Delicate French Tip Cherry Blossoms

Hello Fireflies!

A friend of mine posted this picture of beautiful, delicate cherry blossoms over a simple French tip, and I wanted to see if I could recreate it. 

Well, I couldn't.  But I'm still pretty happy with my version of it.

I started out with a thin, thin layer of Essie Shop Till I Drop for the soft pink base, and then used Milani White on the Spot for the tip.  A long striping brush with Cult Nails Nevermore, and I had the cherry blossom branches.  I actually really liked this look, and could have stopped here!

But, I'm glad I didn't stop there! 

I used a teeny art brush and painted the flowers first in white, then added a mix of pinks - Essence Iced Strawberry Cream, and Orly Oh Cabana Boy.

This mani used a strange accent finger for me - I rarely use the index as an accent - I usually like the ring and thumb nails for accents.  Also, for this mani, the accent is the absence of nail art. Weird.

Bottle shot:  Milani White On The Spot, Cult Nails Nevermore, Essie Shop Till I Drop, Essence Iced Strawberry Cream, and Orly Oh Cabana Boy.

What do you think?  I hope you liked it, too.  I didn't want to take it off!
