Hi there guys!! Here's another Valentine's design, that's late hahaha. I do like all these lovey dovey designs, they can encourage cute (i.e. my favourite thing ever) but not sure how I feel about the actual day, like is it actually a holiday? I really just ignore it, but the whole chocolate, flowers, cards thing seems very manufactured and marketed to me. I shall not conform!!! Haha I don't care, that's my stance on it :P
I have mad struggles with rose nail art (I am the only one who finds them impossible), but this is the first time I'm genuinely proud of a rose design and I love this!! Especially the green and blue roses, they are cool. I went a bit crazy with the backgrounds (the orange and blue one, that could've been rethought) but it's different, and interesting. I used the
Copy That Copy Cat rose method, I think it's great. I'm actually happy with how the roses turned out.
For the weird backgrounds I grabbed the polish brushes and went crazy, as suggested before. I used bobby pins for the roses, they were good. And whatever other detail I had for this manicure I used toothpicks.
Purple/Pink base with glitter:
Illamasqua - Jo'Mina,
Orly - Basket Case and
Rimmel - Disco Ball
Orange/Blue base with "shakies" :/ (you can only see them kind of in the above picture):
Models Own - Beach Party,
Essie - Bikini So Teeny and
M&S - Light Mix (really should only be used over darker colours)

Barry M - Raspberry (I tried using OPI Dutch Tulips first and that failed),
Barry M - Matt White,
OPI - Jinx and
Barry M - Lady
Greens of leaves:
Illamasqua - Nomad and
Rimmel - Block Your Green!
Blue/Green roses:
Barry M - Greenberry,
Kiko - 265 and
Barry M - Aqua Glitter
Blue/Purple leaves:
The Face Shop - GR501,
OPI - Get Your Number and
OPI - Plum & Get It
Thank you for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day!! :)
The green and blue roses are beautiful! I love the backgrounds, it sort of looks like a old collage!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!! ^_^ I like the old collage idea, I wasn't sure what I was going for!! :)
DeleteI love the crazy look of these -- very nonconformist :) Love the unexpected colors you used, your nail art is always so original!
ReplyDeleteHahaha thank you, I always aim to be (nonconformist and orginal haha :P). I really liked the idea of the green and blue roses, glad you liked it too :D
DeleteI LOVE THIS!! (in bold too!) especially the blue and green one, great colour combo and definitely feels kinda like fauvism. Though I'm not sure if that could actually be applied, considering blue roses aren't so "rare" with colouration stuff going on. Lols. Nevertheless, I still crazy love them. By the way, its not that the pink and reddish ones aren't beautiful, they are! I just love blue, green, and purple contrasting with orange background more. Very different and captivating! :)
ReplyDeleteAha! So looks like to me, roses are not something impossible to you now! Congratulations on mastering something new! :D
Aw THANKS!! :D (in caps ;)), I always like the clash of blue and green and I just had to look up fauvism, but I totally agree ;) I get what you're saying, I guess I wanted the red and pink roses there for contrast for the blue and green, haha I love my crazy colour combos. Hehe I'm glad I'm finally getting the hang of roses, it's a continuous process, thanks so much :)
