A-Bridged Nails Tutorial

Hey Guys,
We are BACK with a new tutorial. This was inspired by mrcandiipants on tumblr. Okay so this design should fit in with the 'cold city' type theme. Perfect for winter if you want to get away from snowflakes and the common designs.Also, I decided to go with a pink background instead of white to change things up a bit. So without further ado, here it is:
This is what we will be working on today.
Okay pay attention to how the picture is going to be drawn :right side up from the TIP of your nail. You can check to see that you're not making a mistake by making sure the picture is NOT facing you. The bridge should look like this to someone you are showing this to.
Supplies to have ready: Black acrylic paint, nude nail polish, top/base coat and a thin paintbrush.
Put on basecoat
Put on 2 Coats of the beige nude color.
Get some black paint ready and a paint brush.
Draw one straight black line down the side of your thumb.
And another line
Then draw 3 lines down the middle. Make is slightly curvy like the cords on the bridge. It should not look as straight as a ruler.
Then draw 2 curvy line through the whole nail. One from each tip of the line. Paint on the lower one first to make it easier for yourself. 
Now finally draw then wispy lines down the middle. It shud be slightly uneven.
(I smudged due to an earlier mistake.) Its not shown now but later you'll see it : PAINT ON A BLACK LINE HORIZONALLY at the tip of the nail. Like the surface of the bridge.
Srry, at my pointer finger I was so concentrated that I forgot to take pictures of the steps. Lucky for you guys, this is the easiest one. Like shown above, Just draw 2 lines and paint on mini vertical lines between them. Don't forget to ad the last horizontal line across the tip. 
Now onto the ring finger, draw 2 lines down, the second one should be slightly longer.
Now like before, 3 lines down the middle.
Draw a 1 curvy line connecting nail to nail
And another one higher this time.
Vertical Wispy lines going downward
Horizontal line on the bottom.
Onto the ring finger! Curvy horizontal line across the line
This time draw a slight V-shaped curve.
You guessed it! more vertical lines. It should be a drawn little uneven.
Draw two lines down the pinkie with one longer than the other.
Draw 3 lines across then 2 curvy lines from each tip to the other side of the nails.
Then lastly draw vertical lines down the pinky.
Add top coat to make it really clear and glossy.
Finished!!!
