Chevrons in Milk Bath pointing up the nail over Sorbet Peach, evenly stepped.
3 bottles: Sorbet Peach, Milk Bath and Deep Apricot. Sorbet Peach and Milk Bath are close in tone, so the design is tonal rather than graphic. It shows up in daylight and softens indoors. The bottles are not all the same finish (sheer and crème), so the pattern picks up light differently from the ground.
On a round shape the pattern has a shallow, even canvas and nothing to snag, which is why the small repeating motifs tend to end up here.

How to paint Sorbet Peach Chevron nails
- 1 Buff, dehydrate and base coat, then cure. Three sheer coats of Sorbet Peach — it is translucent, so it builds rather than covers.
- 2 Draw the outermost Milk Bath chevron first and step inward, keeping the angle constant.
- 3 Gloss top coat, cure, then cuticle oil once it is out of the lamp.
Questions about Sorbet Peach Chevron
Is Sorbet Peach Chevron hard to do at home?
Yes, with a steady hand. The motif is freehand, so the first nail is usually the worst one. Budget around 45 minutes for a full set, and three colours means three chances for something to bleed, so cure between each one rather than working wet on wet.
What polish do I need for Sorbet Peach Chevron?
3 bottles: Sorbet Peach (sheer), Milk Bath (sheer) and Deep Apricot (crème). Plus a base coat and a gloss top coat, which every design here assumes you already have.
Does Sorbet Peach Chevron work on short nails?
Round is already the shortest shape here, so yes, this is one of the designs that works at almost any length.
How many coats does Sorbet Peach Chevron need?
More than you would expect. Sorbet Peach and Milk Bath are translucent, so the colour builds over three thin coats rather than covering in two. Stop wherever you like the depth — that is the point of a sheer.
