It's funny how inspiration strikes. I have a decent enough touch with a dotting tool to do some basic flowers. It's pretty much the only nail art I do try on a regular basis. As I was trying to think of something creative to do with flowers, I had an idea I hoped would work out. It's not perfect, but I kind of like it! I think I only have 1 untried in my accents.
*1 coat Yello-Out base
*1 coat Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out
*Sinful Colors Snow Me White
*Zoya Zusa, Color Club Almost Famous, Zoya Myrta, Zoya Carla and Zoya Kimber accents
This next one is a bit blurry on my thumb, but I wanted to show the little flowers I added. I mainly used the Zoya Surf colors because they are so pretty and sparkly. The actually showed up pretty well over the black and white base.
I was worried about polish drying and getting stringy, so I tried to move fast. In retrospect, I would have taken a little more time to get the shapes a little crisper. But skunks are furry, right? So they're a little messy too!
Overall, I kind of like this one! Some nails turned out better than others, but I think I got the skunk look across with some flowers in there too!
No matter how these are turning out, I'm glad that I'm trying new tings and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. It's about half-way through the challenge and even though there are a lot of really cool designs out there that I'd kill to pull off, I'm proud of myself for trying. You can't get better if you don't practice, right? What are you venturing into these days?
