Tuesday Tip: DIY Daisy Nail Art!

I've been super inspired by daisy prints since acquiring my fabulous Republic jeans and seeing the abundance of daisy prints at the Motel blogger event the other day! And what do we do when we love a trend but for hygiene reasons can't wear the same item of clothing every single day? All together now: Make it nail art! 

(Clockwise: Motel playsuit, Oasis dress, Motel crop top, Republic jeans, Topshop bralet, H! by Henry holland dress)

My manicure of the moment is so perfect for Spring and has received loads of comments from people thinking they're nail stickers! Nope, this is all real! It's a really simple look to create and hopefully you'll get the gist from my little graphic, but if not, here's how to get the look:

✿ Start with a base colour - I used blue to match my Republic daisy jeans!

✿ Using yellow nail polish, dot a few dots on the nail, leaving enough space between each for the petals

✿ Using white nail polish, dot around the yellow spots to create petals

✿ Yellow polish is usually a bit thin, so once you’ve done the petals, go back and do another blob of yellow in the middle

✿ Finish with a slick of topcoat to seal the design in and make it look like one smooth layer (you can see how bumpy it looks without a topcoat in the bottom-right picture above!)

What do you think of the daisy nail look?
