Poppy Nails

This is a design I painted today with poppy flowers. The base colour I used was My Boyfriend Scales Walls by OPI which is an off white and the red polish for the poppies was Love My Team from Wah London.


How to get this look:

Apply a base coat and then two coats of white polish.

Draw the poppies with a nail art brush by painting four V shapes in a circle with the point of the V's at the centre. This creates your four petals - fill in each V with red polish so you have a full poppy flower.

Using a lighter shade of red polish apply a dot of polish to a sponge and then dab on the centre of each poppy to give it a two tone effect.

Using a black nail art pen or dotting tool draw lots of small black dots in the middle of each poppy.

With green nail polish and a nail art brush draw wavy lines coming out from each poppy.

Finish by applying a top coat.
