nail art DIY! polka dots and florals


I was a tad bored yesterday and I decided to re paint my nails (always a productive task in my book)

I went for a rather girlie mix & match that I thought you guys might like! it took three stages; first up the base coats, I used models models own fuzzy peach and lemon meringue.

then I used my nail pen to do the polka dots (if you don't have a pen try dipping the end of a bobby pin into your polish to add the dots!)

next up to draw the flowers! I added 4-5 blobs of the fuzzy peach over my yellow nail, once dry I dabbed on a few green dots for the leaves and a few dashes of white over the orange/peach to suggest petals.


that's it! don't forget your top coat to seal and smooth the pattern..

hope you like it!
