For this design I painted my nails lilac and then used a silver glitter nail art pen for the flowers. To do the flowers I started off by doing a dot in the middle to work from then drew four petals around the dot. I did a couple of these flowers on my accent nails and only one big flower coming off the nail in different positions on different nails for the rest of my nails.
I'm a 18 year old girl from England and I just love painting nails. I have an instagram, twitter and facebook page, all of them are carysdoesnails. Please follow/like them, it makes me happy! :)

Studs and Polka Dots
I used Nails Inc Big Apple Red as my base colour for this design then used a big dotting tool and black polish to create polka dots on all my nails except my ring finger. On my ring finger after I painted my nails red and let that dry I painted over it with a thick coat of clear nail varnish then used a dotting tool with a little bit of clear polish on it to pick up and place the gold round studs only nails. I finished of with a fast drying topcoat on all my nails and made sure it was a thick coat on my ring finger to secure the studs!

Union Jack Nails
For this design I used my Maybelline vintage leather polishes in Turquoise Temptation and Red Grained. I used Red Grained on my ring finger and Turquoise Temptation on the rest of my nails. I also used 2 Andrea Fullerton stripers, a silver one and a glitter one. I used the glitter one on my ring finger and the silver one on the rest of my fingers. I used these to draw out the Union Jack then finished off with a topcoat.
My silver striper is very old and dried up (I should really get a new one), so it's not left a great finish to this mani, very bumpy and uneven not nice and smooth like it should be.

Pink and gold studs
This design is very simple and easy. I just painted my nails in Milan by No. 7 then used a topcoat to secure on the gold studs (from eBay).
