Pink blossoms + blue leaves nail art

Hi guise!! I find it hard to differentiate between floral designs in the title but well they are pretty similar haha. This design was inspired by Lacquerstyle cause sometimes a girl needs some simple stylish floral nail art in her life. Also I'm not great at florals, well it's hit or miss. Actually I do think this one was in between but it was nice to wear.

I wasn't happy (well not unhappy but neutral), so I slammed a load of glitter on top to distract. I think it works but then I just love glitter (if you learn one thing about me). Like I think the design is nice enough but that's about it. Nothing special, the colours just about come together in the design.

This was an all toothpick design, I tried to be loose and artsy but sometimes that doesn't work out for me haha. I think I did ok with spacing and not putting too many flowers on a nail?

Purple: Barry M - Prickly Pear 
Pinks: Barry M - Fuchsia and Barry M - Boots LE 2012 B
Green: Illamasqua - Melange
Blue: H&M - Blue My Mind
Glitter: M&S - Light Mix and Rimmel - Disco Ball

Thank you for reading and I hope you have a great day!! :)

Falling purple blossoms + striped nails

Hey there guys!! This manicure was inspired by the Manicurator, I thought this look was really pretty and I did my take on it (hers was better haha) except with purple and brown. I love the combination of purple and brown now.

I was trying to make the other flowers more artsy and had a bit of a fail, it's just too messy. But I love the stripes and the falling flowers, really nice. I know the stripes aren't perfect, but for freehanding it I don't think it's too bad. The flowers over the stripes were my fave, it's a classy look?

I mentioned I freehanded the stripes, and everything else I used toothpicks and the brush of the polishes. Like I used the brush of the polish for the stripes and tidied up with toothpicks if needed be. For the brown parts of the flower I tried to be more loose and free and go a bit wild. But I think it was too wild, the loose and free has worked for me a lot but not for this design.

White: Barry M - Cotton
Purple: Illamasqua - Jo'Mina
Pinky purple: Illamasqua - Seance
Light purple: Barry M - Prickly Pear
Dark purple: OPI - Plum & Get It
Brown: w7 - Brownie

Thank you very much for reading and I hope you have a really nice day!! :)

Red/Blue Blossom Nails

Hey there guys!! It's a nail art day and I love floral nail art and my problem has always been that I'm not very good at it :( Again it's another hit and miss thing for me, except I think with floral nail art when I hit, I HIT!! I'm very happy with this one, elegant flowers are the shizz.

I was trying to be artsy and when I do that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When I don't try really hard it tends to work and vice versa (reverse psychology?), and artsiness is me in this design.
With the peach base, I thought some pinky red and blue flowers would go really nice on top. I think I managed to do the shading ok too. The black dots really helped the design an thankfully I didn't mess it up!! I felt so elegant with this design on ;)

For the artsiness, I got my toothpick and actually just went mental making loose flower shapes. Seriously mental, there was no set shape going on (I think that's my downfall) and I avoided outlines this time round. The leaves were more structured also I didn't want them all over the place so they're very orderly. For the bits of glitter I did a little bit of fishing, not tough fishing though if you know what I mean?

Base: Paris Collection - Brown Beaute

Red: OPI - Dutch Tulips

Pink (hard to see): Models Own - Radiant Pink

Dark blue: H&M - Blue My Mind

Light blue: Models Own - Asscher Blue

Black: M&S - Petrol

Green: Illamasqua - Melange

Green glitter: Orly - Go Deeper

Thanks very much for reading and I hope you have a great day!! :)

PowerPuff Girls Nail Art

Hello there!! Thank you for clicking here on PlumeriaPainted, I appreciate it. It's a nail art day!! PowerPuff girls, don't know about you but I was obsessed with the PowerPuff girls when I was really young. It was so fun, and they were saving the world and the villain was all crazy. It was a good show. Oo and it was so colourful!! So yeah did some nail art inspired by them.

I'm really really happy with how this turned out, I think the PowerPuff girls are so cute!! They're aren't perfect but I think it works and has "personal flair". So there's Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup. Bubbles was my favourite cause she's so happy and cute!! For the thumb and pinky I was trying to do the heart that they appear in, in the theme tune, it works better when I do a different hand position. On another note I loved the PowerPuff Girls theme tune, again so fun.

So I started with a white base for all of them and did my black outline. Then I got my toothpicks and filled in. Proportion is always my nail art enemy so I was battling that and I think I mostly won (except kind of for Buttercup). For the stripes (I'm trying to think of the word for that stripy heart but it's not coming to me) I just got the brushes of the polishes and went wild.

Base: Claire's - Hundreds & Thousands
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
Yellow: Rimmel - Sunshine
Peach: w7 - Linen
White: Barry M - Matt White and Lovely Me:Ex - White (as a base)
Blue: Revlon - Blue Lagoon
Red: OPI - Dutch Tulips
Orangey Red: Barry M - Carousel
Orange: Essie - Fear Or Desire
Green: Illamasqua - Nomad
Orangey Pink: OPI - Charged Up Cherry
Light Pink: Barry M - Dragon Fruit
Fuchsia: Barry M - Fuchsia
Pink: Orly - Basket Case

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day!! :)

Cherry Blossoms

Hello there. I based this manicure off the cherry blossom design I used for my "Hello Kitty Gone Wild" manicure. I got a lot of compliments for that specific design so I thought I'd do a full manicure with it.

I had difficulties with how to position the branches but otherwise it was fine as the design is so sweet. It was very easy to do and doesn't require a lot of polishes, my friends also commented how they liked how the green faded to white (they are too cute :3) so a somewhat successful gradient :)
Green: China Glaze - Re-Fresh Mint
White: Models Own - Snow White
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
Pink: OPI - Charged Up Cherry
Re-Fresh Mint was almost one coat, it's very pigmented but lighter than what you would expect. Love the colour combination, the pale green and the hot pink just go really well together.
