Vintage floral pattern nail art


Hello! This weeks nail art is inspired by vintage style floral prints. The base is Essie blanc, and the details are hand painted in acrylic paints, like normal. This was actually quite an easy design to do, and didn't take as long as I thought it would. As a result, I even painted my right hand! I usually just paint my right hand with a plain colour because it would be nearly impossible to recreate some of my other nail art using my left hand to paint. (I'm looking at you Starry Night...) So here it is below!

My Cinderella Hand!
As you can see, I was very lazy with the clean up of my other hand, haha. I always find doing the clean up such a chore, but messy cuticles are not nice to look at!

Simple Geometric Nail Art

Today's nail art is inspired by a design posted by The Nailasaurus recently. I really liked how simple and elegant the design was. Unfortunately, I forgot how difficult I always find striping tape, and I wasn't able to get the clean lines I wanted!

The colours here are Barry M's Gelly Mango, and the white is from Essie. It's the first Essie polish I've ever bought! They are so expensive, but I figured at least with a white I'll get full use of it. However, I was kind of expecting for the price I payed for it to be a lot better quality, rather than just regular polish, which is what I found it to be.

Also, exam season is upon us, so I don't know whether I'm going to have time to update this blog over the next few weeks! But hopefully, once all of my exams are over, I'll be able to come back and post far more frequently than I do at the moment. :)
