Hello, Fireflies!
What, a new nail linkup? I saw this cute pix on my friend Amber's blog, Daydreaming Beauty, and I
Have you ever been to Washington, D.C. during the time the cherry blossoms are blooming? It's utterly spectacular, and it smells amazing. Inspired by that and many incarnations of cherry blossom nail art (including this one by the fabulous Kimiko7878 on Instagram) I came up with this.
I started with Cult Nails Angel Whispers, a textured pale, pale pink, and Darling Diva Polish Rose Opal, a pink jelly with flakies.
I used a black striper for the branches and leaves.
I decided to do more abstract blossoms, with dots of polish. I used Sheswai Lacquers in Babe and What, and also did some highlighting with Angel Whispers.
It almost looks like snow, instead of flowers!
One of the benefits of doing dots instead of something more precise - you can do both hands, and they look like you totally meant to do dots!
Bottle shot: Cult Nails Angel Whispers, Darling Diva Polish Rose Opal. Sheswai Lacquers in Babe and What, and my black nail art striper.
I don't always do nail art on both hands, but if I do, I want everyone to see it! Look, Ma! Both hands!
