Anchor Nail Art Part II Tutorial

As you might recall, yesterday I posted these nails.

As I mentioned, I did make a pictorial for the anchor, so here we go.

I used this picture for reference. You may find it helpful to look at this while doing your nails.

STEP ONE:

Paint a base color. I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls

STEP TWO:

Using a thin brush, paint almost a cross shape. This is the basis of your anchor.

STEP THREE:

Add the circles at the top and the hooky things at the bottom. 

(wow that was the worst explanation ever. Hopefully you know what I mean)

STEP FOUR:

Paint thin lines in to add shading. They don't have to be perfect.

STEP FIVE:

This is where I begin to paint the roses. It's difficult to show, so this video is extremely helpful and is exactly how I do my roses.

STEP SIX:

Paint leaves with a light green.

I believe the video in the link above shows how to do leaves as well, but I included them in my steps anyway.

STEP SEVEN:

Paint darker green inside the leaves.

STEP EIGHT:

Add the different colors into the roses (again watch the video, I'm serious) 

Topcoat your design and you're done!

I really hope you guys try this! 

Here's a simple version:
