My inspiration was this gorgeous succulent pattern by Lindsay Nohl. I love the almost watercolored look of these, and I wish I could have represented the soft, faded colors better on my nails! Still though, it can be hard to translate specific details into nail art at times, and I feel good about the modifications I made to get this to work for nails.
I started with a white base, and then freehanded my plants on using four different colors.
China Glaze - Westside Warrior (olive green)
China Glaze - Fancy Pants (blue)
China Glaze - Grape Pop (purple)
China Glaze - Purr-fect Plum (burgundy)
I thought it would also be interesting to include my palette for this nail art. When I do nail art I work off of pieces of wax paper, and often when I finish a design I'll fold up the palette and save the clean outside for my next design. Unfortunately, I think I waste quite a bit of polish because of how quickly it dries. Oh well, such is the life of a nail artist I guess...?
A pinnable combination image, if you are into that sort of thing. :)
I love them! So beautiful and very one of a kind! Yes I have to agree, the process is part of the joy in doing nail art too! Even when there are frustrating moments (when we messed up a design) to finally get it done, makes everything so worthwhile! ♥

ReplyDeleteLovely pattern! I imagine it would look *just* like the picture if you layered a white jelly over it, don't you have OPI Don't Burst My Bubble? (I think I remember you swatching it.)
ReplyDeleteReally cute and original... hope you don't mind if I'll draw some inspiration from it!

Nice Nail art designs..I liked it.. Flowery Nail Art
ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot nowadays, I think, to do floral patterns that are really unique. I don't know that this is technically "floral", but it counts. ;) Anyway, you've done it! This is a fantastic design, and I agree that you translated it well. Great work, really.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's amazing! And YES, I love that you get it. When people see my nails, I get a lot of "wow, you must have a lot of free time" or "how do you have the patience for that?". I tell them it's my hobby, it makes me happy! Some people watch TV, or play games, or read, or whatever... I paint tiny designs on my fingertip canvases :D
ReplyDeleteoooh yes! Or Don't Touch My Tutu would work too :D

I use foil when doing designs like dotticures, etc. when I need to mix polish or put it on a surface before putting it on my nails. I heard that foil doesn't dry out the polish as quickly. But, to be honest, I'll bet wax paper does the same thing.

That would do the trick; I'm wearing an acrylic based galaxy mani right now, and I used the same method to paint the nebulae. :D
ReplyDeleteTotally!
ReplyDeletewow this is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAwesome design! Maybe start using acrylic paints so you don't feel so bad about wasting a lot of polish!
