Day 14 of the 31 Day Challenge calls for flower nails. As usual, I had to make a few attempts before I got anything borderline presentable. I tried to work with pressed flowers, but they just kept breaking and looking lumpy when I put top coat on them...Has anyone had any luck with them? I'd love some pointers!
Once I had given up on the pressed flowers, I decided to do a black and gold manicure. This is two coats of A England Camelot with Konad Special Polish in Gold and Konad Stamping Plate m4. Once I had stamped on the gold design, I felt that the manicure was missing something, so I put some red rhinestones in the middle of the flowers. I had a really hard time getting the design to transfer, so I actually had to freehand most of the ends of the petals. Not the greatest, but not too bad considering the wonky nail art brush I had to use...It was my first time using the brush, and it became unusable after about three petal's worth of painting. That's no good!
Thanks for reading! I'm especially excited about the manicure I get to show you all tomorrow! Until then...
