The One With the Sunflowers and ORLY Blue Tango
9:00:00 AMGood Morning!!! Sorry I've gone MIA again, but yet again, work got a little crazy. I'm still painting my nails, I'm just too exhausted to edit the photos or write the posts. I still have a palm tree look that I need to post. Maybe I'll post that when I'm tired of the 10th snowfall of the year. We aren't here to talk about snow though, we are here to talk about my favorite season - Fall! Sunflowers, pumpkins, crisp leaves, apples....ahhh it's all so wonderful. I truly wish Fall was longer.
Today's design is always my Fall kick off design, the sunflowers! I meant to post these a few weeks ago, so they're delayed on the blog, but I did have them on my nails in the height of sunflower season. Now we are onto apple season...and to be honest, I don't think I've ever done apple nails. I should look into that.
Until then, let's take a look at the sunflowers!!
Colors Used:
- ORLY - Blue Tango
- Acrylics
Guys - Blue Tango from the Wild Natures collection is GORGEOUS. By far one of my all time favorite blue polishes. It applies perfectly in two coats and has such a shiny finish. No patches, just a beautiful cream polish. It is by far the best base for the bright yellow sunflowers.
After the sunflowers were painted, I decided to go through and outline them with the black polish to really make them pop. They looked good without the outline but it truly did add another element to the design. Then it needed something a little more, and that was the polka dots. I'm not going to lie, I'm rather impressed with how well i fit the dots on the nails after the fact. Usually when I do a dot base, I put it down first then paint the design over it.
What do you think? Love Blue Tango? Love the sunflowers?
Until next time, <3.
