Camouflage Nails

 

 

I decided to try this look after a friend's son asked to see some Camouflage nails.  I did a quick Google for inspiration and decided it should be simple enough so gave it a go.

 

I think the most important part of this look is choosing the right colours, obviously camouflage colours vary depending on environment and who is wearing them but there is a general look and set of colours which seem most common so I decided to stick with them for my first attempt.

 

I originally chose 4 polishes but after applying the first three I though it was best to stop, here's what I used:

 



Kiko 349, Kiko 347, No7 Beanie 20 and Bourjois Noir de Chine 17 which didn't make the cut.



First I applied the lightest shade, Kiko 349, all over my nails then I used a dotting tool to add random blobs of Kiko 347 over the top, it's surprisingly hard to get blobs to look totally random, I found.

 

 

Next I added No7 Beanie over the top, some of the blobs I overlapped others I just put beside the darker green shade, again, it seemed hard to make it look random and stop myself making a pattern.

 

 

At this stage I was going to add further black blobs on top but I decided it might be a step too far and rather than ruin the effect I had already created I decided to go with a 'less is more' mantra and just tidy up what I had so far.

 

Here are some final picture, post clean up:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out, I quite fancy trying the blue version at some point, despite not really knowing why or where you would use blue camouflage material.
