Go on England!!!

Ok I know it's been saw while but I have been so busy with work and holidays and everything but I'm ready to blog again!!! 
I know the World Cup seems like ages ago (and England didn't do all that great) but you still have to be patriotic and support your country so here are my supportive gland flag nails!!! 


There are two ways of doing this design but I will explain both ways :) 
As always I started with my base coat and then two coats of my colour coat which of course has to be red for England!!


Once those are all dry (especially your fourth finger) you can then start to do your England flag!! 


To do this I used just some black tape (which I found in a draw at home) you can use scotch tape or Sellotape or there are special nail art things to use but I find that this tape worked just as well. 



So to do the England flag, I cut out two strips of the same width and long enough to go across my nail and placed them onto my nail to create a cross. 


Once they are both on and stuck down well I painted over the nail including the tape in white.
Two coats are probably needed to do this. 

 

Now.... WAIT
you need to make sure that all the nail varnish has completely dried in order for you to take of the tape smoothly with a nice neat line 

That is one way to do it!!! The other way is pretty much the same but the other way round!! 


Paint the nails white... Let them dry then put two strips of tape on your nail and paint in bit in the middle... Let that dry completely then do the same the other way to create the cross! 

As always, once finished, complete with a top coat and there you go!!! England nails!!
