Blue me Away



I had the joy of having the day off today.  After some yard work I decided it was time to change my nails up. I wanted to do something that would match my navy blue work shirt.  So, I took the obvious choice of . . . navy blue haha.  The flowers turned out better than I expected and I was able to use my pearls again!!!!! Yyyeeeeeee!!!

First: paint ring fingers white.  When dry cover with clear coat.  (This prevents the blue flowers from running when final clear coat is added)
Second: paint remaining nails blue
Third: (one at a time) place a drop of blue polish on white nail
Fourth: (quickly) using fine paintbrush, drag polish outward to create petals.  Don't worry about the flowers not looking perfect.  The smudgy-er they look the better the overall effect. 
Fifth: When completely dry paint with clear coat.  Add pearls if you like. The design works w/o them too. Then cover with another layer of clear coat.
