Simple Summery Flower Nails!



I wanted to paint my nails but also didn't want to paint my nails, so I opted for a charming flower motif instead! It looks cute and is super easy to do at home...



You will need: 



A clear top coat. 
Mine is by Beauty Buffet; its cheap and cheerful.




Two fairly opaque nail polishes.
I used 17's "Parma Violet" and "Bolt from the blue".




A dotting pen:
To make a dotting pen, simply get hold of a pencil that has an eraser built into the end. Stick the needle into the eraser and there you have it! The pencil makes the needle easier to handle. 




A palette. 
Any form of flat based receptacle will be fine!
(I tried out other colours as you can see)




The Making:

(Sorry that there are no images) 

1. Apply one layer of your clear top coat and wait for it to go tacky.

2. Select the colour you desire to be the centre of the flower and pour some onto the palette.

3. Using your dotting tool, dab it into the colour on your palette and dot onto the centre (or anywhere you would like the flower) of your nail. 

4. Again, but with a different colour for the petals, pour the paint onto the palette.

5. Like before, dot the petals into place, and wait to dry.

6. Apply top coat to seal them in!
