Easy vintage flower nails

I've worn this nail look for about a week now and I have had so many compliments on it and so many people have asked me how I did it so I thought I'd make a blogpost about it. It looks really difficult but it's actually pretty easy to do. You don't even need loads of nail art equipment just 3 polishes and a toothpick! 

Step 1: paint your nails with two coats of a pale turquiose polish, I used accessorize green lagoon.
Step 2: once the blue has dried make 2 or 3 splodges (very technical I know, just very rough circles) with pale pink nail polish
Step 3: use a tooth pick to paint dark pink lines around the splodges and a dot in the centre of each splodge.
Step 4: use the tooth pick to paint green flicks that look like leaves from the edges of the flowers.
Step 5: once all the nail art is dry seal with a top coat.

Prom nails

For prom I wanted something sparkly but with a bit of nail art too. My dress is a teal colour so I made the flowers and spots match my dress but you could use any nail polish to make it match or contrast with your dress.

Step 1: paint nails with two coats of sparkly silver and wait to dry.
Step 2: Using a dotting tool paint 5 dots in the shape of a flower with the teal polish.
Step 3: Using the opposite end of the dotting tool paint approximately 5/10 blue dots equally spaced on the nai
Step 4: once the flower has dried use a smaller dotting tool to make a black spot in the centre of the flower.
Step 5: once dry finish with a top coat.
