HPB Presents: May Flowers - A Tablecloth Design


Hello lovelies!

I'm participating in this month's Hobby Polish Blogger's Linkup, which is themed May Flowers. I love floral designs, but I've done a few colourful ones already, so this time I decided to give it a twist:


I started off with two coats of Maybelline Color Show "Cool Touch" and then stamped with Laushine white polish and BP-L004 from Born Pretty Store. Then I used black acrylic paint and a detail brush to paint on the flowers. As you can see, I had a bad case of the shaky hands! Man it's hard to paint details when you just can't keep your hands still! 


Now despite the bad execution, I really like the idea of this mani. I like its monochromaticity. What do you think?

And don't forget to check out the manis done by the other lovely participants of this month's linkup, which you can find below!

    I love the black and white version of May Flowers! Still very appropriate... I want to wear this mani with a yellow dress :-D

    Great take on the theme--black flowers are so unexpected!

    That's such a special interpretation! I always think of colours when I think of flowers, using a black and white combo really makes it unique!

    I don't think it's a bad execution at all! I love the way they came out and I love the toned-down feel of the colors.

    I love the use of the gray, white and black. It's so different for the challenge. And the stamping looks like a trellis behind them.
