Instructions

  1. I used a white base coat so that i gave the colours the best chance of being bright.

  2. Small 100 4694 1298232635

    Then i covered the skin around my nail leaving the nail exposed.

  3. Small 100 4698 1298232900

    Then i carefully dripped some nail varnish in to the water. Dont to it roughly or from too high up or it will sink. When to droplet expands do the same with another colour in the centre. Keep going till yu have a few lovely rings.

  4. Now drag the needle quickly and smoothly through the varnish creating a pattern. It will take a little while to get good at this but its fun. (Sorry no picture of this step)

  5. Now dip your finger in to the prettiest ared of the swirled varnish. leave you finger under the water and wait. . . .. a few secs Then use the cotton buds (q-tips) to gather up the varnish left on the water.
