I'm nervous about posting this latest painting because I did them as a weeding gift for my best friend. Her wedding isn't until the end of July. Here's hoping she doesn't look at my blog till after that.
She picked a wall hanging from Target with the exact design as the yellow poppy as a wedding gift on her registry. Of course I thought to myself, "I can do that and it would mean so much more if I painted it". When I was all done, I'll admit, I was impressed with myself at how great they both came out. Below is the original art from the Target website. I can't wait to give this gift to her and her husband for their new house and life together!
I've been working outside at the Garden Center for a little over a month now and my nails look like it. I just had three days off due to schedule luck and an unfortunate Bee sting. . . don't worry i'm fine now. So, I took the time to pamper myself and get my nails back in somewhat of a presentable state. I saw this design on Pinterest using Hot Pink and a similar Yellow. Unfortunately, my Hot Pink was just used to enhance the soles of my new shoes for an upcoming wedding :) !!! For some reason the lines look thicker in the photo than they really are. Regardless, you'll need two colors of polish, scotch tape (my new best friend) and scissors.
First: paint 3 nails one color (green) and 2 the other color (yellow)
Second: cut skinny stripes of scotch tape and lay on nails in random directions
Third: paint over nails and tape stripes with the opposite color of the base already on your nails
Fourth: allow nails to dry completely before removing tape. Trust Me!
Fifth: cover with clear top coat
These were my last "fancy" nails before starting my new summer job at the Garden Center. They were just fun for a little something before sadly cutting my nails :( I really liked the look of the cheetah print on my nails from a previous design and thought why not try it as a tip only design. So there you have it haha.
First: paint entire nail a neutral color. I wanted a more solid tan but, this is what I had at the time
Second: use sharpie to draw cheetah design on tip of nails. Don't give it much thought. It'll turn out better
Third: use same color as base to add accent dots in the design
Fourth: cover with clear top coat
