#ManiMonday Sorority Edition: Kappa Kappa Gamma

Happy #ManiMonday! It’s time for this week’s sorority nail art post, and this week we’re featuring Kappa Kappa Gamma. Keep reading to find out how to create a KKG-inspired mani full of blue polishes, glitter and a dainty fleur-de-lis!

Kappa’s colors are dark blue and light blue so I used China Glaze Ride the Waves ($4.94) and Essie Mint Candy Apple ($8.50). I used Sinful Colors’ Queen of Beauty ($4.34) to add a bit of glitz to the mani.

To begin, paint your thumb and pinky with the light blue and your middle three fingers with the dark blue.

Next, using the light blue polish and a toothpick, write the letters for Kappa Kappa Gamma on the middle three fingers, like the below.

To create the fleur-de-lis, Kappa’s flower, start by drawing a line down the middle of your thumb. Finish it off by drawing two small c’s on either side of the line.

To add some fun to your mani, paint your pinky with the glitter polish. I used quite a few coats to make the glitter more concentrated, but you can customize it to be as glittery as you’d like!

And there your have it—your Kappa Kappa Gamma mani is complete! As always, use a topcoat and allow sufficient dry time between each layer of polish. Now you’re ready to go show off your beautiful nails to your sisters!
