I have a quick post for you this evening (I have to go start dinner for the hubs haha). I bought a set of cheap acrylic paints at Wal-Mart last week in the hopes of advancing my nail art skills because I feel like it's time for me to challenge myself a little bit more. I need to step out of my cutesy comfort zone ;) So, I decided to try a floral design over french tips...
Colors Used: Daisy Nail Lacquer - White Diamond, Orly - Beverly Hills Plum, Acrylic Paint
I started with a basic french tip (white tips, pink base). I then took a thin nail art striper and painted black branches. After the paint set I continued with that same thin striper and painted the green leaves; first with the darker green, then the light.
For the roses, I took out a detail brush and painted dark red blobs. I tried my hand and definition with red orange and pink. I top coated and was done.
Ta-da!
I think what I love most about acrylic paint is that it dries incredibly fast! I can wait to continue my education in actual art hahaha :P Oh and thank you all for the lovely comments on my bubble mani! I haven't had a chance to reply but it seriously made my week. Love to you all!!
Until next time!

Awesome freehand -- this is very winter holidays!
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed this piece on Painting the Roses Red it reminds me how creativity can transform even the most ordinary things into something beautiful. Much like how Sector 22D Yamuna Expressway is evolving into a vibrant, well-planned area, turning what was once plain land into a thriving community. Art and development truly go hand in hand
