Inspired by some spring colours, here is a fun and creative design just
in time for March =] you can use a variety of flowers for this design.

Canadian Spirit

You will need:
- red, white, and black nail polishes (regular and/or special Konad nail polishes)
- image plate #m18 and m56
- a thin nail art polish in white

For the Olympic nail design,
You can choose to paint your nails in white or black as well.
You can also do the checkered tips in white to emphasize the
Canadian flag and make the design seem a bit more visible.

For the maple leaf, you can either draw/paint the leaf onto the nail
or you can use image plate #m31 (the two leaves) to imitate the design =]

Olympic 2010

This is such a lovely design inspired and created for the winter olympics!

If you don't already have french tips, use image plate #m19

You will need blue, red, green, yellow, black, and white
Use the "O" on image plate #m18 to create the rings and
follow the Olympic symbol's colours. You can have a picture
for reference if you are not sure or forgot the order.


For the colourful flames, you will need image plate #m62 (top left)

This Olympic nail design will take a bit of time, since you are painting
on different colours for each flame, but you can also paint the flame in
one colour instead of creating a gradient effect.

You can also use m20 or m59 for the snowflakes =]
