Hello loves.
It’s still weekend for me as it’s a public holiday today. I hope you’ve had a great weekend.
Time for another week of #52weeknailchallenge hosted by Polish Portfolio. As always, you can follow this # to see what other people are creating and you can find the list of prompts for this year below.Image
The prompt this week is flowers and this wasn’t hard at all. I love flowers on my nails and they are always some of my favourite nail art. It really came down to ‘how do I choose’ but even that was easy once I started going through my plates. I recently added some flower tattoos to my sleeve and I chose flowers that were my mom and dads birth or astrological flowers. Turns out my dad is a daffodil guy and when I saw the daffodils on my plate I knew I had to do it. Especially with it just being father’s day. Let me show you what I did,
I started with 2 coats of Colour Club – Silver lake on my middle and ring finger and 2 coats of China Glaze – Recycle on my pinky and index. I then stamped on my middle and ring finger using Lina Feeling shapely 01 and Mundo de Unas – Light grey. While that was all drying I started with the flowers. I stamped with BP-L067 and Mundo de Unas – dark grey. I then filled in the flowers using Essence – Shade of happiness and Essence – Love is in the air. I also used China Glaze – Emerald bae for the leaves. Once it was dry I applied it over the stripes on my middle and ring finger. I topcoated and tah-dah!
I actually quite liked how this turned out. I wouldn’t have looked at the daffodils twice before but now I am kinda glad I used them. I also of course like the yellow and grey together. I even stamped with a grey instead of the black hoping to keep it all in the same hue. What do you think? What are you favourite flowers or flowers that are meaningful to you?
Thanks for reading,
Love this Mich! It’s really stunning! And your nail shape totally complements it too.
Ah thank you so much! I am so bummed my nail broke because I miss this shape and length already. 😉
Beautiful!!! And the meaning behind the flowers makes it even more special 🙂
The flowers with the most meaning to me are muscari (if that’s what they are called in English, we call them blauwe druifjes over here) and snow drops. The muscari were my dad’s favorite and the last thing I gave him before he passed away. I still have that exact same plant in my backyard and every spring it’s like he’s saying Hi when the flowers appear. And the snow drops are the first flowers to appear every year and they remind me that no matter what happens, there’s always something new waiting to start.

Ah that is so beautiful! What a lovely reminder and connection to have. My dad loved gardening and when we bought this house we had great plans for him to do things in the garden. Unfortunately he never got to move in so I am trying to do a small veggie garden anyway.It’s such a nice connection.
