Happy Pancake Day Love from my MUA nails…

Pancake Day also known as Shrove Tuesday in Britain. It is called Pancake Day because it is the day traditionally for eating pancakes as pancake recipes were a way to use up any stocks of milk, butter and eggs during the abstinence of Lent and in my eyes pancake day is a chance to get inspired to create fun Pancake day inspired nails with MUAJ

French crêpes, popular in France, Belgium and Switzerland. They are thin pancakes and are usually served with a large amount of sweet or savoury fillings, ranging from fruit or ice cream. So I have created two different nail looks today from my favourite Pancake toppings – Chocolate and Strawberries! Yummy. Now you can create your very own Pancake inspired nails with MUA either with your favourite toppings or using my toppings for inspiration.

Get the Pancake look 'Strawberry Toppings' :

Step 1:

Apply Shade 'U & I' £2 to all your finger nails. Let this dry completely.

Step 2:

Now gently apply a red blob with Shade 8, £1 with a steady hand- try your best to create a strawberry shape, or you can use a thin art brush. Let this dry completely.

Step 3:

Now using a thin art brush or a sharpened pencil dip your tool into U & I nail varnish and create strawberry pips onto your red design.Let this dry completely.

Step 4:

Finally using a thin art brush dip your brush into Shade 13 and create fine detail to complete your strawberry design. Let this dry completely.

Step 5:

To keep your design looking shiny, apply Shade 17- £1 clear top coat to all your fingernails.

Get the Pancake look 'Chocolate Toppings':

Step 1:

Using Shades 8, 16, 21- £1 each and U & I - £2 , apply these to your finger nails. Let this dry completely.

Step 2:

Using a thin art brush dip this into Shade 21 nail varnish and create a dripping chocolate effect on all finger nails. Let this dry completely .

Step 3:

To keep your design looking shiny, apply Shade 17- £1 clear top coat to all your fingernails.
