Blue Flowers Manicure

Artist block! I Lacked major inspiration the last few days.While I was browsing pinterest I found some images that I could use as inspiration. I was on pinterest for a long while.Looking up random pictures and came across a beautiful picture of flowers and patterns which inspired today's mani.

Decided to share the process it took to achieve this manicure with some pictures. They are pretty much self explanatory but feel free to ask questions if your not entirely sure how I did something.

I used the Winstonia brushes I reviewed earlier. If you haven't read my review be sure to check it out. ♡

For the coloring of the flowers as well as the outlines I used acrylic paint. Paint seen in the picture is what I used. I believe there only 63 cents at Michael's craft store.

Winstonia Brushes

The lovely people at winstonia sent me there brushes. I absolutely LOVE them. The package comes with four brushes: three striping brushes and one flat brush. I used the 3 striping brushes to do my manicure.The brushes were very thin so it was perfect for small details. I used them to color the flowers.
I also used the longer striping brush to do the lines around the flowers. Overall these brushes are excellent. They have really pretty blue handles and the striping brushes come in three different sizes.  The flat brush could be used for a variety of things. I used it to clean up around my nails and it worked perfectly. I would honestly recommend them to everyone they are great quality, inexpensive and there perfect for any kind of nail art.

Lion King Nails

This was one of my favorite movies when I was little.I decided to go with Nala and simba since i did these in honor of Valentine's day. And I went with safari themed background for the rest of the nails.

Safari Nail Art

For these nails I was inspired by a picture from pinterest. It didn't have a watermark to properly credit. I did a gradient using nail polish as well as acrylic paint. I then painted the silhouettes of the animals. I lately applied a matte top coat.

Skull and Roses

I really like the theme of skull and roses on nails. I did both of these with that theme but tried different combinations of colors and placement. I probably will do more with this theme because you can never go wrong with these.I just love it.

Valentines Day Manicures

Love, happiness and heartbreak is what I associated FEBURARY with this year. Although not everyone feels excited or happy with valentines day, I took the liberty to portray the bad and good of Valentine's Day.
