A variety of colours! At least 6 different shades. I went for mostly pastels from Barry M! A striping brush - I used a Model's Own nail art pen which has a dotting tool and a striping brush giving you the best of both worlds 2 thin nail art brushes, one should be square similar to an eyeliner brush. I got mine here from eBay

Step 1









Select your two key colours. we went for three fingers in pastel blue and two in pastel pink.





Step 2









Using your striping brush, paint thin vertical lines across the pink nails to create a candy stripe effect. I'd recommend using the side of the brush as it's thinner and as you can see from the picture, Frankie has tiny nails so it worked perfectly.





Step 3









The roses are a lot easier than they look. I promise! Using your square brush, all you need to do is blob in random places! We used the light peach for this one.





Step 4









Using the thinner brush, 'higlight' the roses using a darker shade of pink. Again, this is very easy, you don't need to overload the brush with paint. Just cover the tip and do little squiggles in the middle of the roses





Step 5









More blobbing! using the thin brush again, dab a dark shade of green around at least two edges of your roses.





Setp 6









As you did previously with the middle of the roses. Use a lighter green and either line or dot your 'leaves' to create a more 3d effect. Again, you need to use your thinnest brush. AND YOU'RE DONE! Just don't forget a top coat...









Frankie loved hers and even had a go on me to get some practice in!

I've been having a lot of compliments about my nails recently as I've been experimenting a lot more. I bought a bunch of new tools off eBay and have been trying a different design every week! Got to love nail art Sundays.Yesterday my friend Frankie came over and she loves my nail art so I thought I'd teach her how to do it. She is my wonderful hand model for this step by step tutorial :-)You will need:
