Black and White day for the 31 Day Challenge - woot woot! Best color combo ever! And of course it's what I used for Polish Days - if I had any forethought, I would have done something different - and I've even got a color coded calendar!!! I shopped around google for some inspiration and found some fabric that I loosely based this mani on - I wish I had the patience to track down the link to the photo, but I don't....how's that for dedication?
Just a note on my recently ovalized nails - I'm really starting to dig them and can't wait until they grow a little longer. With my square nails, my polish would always chip on the corners with these ovalized puppies - THEY DON'T! This mani lasted two whole days with absolutely no chipping - amazaballs!! I'm sure it would have lasted another day, but I was bored and wanted something new!!
Base Coat: Orly Bonder
Main Color: Essie - Licorice
I used acrylic paint for the flowers
Top Coat: Seche Vite
As always, don't forget to check out the other amazing art the talented ladies below have done for Black and White Day!! Check back on Monday for METALLIC!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much :)
DeleteThis looks fab! I'd Iove to see a few random yellow ones, like Marc Jacobs Daisy!
ReplyDeleteOMG, great minds think alike - I was totally going to do a random colored flower but since this is black and white day, I skipped it!!
DeleteI'm really digging this. I love flowers but for some reason I never think to use them for nail art! I dig the oval nails too. I wish I could pull off a different shape, but my nails look really bad any other shape than square.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much - I do miss my square nails, but think this shape may be more me.....it's going to be tough to get them back to the square shape :)
DeleteWow, it looks like a vintage 60s print! So pretty :)
