Day 14 – Flowers

Hi everyone! Today is already the 14^th day of the challenge. I will be showing you some Floral nails.

Day 14 - Flowers

I am thinking of doing another Chalkboard nails inspired flowers (she really did a great job for her 31 day challenge). Unfortunately, I can’t find a flower that’s easy for me to do yet not so common. So I decided to just do a very simple flower.

Day 14 - Flowers

I used Caronia First Crush as my base color and free handed the flowers using a brush. I’m so happy to be able to draw a flower using a nail art brush. This is the second time that I was able to do that. The first is on my Funky French Flower, but that was only on my thumb. I already did a couple of flower designs way back but I normally use a dotting tool to create flowers since I’m not really good in controlling brushes.

Even though I don’t think I made a good decision for my color combination, I still find the flowers classy and cute.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for dropping by.

Day 4 – Green

Moving on with the challenge. For the fourth day, we have the color Green. I do not own a lot of green polish. So today, I will be showing you something that I already swatched on my previous blog.

Bobbie Lush

This is Bobbie Lush, a regular green crème polish. Unlike Bobbie Vamp, this requires four coats to get full opacity. I forgot to use the white base, unlike the one that I used previously.

But I like the green shade and it’s consistency. the polish is easy to apply evenly.

I did have a hard time thinking of what to do as an accent nail. I’m thinking of the recycling symbol but I can not seem to figure out how to do that on my nails. After a lot of thinking, I ended up doing a non-green related design.

I love how I was able to draw the flowers. I know it’s not perfect. But I rarely draw a decent flower. So I really smiled after I was able to do this properly.

I also love how it looked on the camera. It looks like it’s a 3D flower, but no, it’s not.

Don’t you guys think the flowers are pretty?

Funky French Flower

When I was in Holland, I stumbled upon nailside’s blog, (if you’re a fan of nails, you better check her blog.) She’s also from Netherlands, and she was the one who introduced me to some drug stores that sell cheaper polishes.

She does a lot of tape manis which I would like to try out more. I already did her laser mani way back. And now, I will show you another nail design that I copied from her, the Funky French.

Funky French

I’m only going to do a simple polish, but I got bored with how it looked like.

Essence Tryin' to be Cool

I remembered how her mani looked like and decided I’d give it a try. I started cutting strips of tape to use and tried to figure out how I’ll do them. While in the middle of all those cutting, I ruined my thumb a bit. So I decided to just paint the other four. And on the remaining nail, I decided I’d do a simple sun flower.

Funky French Flower

I wanted to put little dots on the brown part of the flower but after putting one dot, I don’t think I got my desired effect so I just choose to put a face on it.

Sun Flower

When I look at it, it looks like the plants vs. zombies’ sunflower. And I find it cute.

What do you guys think?
