Water colour nails!


The nail blogs are back and with one that I really love though it is quite tricky! 
Water colour nails!!!


Now this is quite am messy nail design so I would advise putting scotch tape around your nail to avoid getting nail varnish on your finger (I didn't do it so don't worry if you don't have any, you can easily use nail varnish remover to tidy  it up!) 

Here we go!! 


To create this effect you will need a plastic cup filled with room temperature water (this temperature will allow the nail varnish to spread and merge in the water) 
You will also need a few different colours of nail varnish, the amount of colours you can use is totally up to you, I only used 3 here, pink, purple and yellow 



paint your nails white, this is like a base coat for your chosen colours to set on and show bold on your nails


Get the nail varnish and drop one blob of nail varnish in the centre of the water (it should spread out, if not then the water is not warm enough) 


Then add the next colour, aim the drop in the centre of the colour that is already in the water 


Keep adding your colours into the centre until you are satisfied with the amount of layers there are (don't take too long though because the nail varnish will start to set on the water) 


Next get a toothpick or a bobby pin and use it to swirl the nail varnish around to create a cool pattern 


Once you are happy with the pattern, stick your nail in the pattern and keep it there for about 20 seconds 

Once the nail vanish on the water is dry, use the bobby pin (or toothpick) to wipe up the nail varnish on the water 


Once that's done you can take out your nail and continue the process with all the other nails and once you are finished they will look something like this!!! 


Remove the any nail varnish that is on your fingers and there you have perfect water colour nail art!!!
