This week, I did potentially the best nail art I've ever done! I've been wanting to do vintage roses for a loooong time, I've seen them about the place loads and always eyed them up jealously, thinking that I would make a right pigs ear out of it if I tried them. But then on the weekend I said to myself, "Self, stop being a wimp and give it a go." And it turned out really well!
Enough waffling, let the copious picture spam commence....
Squeeeeee! I'm so pleased with them!
I was inspired by a Cath Kidson notebook I've got at home, which is the pattern below.
For the base I used Barry M Mint Green, which is the most gorgeous pastel green ever. I then swirled OPI Party In My Cabana into white nail polish (Sally Hansen White On, just to be really specific!) and used a tiny dotting tool to paint it on my nail. For the leaves I used a tiny paintbrush and Barry M Spring Green. Topped it all off with a top coat of Seche Vite, which made ALL the difference, they looked a bit messy until Seche performed it's usual smoothing magic.

Is that the one that you did on your toes a while ago? That probably makes me look like a total blog stalker, haha! But I rememebr thinking they looked awesome!
DeleteI love Vintage roses manis, I did them only once, but I need to recreate them another time!! to say it all yours is deffinitely one of the cutest i've seen so far, jsut love how your roses turned out!!!
ReplyDeleteWHOAH!!! They look amazing!!! Did you follow a tutorial, or do you have any tips? xx
ReplyDeleteI just experimented with a dotting tool! My top tip would be to not swirl your pink and white polishes too much, or they just get messy- literally put a blob of pink on some foil, then a smaller blob of white in the middle and use a tiny dotting tool to swirl it once. Then use that bit of swirl for your rose!
DeleteI love this! Esp the color combo! Great job! :)
