notd | patriotic

Just in time for the end of the Olympics I decided to whip out my nail polishes and get patriotic!
To create the Union Flag I basically followed this YouTube video, expect I used a few of the nail art tools that I showed in this post to make achieving the straight lines a bit easier, although as you can see from the close-up photo it still isn't as perfect as I would've liked!
The navy nail polish took two coats for it to become completely opaque.

  1. Great nails, I like the look of these it's kind of got a retro feel to it :-)
