You need to :

  1. Add a parent class/id infront of the selector ( So that the interpreter knows that this selector is more prominent, since it is more specific )
  2. Your stylesheet must be added after the bootstrap stylesheet ( Cascading - the styles added later will override the previous ones )

e.g

ul.nav {} or #parent ul.nav {}
