British Flag Nails
Supplies
- Blue nail polish
- White nail polish
- Red Nail Polish
- Base/top coat
- striper brush
Step 1
Apply a quality base coat (OPI, China Glaze, Revlon, Essie...) to all of your nails.
I'm using a Revlon base coat. This is essential to protecting your nails from staining.
Make sure your nails are fully dry before proceeding.
Step 2
Paint all of your nails a blue of your choice. The flag is originally dark blue,
but I'm choosing a very pretty light blue, 4860-04 Blue Me Away! by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear.
Step 3
Now we are going to create the double cross white shape with a white polish and a striper polish.
If you don't have one, you could use a toothpick but it will turn out messy, and a white striper is a great investment,
you will use it a lot... So, I'm using a white striper, NA901 White by L.A. Colors Art Deco.
Do NOT go on to the next step unless the crosses are entirely dry as it will bleed.
Step 4
Use a red polish and a striper or a toothpick to paint the red double cross shape on top of the white.
Leave some white around the red. I'm using 105 Salsa by China Glaze and borrowing a striper brush from a pink striper.
Now, apply a top coat onto your nails. Rock your sweet nails, and when people ask whether you did those yourself,
lift your head up high and say YES!
