I didn't have exactly the same colors that she did, but I tried! The design almost reminds me of most vintage rose patterns with the striped background, except the flowers are much more modern and stylized.
I started off with a base coat of Ulta's Snow White. I then place striping tape down each nail vertically, and painted Milani U Pinky Swear over it. While it was still wet, I removed the striping tape. I then took my largest dotting tool and started dotting the base of each flower.
I finished the rest of the flowers by using China Glaze Re-fresh Mint and Zoya Lara. I put one of each flower on each nail - one with Re-fresh Mint as a base, and one with Lara as a base. I then added one last dot of Snow White for the center of each flower. It really helped tie the flowers into the background!
I really like how they turned out! It's a design that I wouldn't have thought of myself, and I really like it. I think I Feel Polished did it better though! My white stripes got messed up when I removed the tape, even though I waited a very long time for it to dry, and my mint flower petals are a bit streaky.
It's a really cute design though! It's very bright and is really getting me geared up for springtime.

Your lines probably messed up BECAUSE you waited a long time to pull the tape-if you pull earlier the lines are better.
ReplyDeleteI think yours is really cute, though! Nice job!
The pink turned out fine, but the white is what got messed up. I pulled the tape off while the pink was still wet, but I guess the white wasn't dry enough underneath! The white was a bit tacky and started to come up with the tape. But yes, if the top color starts to dry it gets a bit wonky! I've found that out before :) haha
DeleteLove them!! Great job, Corrinne!!
