Remembrance Poppy

11th hour. 11th day. 11th month.

 

 

Remember.

 

 

You will need:
Black Nail Polish
Thin Black and Red Nail Art Pen
(Bought off ebay or from Argos or some drug stores)
Clear Nail Polish.
&
A Steady Hand!

(In the photos i have used fake nails as it is easier to paint them and glue them on later. However, the style is easy to complete on your own finger nails.)

 

 

First, paint your nails black.

 

 

Next, once the black polish is dry, take the red nail art pen and draw 2 lines connecting in the middle of the nail to create a triangle on one side.

 

 

Carry out the second step 3 times more, until there are 4 triangles. These are the petals.

 

 

Fill in each of the petals with the red nail are pen. Then, take the black nail polish and put a dot in the middle. 

 

 

Next, take the black nail art pen and outline the petals as shown in picture 5.

 

Put a layer of clear nail varnish over the top to lower the risk of chips, but also to give the finishing product a glossy shine.

If you don't want to paint all of your nails in the same way, i find it also looks good on just the thumb or ring finger or both.


Finally take the time to remember those who fought for us and our future. Our real life superheroes.
