Simple Cath Kidston Inspired Nail Design [Tutorial]

Dear readers,

I am a sucker for flower printed things - and I especially love Cath Kidston designs (who doesn't, anyway).

I've always wanted to try and do a nail design inspired by one of her designs, and today I finally did it on one of my lovely friends/client Gaby ^.^

I was so excited about doing the design that I though that I should do a nail tutorial and show my lovely readers how easy it is to do them.

This is how they turned out:

What you'll need:

• Baby blue nail polish
• Baby pink nail polish
• A slightly darker pink nail polish
• Dark green nail polish 
• White nail polish
• Top coat
• A striper brush
• Dotting tool

Method:

Start by painting 2 coats of light blue polish on your little finger, middle finger and thumb.

Using a white striper polish or normal polish with a small brush, draw straight lines on your index fingers and white dots on the other pink nail (the fourth one) like so;

Using the same dark pink polish that you used to paint the index and fourth finger, draw 3 'circular' (or largish) messy dots on each light blue nail;

Then, using the lightest pink shade and a small brush, draw 2 tiny semicircular lines on the inside of each dark pattern that you've just created. This will serve as a highlight and will make the rose appear more lifelike and it will stand out more;

Use the dark green polish and a small brush to draw on tiny leaves on each rose;

Apply some clear top coat, and you're done!
