So my sister's toenails would look pretty while she was in agony having her first baby, I painted them thus…apparently lots of the nurses commented on them!

You Will Need (6 things)

  • 1 Clear Base Coat
  • 1 tsp Fairy Dust - or any yellow/gold glitter
  • 1 Yellow Nail Art Pen You could also use yellow nail polish and a toothpick/brush
  • 1 Pink Nail Polish
  • 1 Toothpick
  • 1 Nail Corrector Pen

Steps (8 steps, 900 minutes)

  1. 1

    Paint a clear base coat.

  2. 2

    Paint a bright pink coat. Use a nail corrector pen or cotton bud dipped in nail polish remover to tidy up around the nails.

  3. 3

    Allow to dry really well! Using a pen on not-well-dried nails means it's more likely to dig in and make a mess of your background colour.

  4. 4

    Use a yellow nail art pen to draw circles, some full and some partway off the nail. You can also use a brush or toothpick and yellow nail polish.

  5. 5

    Fill in the lemon segments with the nail art pen. (Use a toothpick to clear up any bleeding into adjacent segments.)

  6. 6

    Paint the ends of nails with clear varnish (best to do this one or two nails at a time).

  7. 7

    Take a small square-ended brush and load on lots of yellow Fairy Dust or any gold glitter.

  8. 8

    Finish with clear top coat for shine and protection. Should last a couple of weeks!
