered designs on nails?
Usually people go to the salon for this kind of stuff, but you can also do this:


METHOD 1:


Apply a clear coat of nail polish before you do anything to prevent stains or anything that might damage them. Make it at least two coats.


Draw squares all over the nails with a white marker, like a checkerboard. Fill in the squares you want to be white.


Fill in the remaining squares with a thin black Sharpie marker.


Wait a few minutes or until dry.


Apply a clear coat to prevent erasure.


METHOD 2:


Apply a coat or two of white nail polish.


Draw squares all over the nails with a black marker, like a checkerboard. Fill in the squares you want to be black. You will not need to draw white squares because of the nail polish.


Wait a few minutes or until dry.


Apply a clear coat to prevent erasure.





TIPS:


Don't make the squares too small or too big. If they're too small it will be hard to make them checkered, if they're too big they might look hideous.


Practice makes perfect, don't expect them to come out perfectly nice the first try, but don't give up!





Make sure the Sharpie is dried completely before you apply the clear coat finish, as by doing so you might make a Sharpie mess, in other words, it would not longer be checkered, it would be white with purple stains. So wait for it to dry.


Do not sniff the Sharpie


Do not swallow the nail polish, remover or any other item used for this.

The best suggestion is colorful tape, cut out squares and put them on your nails paint over the tape and everything then you will have say pink nails with white squares then you can take a nail color marke(at Walgreens or something) or a nail brush and color in the white squares or leave them white if you want...thats how i do it and they normally turn out very nice. Or take like a lip gloss brush and cut some of the hairs and use it.
