Floral Nail Art

Hello Readers:

Gosh it has been a busy week. I almost didn't have a chance to work on this post, but I made it! Here is my final nail art before going back to more swatches (though more nail art is in the works). I've been wanting to try my hand at doing at flowers using my dotting tools so I decided to give it a shot. In this mani I used Delush's "Make Me Blush", Darling Diva Polish's "Cotton Candy Hangover" and "Violets Are Blue" and "Green Diamond".

 

 

I used "Make Me Blush" as my base for this mani, and used "Cotton Candy Hangover", "Violets Are Blue", and "Green Diamond" to make up the flowers. My mani is far from perfect but I still think its super cute for my first try. I'm going to watch some more videos to get a better gist of the technique used for flowers using dotting tools.

 

I'll definitely be trying this technique out again! Along with some other ones that I've recently discovered on youtube (thank you youtube and all you wonderful nail artists out there!)

 

Until next time.

Spring Is Here Nail Art

Hello Readers:

Since I had so many posts involving the Picture Polish LE (limited edition) polishes that for the next few posts I'm going to be showing just nail art.

Today's nail art is a mixture of stamping and free hand spring themed nail art and includes the following polishes: Lucky 13 Lacquer's "Mist & Shadow, Cloud & Shade", Darling Diva Polish's "Green Diamond" & "Rose Diamond", Delush Polish's "Make Me Blush", Above The Curve's "Happy Holidays (2013) mini", and Piggy Paint's "Tip of the Iceberg". Stamping plates used were: "MASH-28", "MASH-32", "MASH-41".

 

 

I stamped on the ladybug, butterfly, and dragonfly. I freehanded the grass and clouds. I love the spring theme, but wish I had other bright colors to have used. I originally planned on the butterfly being orange but the orange didn't show up at all so I went with the pink. Luckily, I have brighter colors on the way.

 

Otherwise I think this turned out great, especially the clouds I really loved that they turned out so well for my first try. Are there any spring mani's you'd like to see me try?

 

Until next time.
