Floral Fancy. Nails Of The Day....





As much as I love nail art, the one thing I hate is the waiting. Purely because the designs always take so long to complete on each nail and I always feel like there's always something better I could be doing. So, this floral style really is good for me as it literally takes 10 minutes.

The base colour is NYC's Blue Sky. I then added the hot pink dots with Nails Inc's OMP. For the centres of the flowers I used Wet'n'Wild's Tickled Pink. Finally I used Rimmel's Block Your Green for the leaves.

I didn't use my nail art brushes or dotting tools for this design. I simply used the little brush in the nail polishes. Which is it isn't the most intricate floral nail art around, but I really like how simple it is.

I tried to stick to 3/4 flowers on each nail, but I think it would look nice with a couple more. Or perhaps with some polka dots to? Or maybe even some pale stripes for the background....

Also - I'm on the look out for a really pale mint green polish. Any recommendations?

Do you like this nail art?
Will you be trying this design out yourself?
