I know, I know, it's late in the season for Cherry Blossoms, but it is never too late for Arizona Ice Tea style Cherry Blossoms....am I right?! lol
I love flowers and flower manicures, so I needed to jump on this and paint them even if it was delayed. Please ignore my cuticles, I have an abnormal fear of pushing them back and refuse to.
Colors Used:
- Funky Fingers - Mrs. Mint
- Sinful Colors - Nirvana
- Sinful Colors - Cream Pink
- Funky Fingers - Queen Cupcake
- Sinful Colors - Black on Black
Difficulty Scale of 1 to 10, this manicure was a 4. The most difficult and annoying part was drawing on the branches, then adding the little black dots when it was all done. Both of those were done with a toothpick. The hardest part about the branches, I had to make sure there was enough room for the cherry blossoms so they did not form one huge blob. The cherry blossoms were simple, just added with a dotting tool. When the cream pink dried, I added Queen Cupcake. Finished with a topcoat, and viola!
What do you think? Do you have a favorite flower?? Want me to attempt to put it on my nail?? Come on people! I love a challenge!!!!

ReplyDeleteHahahaha... I think you need to add a +5 handicap for me!
1) The Ask Another Girl comment was by me... oops. Wrong Google account!
ReplyDelete2) I'm scared to push back my cuticles too!!! I do it, but I cringe the whole time. It just feels very unnatural to me (maybe cause it IS).
Love this!!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute! Turned out great, I've never tried cherry blossoms before but I always love the look of them as a mani.
ReplyDeleteThese are soo sooooooo cute! I love them, and when you explained them they actually sound a lot easier than they look! I think I could MAYYYYYBE do this! haha.
ReplyDeleteNow- about your cuticles, my friend. Why are you (and Ave apparently!!!) scared of pushing back your cuticles?! You don't have to cut them- just rub in some good cuticle cream/oil and push em back a little with an orange wood stick or even just your other hand. Also- you can just use some cuticle remover cream or gel. All you do is put it on, wait a minute, push em back and little, kinda rub on them so it rubs off the dead skin and ta-daaaa! They're gone! :) I can't stand NOT pushing back my cuticles, and honestly I cut mine occasionally just cuz I hate when they grow out. I'm bad. :(
Oh and I forgot to say- I think some huge Georgia O'Keefe style daisies would be awesome! But... gnome nails first. ;p
