Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Collection 2000 5 Fire Engine Red
• Collection 2000 103 French White
• Color Show 749 Electric Yellow
• Miss Beauty 355 Neon Green
• Kiko 041 Brown
• Barry M Blackjack
• Essence 01 Absolute Pure
• Masking tape
• Small dotting tool
• Small paintbrush

Step 1

Stick the tape over most your nail and paint the tip red. Remove the tape immediately to stop it pulling the varnish off.

Step 2

Using a small dotting tool, or a cocktail stick, paint white dots on the red section of your nail.

Step 3

Using the paintbrush, paint 4 teardrops all pointing towards the centre of the flower, slightly offset to one side of your nail.

Step 4

Using the dotting tool add a yellow dot in the centre of the petals.

Step 5

I didn't have the right shade of green so I mixed together some of the lime green and the brown on a palette until I had the right shade. Then, using the paintbrush, create a swipe and two teardrops. You may need to do two or more coats to get it thick enough.

Step 6

Using the paintbrush, draw a semicircle above the flower on your ring fingers.

Step 7

Add tiny dots to the semicircle.

Step 8

Using the paintbrush, add a black dot to the same side as the leaves. Then add two curls going up, for the antennae. Also, add a top coat to smooth it out and give it a nice shine.

I used:

• Miss Beauty 357 Rouge
• Color Show 677 Black Out
• Rimmel 430 Porcelain
• Colour Cosmetic 07 Top Coat
• Small dotting tool

Step 1

Paint your nails red. You may wish to use a white base coat to prevent your nails from staining.

Step 2

Paint the tips of your nails black. Don't worry about being too precise with this step.

Step 3

With the paintbrush, paint a thin black line down the centre of each nail.

Step 4

Using the dotting tool, put three black dots on either side of the line.

Step 5

Using the dotting tool, add two white dots to each nail, as eyes.

Step 6

Using the dotting tool, add a smaller black dot to the centre of the eyes.

Finally, cover your nails in the top coat to protect them.
