I'm so exhausted, I'm doing a training for work, so I'm going to keep it short.
I recently got some tools from BornPrettyStore.com that are great for freehanding! Acrylic paint in various gorgeous colours and an amazing nail art brush to apply the paint! I created this with it (please ignore the extensive shrinkage; it probably has something to do with the peel-off basecoat and the fact that I took a hot shower):
Now colour wise, it didn't turn out quite as I had hoped, but it's still a super happy manicure! My base is Celestial Cosmetics "Bright Blue Sky", a vibrant blue holo glitter polish that sparkles endlessly!
The brush is so pretty! It has diamonds in the handle and is very easy to use. It's super thin and good for detailed work.
I love that this set has all the colours of the rainbow! So I took the dark purple, pink, red, orange, green and yellow to paint on the flowers.
Unfortunately the pink got kinda orange-y. That was weird. I'm sure that not painting the pink over the purple would have left it pink. Always tricky, these paints.

What do you think? Do you like the colours I chose?
I love the way the flowers seem to be floating over the glitter - like flowers floating in a spa bowl.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! Little tip for when using a lighter color over a dark, put white down first that way the darker color(your purple) doesn't change the lighter(your pink) color on Ya :)
ReplyDeleteThat nail art brush looks awesome! Take care of you!!
ReplyDeleteThese are really pretty! I love the flowers!
ReplyDeleteLove those flowers! Great color combo :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of that brush! I totally need a new one like that since I accidentally killed mine. The flowers are super pretty, I loved them the second I saw them on facebook earlier today!
ReplyDeleteLovely Manicure. I loved the base nail color very much.
ReplyDeleteThis is so nice and summery! The base colour is gorgeous too :)
ReplyDeleteLove the base colour <3 And your nail art is amazing.
ReplyDeleteSo cool you chose a sparkly blue as your background instead of using a creme!
ReplyDeleteomg So pretty!! ^_^
ReplyDeleteOh so bright colours! I wished I could free hand something. Anything really. I had bought a white acrylic paint from BPS over one year ago and it's still somewhere unopened.
ReplyDeleteOMG...that base color is stunning! And your flowers are so bright and fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love the brush and may need to grab one!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I just love those little flowers!! That's so weird about the pink :-/
ReplyDeleteThis is a really pretty look for spring! I'm excited because I got that nail art brush too and it's so pretty and the tip seems like it's the perfect size! Great to hear you found it easy to use, I can't wait to try it this weekend. :)
