So I know I've been doing a lot of blog posts on nails recently, but I will be doing some posts on different things soon. I've been trying out a couple of different products so I'll get doing a couple of reviews on them, and hopefully get them up on here soon. However, for now, this is another nail tutorial.
I know I did Union Jack nails only a little while ago for the Queen's Jubilee, but it's currently the Olympics, so I thought I'd get my GB nails out in support! The Olympics are being held in London this year, and I've really, really enjoyed watching them so far. I know there's only a couple of days left, but that's still enough time to show your final support for Team GB!
Here's a step by step guide to your Team GB nails:
1. Paint your nails blue. I chose Rimmel I <3 Lasting Finish in 198 Azure, as it's a good colour and a good quality nail polish, but any blue in your collection will do.
2. Take a thin nail brush, (I took a brush from an old nail varnish, cleaned it, then cut it down), or alternatively you could use a paintbrush, and dip it into some white nail varnish. I chose to use NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel in 134 French White Tip. Then paint a cross onto your nails.
3. Next you need to take your brush and white nail paint again and add a diagonal cross to the cross you've already made.
4. Then, you will need to clean your brush, or take another one, and dip it into some red nail paint and paint a thinner cross on top of the first white cross. I chose to use Revlon Colorstay Longwear Nail Enamel in 120 Red Carpet but any red would do.
5. Now, to finish it off, you need to take your thin brush and red nail paint again, and add in diagonal lines onto the white. In the actual Union Jack flag the red diagonals are not joined to the red cross in the centre, so if you can keep them separate then that would be the ideal, however it doesn't really matter too much if they do join.
And there you have it - Union Jack nails, all ready to show your support for Team GB!
I hope you've enjoyed this small nail design and tutorial, and get cracking on your Team GB nails! Enjoy the rest of the Olympics, and let's hope Team GB can finish with a bang!
