I love black nail polish, I really do...but I have to embellish it. Plain black polish reminds me too much of 90s goth. You also know I love free handed flowers on my nails so I came up with these nails.
I started with a layer of Orly Bonder Rubberized Base Coat on each nail. I then painted my nails with two coats of Ebony Hates Chris. Next I used a small nail art brush and made daisy flowers with White On. After all the flowers dried, I ran over them with Tokyo Pearl to add a pearlized look to each petal. While Tokyo Pearl was still wet, I dropped a gold microbead in the middle of each flower and pressed them in slightly. Last, I applied two layers of top coat.
These were exactly what I envisioned and they are very cute:)

I love this mani! Great job free handing those daisies! How did you place that micro bead so perfectly?
ReplyDeleteThese are so freaking cute! I love how great they turned out.
ReplyDeleteThanks, ya'll!
ReplyDelete@BeautyScraps--to place the microbeads in specific spots, I make sure the polish is wet in the area I want the bead. I dump a small amount of bead onto a plastic bag (for easy, no waste cleanup). I then wet my smallest nail brush with water or clear polish and pick up a single bead and place it where I want it. I give it a little press into the polish with my thumb nail and coat the entire nail with at least two layers of top coat.
@Jenna--yeah...but Im going to buy a smaller brush for more petals...daisies should have a lot more petals!
these are just adorable!
