Cath Kidtson Nails Using Barry M

Hey Readers! 

So, this tutorial is an old one from my old account, but it's my all time favourite and proved quite popular so I'm reposting here for all new followers!

You Will Need-

A base and top coat. I'm using Barry M's All in one.

A white nail varnish.

A blue nail varnish.

A pink nail varnish.

A peach nail varnish.

A green nail art pen. (Or just a green nail varnish and a brush or cuticle stick.)

Barry M's white nail art pen.

A striping brush.

A slightly smaller but thicker brush. (As you can see in the picture.)

Step 1- After applying your base coat and allowed to dry, you need to apply your blue coat. One or two, depending on the quality of the nail varnish and your own preference.

Step 2- First we will do the stripes and flowers. I did these on my little finger, thumb and middle finger. Dip your striping brush into your white nail varnish and starting at the cuticle side, place the tip of the brush onto your nail and drag it up to the tip to create a line. Repeat this several times as required depending on the width of your nail.

Step 3- To create your flowers, we start by putting a few dots of peach nail varnish onto your nail. These can vary in size and number.

Step 4- Now we need to create the effect of petals and we do this by taking our other brush, dipping it into the pink and simply making marks over the peach as you think petals would look. You can see how  have done this in the pictures.

Step 5- The final step of this part of the design is to take your green nail art pen and create leaves. I did this by making small 'v' like shapes on the edge of the flowers.

Step 6- Now for the easy bit! Using your nail art pen, create a line of dots up the centre of your nail. Then using this line as your template, compete the rest of the dots. Each line of dots should be roughly in the centre of the line of dots before them so if you were to connect the dots, you would have a diamond shape. Once this is done, you can cover your nails in your top coat and voila! There you have it!

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoy this tutorial and  if anyone does attempt it, I'd love to see your results!
