Hello lovelies!
Remember that green-on-green stamping manicure that I did a while ago? Well the next day, I decided to freehand something over it... Because sometimes I like to try freehanding, even though I am not very good at it. So I decided some hibiscuses would not be too tricky. This is the result!
The base is, as you might recall, Carpe Noctem Cosmetics [Insert Emerald Pun Here] and BPS bright green stamping, which I wore for a full day. But then I just needed to see if this would work! So I took out some white acrylic paint and painted the shapes of the flowers. Then I went over the white with some Rimmel "Coralicious" and some "Coachella" and some other pinkish polish that I don't remember, lol! I just put it on and blended until I was satisfied, all with just a little brush. Then I took my black striper to create the stems and with a tiny dotting tool I added the dots. Then, because acrylic paint always creates an uneven design (because I suck at it), I covered the design with NPB Glitter Food and then with a coat of SV.
I couldn't choose between my index and ring finger macros, so I am giving you both. But all these pics are actually just for me, so I never lose a design, even after I take it off.
I'm very interested to hear what you think of this mani! What would you have done differently?
Oh my goodness that's so pretty! I really like all the little details.
ReplyDeleteThank you <3
DeleteI saw this mani on Facebook, I think, and I love it! You managed to balance the background and the flowers perfectly without it becoming too busy :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! :D
DeleteIt is absolutely gorgeous <3
ReplyDeleteThank you! ^_^
DeleteI wouldn't change a thing, I think this mani is very pretty and the hand paint went perfectly with the stamp. Way to upcycle your mani!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! <3
DeleteThis looks amazing. Seriously! I love how you did this and your freehanding looks great to me. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I was insecure about it but you're all making me blush ^_^
DeleteWOW! I think this is one my favorites of all of your nail art manis!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! <3 :D
DeleteYou o not suck at freehand, I assumed they were decals! So pretty (and acrylic paint is uneven for those amazing freehanders, it is just like that)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the compliments, I was very unsure about it all but now I'm happy! :D <3
DeleteYour so talented, this mani is simply amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much <3
DeleteDon't think I'd do anything differently because these are so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! That is a huge compliment from such an amazing freehander like you! Thank you <3
DeleteI can't believe that's freehand! I can't even come close to that kind of skill on paper :P
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! But it is easier than it looks ;) Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do it ;)
DeleteI seriously thought this was double stamped or home made decals. You rocked for free handed flowers!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much <3 ^_^
DeletePRETTY! What would I have done differently? Hmm... Maybe used softer pink shades so it looks less red? I would be worried about it looking Christmas-y with the colour combo, though it definitely didn't turn out that way here!
