Delicate Floral Nails

30th October, 2012 - Posted by Emily - 18 Comments

I have some nail art to show you today! Usually when I do nail art I have an idea in my mind before I start, often I’ll even sketch it out with my iPad. This nail art came about when I was trying out a different design, and since it wasn’t working, I grabbed my nail polish remover and tried something else.

I’m pretty pleased with how these turned out! Even though they look a million times better in person than they do in pictures. But that’s always how it usually goes with nail art… :D

I really love the colour scheme and vintage feel of the design. I used the one stroke painting technique for the flowers. For the pinstripe nails I added a black line along 1/3 of the teal lines and silver glitter to spice it up a bit. From a small distance they look like gradients! These are the polishes I used:

  • HITS – Julie
  • Catrice – Jade Is Not My Name
  • It’s So Easy Stripe Rite – Black
  • It’s So Easy Stripe Rite – Silver Glitter
  • Acrylic Paints

Hope you like it!
