The Vintage Flower

Hellooooo,

A few months ago I was really into nail art but then work got on top of me and I had no time to do it. HOWEVER, that is no longer the situation! So I decided to do a vintage floral pattern. This is just going to be a quick step by step in case you fancy trying it! 
  

The finished nail!
NAIL VARNISH:

Natural Collection-White/No7-Pinky Pure/Barry M-Raspberry /17-Juicy/Sally Hanson Mega Shine Top Coat

TOOLS: 
Dotting Tool/Paint Brush

STEP ONE:



Because my nails never grow past a certain length I have used acrylic ones for this. But if yours are lovely and long, you won't need them! 

STEP TWO:


Do two coats of your base colour and leave to dry.

STEP THREE:




Using your baby pink (or the lighter shade of your two colours) and with the dotting tool, dot on the colour in flower shaped blobs randomly over the nail leaving enough space between them to do the next step.

 STEP FOUR:


Again, with a clean dotting tool dab on the the green on either side of the flowers as if they are the leaves.

STEP FIVE:


With a thin brush, add detail on to the flowers in the darker shade. Finally, add a top coat!

Thanks for looking! 
If you have any requests, just leave a comment below! :) If anyone tries it, tweet me or link me the picture, I would love to see them!
