But I had to stay true to my roots and since Ghana is my heart, I put the flag on my thumb.
Unfortunately, since this was just random - I didn't take pictures of the process. (I know, I know, I'm sorry)
So I'm going to try and do a picture-less step by step for y'all
What You Will Be Needing
Top Coat & Base Coat
A bright base colour - I used Models Own Coral Reef
For Ghana's Flag - I used Models Own Green Tea

Nail Art Pens
What You Need To Do
Apply your base coat and allow this to dry
Apply your chosen base colour and allow this to dry
So now take your nail art pen and draw 4 lines: one vertical, one horizontal and two diagonal to create a Union Jack pattern) (allow each line to dry a little before you begin a new line) and allow to dry.
Now that your Union Jack pattern is dry - take a nail art pen in a clashing colour and do the same thing on top of your Union Jack pattern.
Apply your top coat
and tad-dah you have your Union Jack nails!
Now for the Flag :)
Take any red nail polish and paint the whole nail and allow this to dry
Take a yellow nail art pen (or nail polish) and paint a horizontal stripe across your nail allow this to dry
Take a green nail art pen and do the same in the space left allow this to dry
For the finishing touch with a black nail art pen draw a star on the yellow stripe and allow to dry
:)
Apply topcoat
I hope this was clear, if not post a comment and I will try and explain
and again if I can do this, you can too :)
