Hi lovelies,
Happy Monday! Did you have a good weekend? What did you get up to? I actually took some major me time. It was fabulous. On Sunday we were meant to watch the new Hungar Games at Nu Metro Scene but they had no electricity so that was a bust. :/
I really wanted to wear some light and bright yellow polish and I thought it would look great to have some white flowers. Like daisies. Well, I call this a fail. Let me show you.
I started with 2 coats of China Glaze – Lemon fizz. Once that was dry I went to work with a dotting tool and Sinful Colors – Snow me white to make the flowers. You will notice the flowers on my pinky is different. I thought I would try using a brush to make flowers. I was going to do both different types but I couldn’t decide which looked worse. :/ I then went back with Lemon fizz to make the yellow dot in the centre of each flower. Topcoated and called it a day.
I have shared stuff I wasn’t 100% happy with before but I seriously considered not sharing this. I decided to share anyway because I would love to hear your opinion on flowers. Help me. Share your tips and tricks with me please. I am pretty certain the reason why I am not coming right with the one stroke flowers is because of the brushes I am using. Do you have any suggestions? Share your link, tips and recommendations with me please.
Thanks for reading,
Love this shade on you.

Thanks so much Candice. I really love this shade too 🙂
I like it though. Isn’t ugly to me or anything!
Awww thanks V! That is actually such a compliment. xxxxx
I think they’re cute, but I know the feeling of not being 100% pleased with your post/design! If you want to do the whole one-stroke-flower thing I’d look into some straight brushes. I recently got these http://www.bundlemonster.com/7pc-nail-art-decorating-brushes.html and they worked fabulously on paper. I’m nowhere near skilled enough to get it to work on my actual nails though, haha. I think using acrylic paint is easier than polish, too.

First of all, YOU are nowhere skilled enough? What nonsense is this? That means there is NO hope for me.
Thank you so much for the recommendation. I have actually heard of this set being amazing for one stroke flowers before. I will definitely have to get me some. I am a little scared of acrylic paint though. Perhaps I should just suck it and get some 😛
I think these are really cute but I didn’t realise they were supposed to be one-stroke. I recommend you watch some youtube videos for one-stroke, I like the ones by Lucy’s Stash and PiggieLuv. You need to use a flat/rectangular shaped brush for it. I also find it’s way easier to do two-colour than one-colour one stroke art so maybe try that!
I’m surprised nu metro didn’t have a generator. We watched the new Hunger Games on the weekend at a small independent theater and they were still going even though the power only came back on during the movie!

Oh no no no, these are just simple dotting tool flowers. 😛 I would love to do one stroke though and have gone through wheels and wheels of practicing. *sigh*. I will definitely have to look into different brushes. Thanks for the suggestions, Those are also my favourites. I will just spend more time on it. Thanks Kerry.
Oh the movie was showing but there were no refreshments or anything and we hadn’t eaten the whole day because we wanted to have dinner at Scene. So they just gave as tickets for another time.
As usual you are your own worst critic. I think they look very pretty. Who wants to see perfect daisies in any way? These look natural.
Hahahaha Thanks Juanita. You’re so right 😉
