Even though its been a few centuries after England colonized North America, a modern British invasion is flooding the U.S.! With One Direction making teen girls swoon, Adele singing heartbreaking ballads, Andrew Garfield swinging on the silver screen as Spiderman, and the world's most important sports event taking place in London, the Union Jack has become a fashion craze here in the states. Clothes, nails, backpacks, and even duct tape are proudly displaying the British spirit!

The Nails
I decided to jump on the badwagon and set my inner Brit free! These awesome nails were done courtesy of my aunt.
What you Will Need:
*Dark blue polish (I used NYC polich)
*Deep red polish
*White nail art polish (the thin tip brush makes it easier to create clean thin stripes)
*Clear top coat polish
Step 1
Paint all your fingers with 2 or 3 coats of deep blue polish (the number of coats depends on how thick or thin your specific polish is).
Step 2
Once your polish dries, use the red polish to draw a cross in the middle of your nail.
Step 3
Use your white art nail polish to thinly outline your red cross.
Step 4 (Optional)
This next step is for you Doctor Who fans out there! As you can see, my ring finger has the world famous Matt Smith 11th Doctor Tux bow tie combo. Paint your nail white then take a sparkly grey polish and paint the tux (make diagonal swipes). Next, draw the bow tie with a red art polish. Lastly, using a black art polish or toothpick, outline the tux and bow tie and dot the buttons.
Step 5
Seal your awesome new nails with a few coats of clear top coat.
Enjoy your British/Doctor Who manicure! :D
