You know what day of the week it is! That's right! Twinsie Tuesday! And this weeks theme is: floral mani.
Alright. I'm not much of a nail artist but I do enjoy doing it. So hopefully, my mani will be as awesome as my Twinsies'!
Red poppies. Yay or nay?
For the base I used Essie Looking for Love. It's the perfect jelly grey with lots of blue undertones, so technically it's bley, if you know what I mean! However, I LOVE it! It was a bit streaky with 2 coats but the 3 one covered it perfectly! Looking for Love is actually my first time using and I was really impressed with this one. As you may or may not know, Essie is one brand that I am not too fond of.
For the stems, flowers and buds I used acrylic paint. As you can tell, I almost always use acrylic paint to avoid any smearing and/or smudging.
So what do you think?

Anna, your nail art never ceases to amaze me. You've got talent, girl.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda! Youre too sweet!
DeleteTotally seconding Amanda--these are so, so pretty!! Beautiful job and the colours are perfect. I'm pleasantly surprised by that Essie too! Pale Essies are so often a nightmare to apply, but I'll definitely be on the lookout for this one. It looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI actually toyed with the idea of doing some poppies on white, and now I'm so glad I didn't--they would have looked all kinds of ridiculous in comparison. >_<
