Bright flowers

I didn't really know what to do for my nails. I wanted something pretty, but quick and easy. Que the flowers, my go-to art. These are simple flowers made with a dotting tool ( that didn't work like I thought it would). But they are fun and springy, like the weather finally!

I thought my dotting tool would work more like the end of a bobby pin ad make nice little circles. I guess the one I have it for pretty tiny dots or something because it didn't work that well. I had to really get a lot of polish onto it so my little flowers aren't perfect. But I still like them! I used a Sally Hansen quick dry for the the base. I think it's White on White maybe? I'm so bad at remembering the names. Then I added all the dots, starting with the petals and doing the centers last, all with Wet 'N Wild polishes. For the leaves I used two different colors. I started with the darker green, Sinful Colors is the brand I think, then I added a dot of a minty green, another Sally Hanson. I really like the contrast on the leaves. I think I'll use a creamier white next time though.

Paint Splatter

So I've seen these nails done before and I really wanted to try them. I finally had the perfect opportunity! I ran the Color Me Rad 5K on Saturday! It's a race where along the track, they throw colored cornstarch on you and spray you with colored water. It was so much fun and my shirt ended up looking a lot like these nails! Worked out perfectly. :)

I didn't do a very good job cleaning up because it was so messy and took forever to clean up as much as I did. I should have taped around my fingers like you would do with a water marble, but partway into doing this I felt like it was too late and it was already messy. But it was a lot of fun to do! Trying to get the right amount of polish into the straw to blow onto my nails was kinda hard though, sometimes I would blow and nothing would come out and sometimes (like the case with the ring finger and the yellow) a big blob would just come out. I could have redone that one, but I didn't really feel like it. I forgot to look at the names of all the colors I used but I know they were all Wet 'N Wild colors. I'll update later with the colors. 

I loved how this turned out though. It was different and a lot of fun! The middle finger (minus the dent) and thumb are my favorite and the ring finger is definitely my least favorite. I can't wait to try this with other color combos!
