Union Jack Nails

There's nothing like Union Jack nails when you're feeling patriotic!

I did these nails for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee earlier this year. They did take me a very long time but it was the first time I'd done anything like this. 

For the base, paint your nails blue or navy. When they're dry you can add the white detail with a fine nail art brush. It's simply a cross like the England flag and a cross like the Scottish flag on top. When this has dried add on the red also with a fine nail art brush; a cross and the diagonals.

What I love about this design is that it looks quite complicated but is actually really straightforward. I received many compliments on these nails.
