I did it! I finally did the floral nails that I've been longing to do for quite some time now. I scrolled through quite a few pages of Google images to find inspiration. I LOVE how these turned out. What do you think?

I remembered to take a picture while doing these nails.

Here they are, halfway done. Flash overkill, I know. :P

And here they are, complete!
I used a dotting tool for the flowers, a small nail art brush for the leaves and a black nail art pen for the outline of the flowers.
The colors I used for this design:
Base:
- China Glaze - White on White
Flowers:
- China Glaze - Strawberry Fields (couldn't resist a bit of shimmer!)
- Essie - The Girls Are Out (shimmer, again)
- A pink Love & Beauty polish from F21.
- Two nameless local polishes.
Leaves:
- Sally Hansen - Mint Sprint
- Sally Hansen - Green With Envy
I used Seche Vite as a top coat and it sealed all the colors in nicely.

Oh, I added my Orly - Matte Topcoat after a couple of days to see if I would like it matte. Nahhh. Glossy is the way to go!

This is China Glaze - White on White before I did the design. You can probably tell from the picture that only my thumbnail had two coats and the rest only one. In my haste to get my nails done, I forgot to take a picture with all nails layered with 2 coats of White on White. ><
Thanks so much for reading.
