These designs are taken from the Wah Nails Book of Nail Art, which I was very lucky to get for Christmas. It's an exact copy, apart from the colours, so I take exactly zero credit for the design!
I've been putting off trying to do this flowery look for a while, basically because it looks really hard, but the step by step in the book made it look kind of do-able and actually it turned out to be one of the quickest and easiest manicures that I've ever done.
If, like me, you thought "that looks way to hard", please give it a go because this type of nail art doesn't have to be perfect, in fact it looks more realistic if the flower aren't exactly circular and if the detailing isn't completely uniform.
The technique was so simple - I painted the pale pink base coat and then added three different coloured blobs, just using the end of the nail varnish brush. I purposely tried to make the blobs irregular shapes. Then I just created random lines around the blobs with a black nail art pen, trying to make them look rose like.
This was my first go at using the nail art pen and I was quite impressed with the consistency and precision.
