Finished nails

Tools

 I used:

• 'Collection 2000 103 French White'
• 'Maybelline New York 840 Purple Reflect'
• 'Collection 2000 12 Blue My Mind'
• 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 198 Azure'
• 'Barry M 306 Blueberry I/C'
• 'Barry M nail art pen white'
• 'Barry M 54 Clear'
• A make up sponge

Step 1

Paint your nails with the white. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!

Step 2

Paint your nails with the purple. You'll probably only need one coat as this is quite a dark varnish.

Step 3

 Use the sponge to dab some dark blue across the nails. You don't need to be particularly neat about this, it's just to make the sky look more than one colour.

Step 4

Use the sponge to dab on some of the middle shade of blue (the Rimmel one). You want to put this so it will be under where the lightening strike will go so make some nails have one branch and others have two or three.

Step 5

Use the sponge to dab some of the palest blue down the centre of the previous blue stripes.

Step 6

Use the pen to draw the lightening strikes down the centre of each blue stripe. Put a little bit of white at the top of each nail too, like the bottom of a cloud.

Paint over the nails with the clear to seal in the design and, finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.
