These nails are ideal for the Bank Holiday

These nails are ideal for the Bank Holiday

We're getting ready for the August bank holiday and of course that means that the world-famous Notting Hill Carnival will be taking place. 

Drummers and dancers covert with Caribbean culture, bringing West London alive with an abundance of music.

If you're wanting to get in the spirit of the day, we have the perfect way. Carnival-inspired nail art

With the help of the Max Factor beauty team we have two nail art designs that will take a steady hand, but will look amazing once they're done. 

Take a look at the tips below and send us your images of your attempts on Twitter to @Femalefirst_UK 

Jamaican Fever

Apply two coats of Max Colour Effect Mini Nail Polish in Cactus Green over the whole nail

With a fine nail brush, fill in two outside triangles with Glossfinity Nail Polish in Blackout

Draw a cross shape across the nail using Max Colour Effect Nail Polish in Mellow Yellow using a fine brush

Finish with a coat of Glossfinity Nail Polish Top Coat

Hyper Tropical

Start by applying two coats of Max Colour Effect Nail Polish in Mellow Yellow over the whole nail

Next, before the final coat is completely dry, apply Glossfinity Nail Polish in Flushed Rose to the bottom third of your nail, smudging slightly into the yellow with a small nail sponge to create an ombre effect

To create the palm tree design, apply Glossfinity Nail Polish in Blackout using a small nail brush to paint on the silhouette outline

Finish off with a slick of Glossfinity Nail Polish Top Coat
