The Nails Files Part 3



I wish I had the time and the patience to be able to paint my nails all pretty and that but unfortunately most of the time they are left clipped short, slightly broken and just generally looking worse for wear.  However, sometimes complete and utter boredom may set in and I find myself with nothing to do and tada, I paint my nails.
You are very lucky this time as I have done a mini tutorial, proof of exactly how bored I was, so here goes:

A Bunch of Fives

Start off with a base coat.
I chose a very light colour so not to distract from my pattern, you however, can use whatever colour your heart desires.


Then with a paper clip or preferably something less skanky, put a dot in the middle of each nail.  I’ve decided to use different colours for each nail.

Then put dots in a different colour around each central dot, these will be your lovely pertals.


Finally, make a small line with a green nail varnish for your stem.


And tada, some lovely flowery nails.  Gorgeous!



Toodle Pip,

  10. So cute :) I am the same as you with my nails. Normally they are clipped short and just painted red but every now and again I like to try something fun like this (usually when I am bored too)
