Did I mention that I participated in a secret santa nail polish swap? I think I might have, anyhoodle, I got this gorgeous Mint Green and we all know I'm not a huge fan of green, but this minty green is so pretty and it has been calling my name for a while now. Super thankful to Amanda over at the Nail Polish Enthusiast for including me in the Halloween/Autumn swap and for drawing my name - our next one is coming up around Christmas and I'm super duper excited!!
I found this really pretty vintage rose with dots mani over at CDesigns 92 and vintage roses look so pretty with minty green, so I decided to try and recreate it! I wasn't happy with my first try - I covered my black nails with glitter and it totally didn't go with the pink vintage roses, so I had to try again. This time, I did all my fingers, not just accent ones and it totally turned out how I wanted it!! Up first is my successful attempt!
Here's the first attempt - it wasn't horrible, I just wish I didn't add the glitter!
What I used for attempt #2
Base Coat: Orly Bonder
Base Color: Finger Paints - Papier Mache
Roses: Urban Outfitters - No Name Neon Pink and Wet n Wild - Tickled Pink
I used acrylic paint for the dots.
Top Coat: Seche Vite and Pro FX Quick Dry
What I used for attempt #1

Roses: Revlon - Flirt and Nyx - Nyx - Dolly Pink
Glitter: Sally Girl - No Name Pink Glitter
I used acrylic paint for the dots.
Top Coat: Seche Vite and Pro FX Quick Dry
