The One With A Cute Little Floral Manicure
9:00:00 AMWell hello there, Polished World! I apologize for my lack of posting, but I've been slacking on all parts of my nails. Literally back to the swatches up until last night when I painted the most fun sunflower manicure. I've been dying to paint a sunflower design for the longest time, but work has consumed my life again that I haven't had the time. Last night I purposely made the time because I haven't been feeling myself without my nails done up all pretty. I'm sure glad I did because it also forced me to write this post and get more of my art out there.
Today's design is another design inspired by Pippy Polish. I swear, I found her Instagram and I've been beyond obsessed wanting to re-create every design. And as you know a few post back, I went on a spree about how much I have been loving doing these negative space designs, so it makes complete sense that I'm in love with her Instagram.
Let's take a look!
Colors Used:
- Sally Hansen - Blacky-O
- China Glaze - I Got a Blue Attitude
- OPI - Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet
- Sally Hansen - Wet My Thistle
- Black and White Acrylic
Let's take a moment and applaud the fact that I wrote out the polish colors in this post back when I painted the design. I've only been saying I need to do this for the past 3 years and never actually have.
The star polish of this manicure - China Glaze's I've Got a Blue Attitude. The most perfect blurple polish ever. That's right, blurple...a mixture of blue and purple. It applies perfectly in two coats and has such a shiny finish. I've been obsessed with this color this year using it non stop for pedicures with a holographic top coat. For this design though, there was no need for holographics as it stands out on it's own just fine.
I love the mixtures of colors she used. Never in a million years would I have thought have blending these colors together. I'm so glad I found her blog so I can come out of my normal blue, pink, purple color zone and use some things I never would have before. I think it all comes together so well, especially on top of the naked nail.
What do you think? fan of this look?
Until next time, <3.
