Nail WIN! This is soooo pretty

Do you ever have a mani in thoughts that you think can by no means work as it's too complex, too much painting through hand? And that it will be a catastrophe in your proper hand because you have to paint with the left? (or reversed for lefties) just try it once, you would possibly love what you are making!

I used big apple Fluo club nr. 92, a very light pink. After making use of my base coat, I sponged this pretty red colour on my nails, making sure the polish changed into thicker toward the tip of the nail. I made a form of gradient with one color, so the component around the cuticles is my actual nail shade. The sponge I used is pretty hard, making a texture. This texture were given even more pronounced after I sponged my mattifier onto the purple.

The texure and gradient on itself isn't very attractive. I continued my layout with the aid of portray white flower petals onto the red. 3 in step with nail, with a piece of space between them (or as a minimum I attempted). The shape of these simply doesn't count number that a good deal. I know i am a perfectionist and i was almost geared up to start throughout, however the shape isn't that visible anymore in a while. portray these petals become a piece tougher due to the feel.

I drew black thin lines around the petals, stopping at the end and not completely enveloping the petal. I also made one or two really thin lines within the petals, giving it that creased look. I used my Rimmel London Black Cab and a tiny art brush. I didn't use a striper, due to the simple reason that I don't own one. 

Next, I added some pink stripes to the petals, wherever there was room in between the black lines. It's hard to see the pink because it's not very opaque. I used L'Oreal Paris Ingenuous Rose for this. 

Finally, I put some pink dots on what would be the heart of the flower and added the dotted trails in pink and black. 

I guess I don't need to tell you I didn't use a top coat. That would have counteracted the effect of the mattifier. I love, love, LOVE this effect! The matte backdrop makes the flowers pop and the matte pink looks like I could eat it. I have that with certain nail polish colors or combinations.

Might just be me, when I describe a color as 'tasty' or 'edible'. In this case, I think it's because it reminds me of something coated with powdered sugar, certain candies or something. I just can't remember what candy exactly. It's hard to see on the picture but in real life, it's soooo good!

I'm just so happy with my nails!!! I don't know how long I'll keep this design. I might just annoy my boyfriend with it this weekend :-p Yeah, I think I'll do that
