Base Colour is 4 coats of Revlon 'Lilac Pastelle' 185 The flower detailing was created using water based acrylic paints purchased at any craft store |
Her favourite colour is purple and we used to have toll-painted candlestick holders that I remember vividly so I decided to combine the two. I started with a pale, pastel lilac colour for my base. I then took my dotting tool and using the smaller end I used pink water-based acrylic paint and made a small dot in the upper corner of my nails. I flipped my dotting tool over and using the large end created the four white dots (water-based acrylic paint again but in white). Then I took a small detailing brush and created the petals using a light green. For added effect I went back in using a dark green and created a 'shadow' on the petal. If you click on the image you can see this in greater detail.
I wore this look for two days before changing it up. My nail polish collection seems to be steadily growing and I am always so excited to try new looks out, hence the short lifespan of my designs. At least they are 'immortalized' here. Haha.
Thanks for reading.
i remember those candlestick holders :)
ReplyDeleteyou should try using that lilac base, any fun colour really - pastel or otherwise, with white diagonal tips (think back to one of your first entires with hot pink and black criss-cross tips). i think it's very "spring-time".
