NOTD- Spring flowers

Hello lovelies!

Even though the lovely spring weather has gone away for the Easter weekend, I've made sure my nails still look all spring like and Eastery (I'm aware this probably isn't a word :p) by painting them with a floral pattern. This is the first time I've tried doing this so I think I'll get better with a bit more practise, but I've had quite a few compliments for them so I thought I'd show you what they look like and how to create them yourself...


To create these floral nails I first painted two base coats of natural collection's 'sugar mouse', then created little splodges using the end of the brush of Barry M's 'bright pink'. I then waited for the splodges to dry a little bit and dipped a cocktail stick in Barry M's 'strawberry ice cream' and swirled it round in the splodges. I repeated this step but using natural collection's 'nail tip whitener' and finished the flowers by dipping a cocktail stick in Barry M's 'mint green' and using it to dabble on little leaves either side of the flowers...


...and voila- super easy floral nails perfect for spring and the Easter weekend!  
Do you like my floral nails? Do you know any other techniques for creating easy flower nail art? 
I'm just spending the day lazing around recovering from my night out in town which was lots of fun, then eating a very yummy 3 course Easter dinner cooked by my lovely mummy later, this is the life hahaa

I hope you're all having a great Easter weekend and please do let me know if you try out these nails!
Love Meg
