  2. Paint a flower in the edge of the nail.
  3. Paint anther flower under it.
  4. Outline in white.
  5. Paint a purple center on the pink flower and vice versa.

30 Days of French Twist, day 19- Stamped french

Today I have a stamped french manicure.You'll have to excuse my poor level of stamping. I stamp very rarely, only when I am too lazy to do nail art and don't feel like a one color manicure. I also know that there are a lot of people who can't do nail art. I don't want anyone to feel left out :D. You can use basically any stamping plate. Preferably it would have flowers butterflies stars etc.

  1. Paint nail black
  2. Paint a cloth pattern (do thin horizontal stripes, and cover them with some vertical ones)
  3. Stamp on some black flowers.
  4. Stamp some white flowers.
  5. Add a bit of glitter.(optional)
  6. Top coat+enjoy
