military nails with cross

This week we're hitting some of the most important fashion trends that we have seen and the fall of the military trend and abundance of crosses! We were inspired by these pieces of Lulu's which are below:

To make these beautiful nails with the military trend, you will need:

• Army green colour nail polish
• Fast dry top coat
• Gold microbeads
• A toothpick

Start with a few coats of your base colour. Apply a fresh coat just before starting with the next steps– the fresh coat of polish will act as an adhesive for your beads!

Now take your toothpick and dip the tip into your clear nail polish. Then touch the tip of the toothpick to a single microbead to pick it up.

Then simply touch the toothpick to the spot you want to stick it to on your nail. Your tacky nail polish will grab it off of the toothpick!

Continue picking up and touching each bead to your nail to form a cross pattern. If crosses aren’t for you, check out this tutorial for microbead studded nails.

Add a top coat to seal in the beads and wait for your nails to dry completely so that the beads don’t move around, and you’re all done!
