NOTD | Cute Clouds Nail Art

There are apparently ten main types of cloud from which all other types of cloud exist. The clouds you're about to see in this nail art design are an accurate representation of none of these. Despite using clouds both real and plastic for reference, this cute cloud nail bed designs turned out a little less than accurate (but hey, forecasts aren't always accurate, right..?)

Flat lay of a plastic cloud mirror and cloud nail art design



Easiest way to create this design is with a nail art pen (though it's probably no impossible to use a regular nail varnish brush if you have better skills than me, which isn't difficult). Paint two coats of your base colour(s) and wait for your nails to fully dry before attempting to draw the clouds (instructions my past self really ought to have obeyed). 

Starting at one edge of the nail bed, draw a loose outline for your cloud. If you're happy with it, start to fill it in - if you want the design to look fuller and fluffier, extend the outline until you're satisfied, then fill in and wait to dry.  Add a second coat to the cloud if looks a little transparent and if you're feeling real artsy, why not add some silver accents to create your very own silver lining?

(PS - the super cute cloud pin is from Oh So Cherished over on Not On The High Street)
