Beautiful Bows


This is a lovely delicate take on a french manicure.

You will need:

  • White polish
  • Black polish
  • Clear polish










1. Do a normal french manicure with the white polish.

2. Do a thin black line above the white one.

3. Do two small triangles to form a small bow.

4. Complete with a clear top coat. 

Daisys


This is a cute girly design than can be done in so many different colours!

You will need:

  • Pink polish
  • White polish
  • Yellow polish
  • A larger dotting tool









1. Paint the nails pink

2. Using a dotting tool, do the white petals on the flowers. This is so you know you have enough space to fit them in by doing the outside of the flower first.
    Do one corner on the nail with 3 or 4 flowers, and 1 flower in the opposite         corner.

3. Do small yellow dots in the middle of the flowers.


This is a picture of when i had just finished with the nail polish i used. I hadnt cleaned up yet so excuse the mess!
