Snowflake nails

Hi guys,

Today I have another nail art look for you today. Recently I have been feeling super festive so I thought I'd do some pretty snowflake nails. 

I know I've done a couple of nail tutorials now, next week I'll be doing my everyday winter make up. 

Let's get on with it then!

These are the polishes I used for this look. On the left is my trusty Barry M nail art pen, I honestly don't know what I did before it! The the art club top coat. I have  an O.P.I nail laquer in either 'my very first knockwurst' (I think) and Barry M nail paint 264 pink iridescent glitter. 

The first thing to do is paint your nails with your base colour, I chose the O.P.I shade but this would look nice with any nude or pale pink. I used two coats to get an opaque effect. I then used two coats of the glitter. Because I always think one is never enough. 

Then let them dry completely! If you don't then it will be extremely difficult to draw the snowflakes on.

•chuck a Disney film on or something!• 

Now care fully add your snow flakes.

This is the easiest way to draw snowflakes: 

1. Draw a cross +

2. Draw an x on top (you should have a basic star shape). 

3. Add v shapes around the outside. Two for each arm of the snowflake. <<

Easy right! 

Remember every snowflake is unique, so if they aren't all uniform it's fine. I like to add small stars without the Vs to fill the gaps and small dots for snow.

Leave to dry for for a few minutes so the white doesn't streak then add your top coat. 

You should now have beautiful, shiny winters nails to get you in the mood for the festive season. 

Have an ace week!
