Good morning girls! How are you all today? Not long until the weekend now, yay :-)
Today I'd like to show you a manicure I created after being inspired by The Polished Perfectionist and Nail Stories:
My base was a white polish by Natural Collection. The first coat was very streaky but its appearance improved with the second coat.
I then painted three roses on my two accent nails using acrylic paint and a nail brush. This was my first time free-handing roses. What do you think of them?
To finish I then free-handed the tips of my remaining nails with All About Nails Honey Pink.
I think it's the first time I've ever done a manicure like this and I have to say I was really pleased with the way it turned out. I hope you like it as much as I do :-)
Bye for now,Laura
Gorgeous painting of the roses. Your nails look super nice.

Aw, thank you :-)
Deleteit looks cute
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI love it Laura. The baby pink and white go really well together. It makes for such a girly, soft mani. The roses on the ring finger were an excellent addition.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I don't usually recreate manicures I see on blogs but I'm glad I tried this one.
DeleteThis is so pretty, it reminds me a bit of Cath Kidston
ReplyDelete:-) I may be tempted to try a proper Cath Kidston now that I'm not so scared of free-handing roses lol
DeletePretty...very girlie!
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteI have to say that if this is your first freehand roses, then I'm seriously impressed. They're looking great!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I watched a video/read a tutorial about how to do them. You choose two colours and make a cross with them then mix them all together in circular movements.
DeleteUna manicura muy original. Me gusta.
ReplyDeleteBesos
