#52WPNMC - Yellow Roses - freehand nail art - BB's Autumn Challenge

Hello everyone!

"Yellow" is one of the themes in the 52 Week PICK N MIX Challenge this week, but I made this when "yellow" was the theme in the Blogger Bragger Autumn Nail Art Challenge. The base is Deborah Lippmann: Flowers In Her Hair, and the yellow roses and the leafs are painted with acrylic craft paint and a toothpick. Some photos are taken before I added INM Northern Lights, and some are with the holo microglitter. So this is a mint and yellow version of my Vintage Flowers nails.

One photo of how I made this:

The finished nail art:

I've used this polish before, for my LIVE ♥ laugh ♥ love nails.

Thank you for visiting my blog!

Vintage Flowers - freehand nail art - inspired by xoJahtna

Hello everyone!

In one of the groups I'm a member of, flowers is the theme this month. "Vintage flower" was the theme last week, and "vintage" is the challenge in a different group this week. So I'll show you the rose, lilly, and daisy nails I made later. I must admit that I didn't know what "Vintage flowers" was until I saw the examples and videos we were given. I'll include the video tutorial made by xoJahtna, that helped and inspired me, at the end of the post.


What I did:

For these "Vintage Flower" nails, I applied Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid, and made the flowers with acrylic craft paint and a toothpick. I used Seche Vite top coat. After a while I added silver holographic glitter; INM Out The Door Northern Lights Top Coat Silver.

Some photos are with holo glitter and some are not. It rained constantly the first day, but I got some photos without rain the second day, and then, to my surprise, the sun came back. So I hope you are ready for many photos! ♥

I was inspired by this video tutorial made by xoJahtna:



The plan was to do exactly what she did. But because of thunder and lightening I had to turn everything off, so I couldn't look at it when I struggled and had mixed the colors to much...

Nearly ready, before top coat:

Kismet butterfly nails

Hello everyone!

This butterfly nail art was made in April. I used linear holographic nail polish for both the base and the stamping, and added a few fimo butterflies. I also used these fimo butterflies last year for my Black butterfly nails, where I also showed how to use this kind of nail decoration.

Used:

Base: Color Club: Kismet
Stamping polish: Color Club: Beyond (used here)
Stamping plates: Konad m36 and m78
Fimo butterflies: N.NAIL Black Butterfly Modelling Clay Nail Decorations [NNAIL-DRN276]
Holographic glitter top coat: INM Out The Door Northern Lights Hologram Top Coat Silver
(I also used a basecoat for holographic nail polish)
