Cath Kidston On My Nails

Hi beauties. I'm pretty sure that those of you who are fans of Cath Kidston will have seen Cath Kidston inspired nail art, and seeing as I am a fan I just had to give it ago. If any of you follow Beth over at Bird Words Blog will have seen that she did a Cath Kidston design nail art post and I was so inspired at how easy she made it look that I wanted to see if I could create the look in my nails!.. Ok I basically just copied her exact design and mine are no way near as good. What can I say Beth your an inspiration! So please go check out her blog girlies, as its amazing!

So if you might be thinking 'this design looks a bit tricky' which were my thoughts exactly. But once you break it down step by step its really quite simple and I think you could atempt this even if your a newbie at nail art! 

First of all you want to pick out your nail polishes, you will need a colour for the background, I've chosen the classic Cath Kidston blue, but a pink would look lovely with this design! A white for the clouds and dots, a pretty colour for the flowers and a green for the leaves.

Green - Barry M in Mint Green | Blue - Barry M in Blueberry Ice Cream | Pink - O.P.I in That's Berry Darling | White - Rio Profesional Nail Art Pen (Review Here) 

Start by painting your nails with your chosen base colour, I've done two coats with the Barry M in Blueberry Ice Cream

Once it has dried you want to draw little white clouds in opposite corners of your nails. I've used the Rio Profesional Nail Art pen for accuracy but you can achieve this with a normal nail polish brush or use a bobby pin opened out, draw the outline and fill it in with white polish.

When the white has dried you will want to add a little blob of colour in the middle of each cloud as this will be make up the flower. I've kept the design of my flower really simple, but if you check out Beth's Blog she has done advanced nail art flowers which are brilliant! 

Once your flowers have dried you can add another blob of green each side to create the leaves.

Then when your flowers are all dry, you will want to get your white polish and use your bobby pin or nail art pen to create little white dots that will outline around the clouds. 

Finish with a top coat to add shine and keep the chips at bay and you and your Cath Kidston nails are ready to go.
