For today’s lazy nail art, let’s learn one of the basics: bows!
You will need:
So the basic shape of a bow is quite easy. Paint your base colour and allow it to dry. Paint a small triangle to make the first half of the bow.  Paint another small triangle on the other side of it.  Join the two triangles with a little dot in the middle.  Using a darker shade, add two little lines on either side of the centre dot. These represent the folds in the fabric.  Then add a few highlights in white around the edges and one on the centre dot.  Once it’s all dry, give it a top coat! Now you’ve got the basics, you can play around with placement. Here are a couple of ideas to get you started!  My favourite is the one on my ring finger below with one bow placed at the cuticle.  |
