Every year in November on the build up to Remembrance Sunday I make sure I
buy a poppy to raise money for The Royal British Legion. The money raised nationwide helps to raise awareness
of those who have bravely fought for their country in the past as well as those
who still do today.
I took this little piece of information off The Royal British Legion
website:
“The poppy is an instantly recognisable symbol of respect for those
who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice in conflicts past and present. As the
nation’s custodian of Remembrance, the Legion is committed to helping everyone
understand the importance of Remembrance, so those sacrifices are never
forgotten.“
I have my poppy already, but I wanted to do a little something different
this year which is why I came up with my poppy nail design.
I found them really easy to do folks so I urge you all to have a go and show
your support this weekend . I took four colours from my mountain of Barry M nail polishes.
To create this look I used Barry M ‘Bright Red, Black, Matt White and Spring Green’.
I painted all of my nails white for my base colour; I reckon however that this look would look quite good with a black base coat. Once your base colour is dry you can then roughly paint on a poppy shape. Don’t worry about being neat, I find that with these types of nail designs the unorganised look of the design is a nice touch.
Once the flower is dry add a black dot into the middle and then a few green leaves. That is all there is to it, you now have poppy nails! Of course, remember to put a nice clear top coat on top so that your nail design is more protected.
What do you think?
