Hey everyone!
I've seen lots of nail bloggers and artists do nail art challenges. And the one that caught my eye is the one made by Californails. Here's my Day 1 to Nail Art April Challenge (I'm a few days late, sorry!) which is Flowers!
I've put together a little tutorial for you guys, and here's what you need:
From Right to Left:
- Etude House Help My Finger Sunshine Whitener as basecoat;
- Etude House Jewelade RD201;
- Etude House Look at My Cotton Candy Nails COR202;
- The Face Shop Lovely Me: EX Nails YL702;
- Etude House Look at My Cotton Candy Nails CWH901;
- Skin Food Nail Vita BL512;
- Pokari for Stroberi 6190 Metallic Green;
- and Revlon Super Top Speed Top Coat as top coat.
The steps:
- Paint your nails the base color you wanted.
- Using a darker color of what you wanted for your roses, draw a not perfect circle. Fill it in.
- Draw another circle with the lighter color.
- Start making a dot in the middle of your circle and create the 'petals' by making a half-moon shape using the lighter color. Let it dry.
- Do the 4th step with darker color on the other circle.
- Using white, draw half-moon shape on both circles, not overlapping the colors you've created.
- Draw little triangles coming out of the flower using a green polish or acrylic paint.
- Highlight the leaves with a lighter shade of green in the middle of the triangle.
- Top coat to seal it off and you're done!
The tools I used in this mani is my trusty old Cotman 0000 brush.

Hope you guys enjoy my post, and see you soon!
