Ok, first things first. Is anyone else pumped for the premiere of Once Upon a Time today?! I didn't realize how much I missed the show until I started seeing the promos! I had kind of a little ritual where I would always give myself a pedi while watching Once Upon a Time (not weekly, but always while watching the show) and I'm happy it's tomorrow because my toes need some love o_O.
Back to nails. For today's challenge prompt I was, once again, befuddled (I freakin' love that word). I had a couple of ideas I wanted to try out but my mojo was definitely gone and nothing came out nice enough. Before giving up and just stamping, I tried these little freehand flowers and I'm ok enough with the result to show you guys. Base color is Illamasqua Milf (yum), the flowers are Essie Play Date and Orly Charged Up and the leaves are China Glaze Exotic Encounters.
I did little blobs with Play Date then added Charged Up with a striper brush. Sometimes I wouldn't like the result or I would have too much polish on the striper so I would pat the blob with a tissue, sorta like a saran wrap marble mani. The leaves are most assuredly not my best work but it was late and I was watching Sons of Anarchy with le boy while polishing so I was distracted. I was also distracted by someone whining that he was watching tv alone and not receiving any cuddles, so I apologize for the awkward leaves :D.
There is a 92% chance I'll see you tomorrow for a challenge post that's actually on time!

Lovely! And I am super excited for Once Upon a Time!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! I love the colors you chose =)
ReplyDeleteNothing awkward about this mani!
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely lovely!
Gotta try these flowers like that one day!
Congrats!
I love these!!! I have got to try this. I don't freehand much anymore and really have to start again. I like how these are more abstract and not perfectly sculpted little flower buds. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'll email you tonight, I promise! Busy day for the business today. And I'm slammed with 6 products to review! ack!
Very, very pretty. Your execution is perfect.
