Cherry Blossoms

I love the background on this mani.  I did several coats of an iridescent glitter, a green/blue polish on the ends, blue/green glitter over the green/blue polish and the iridescent glitter over the whole nail.  Then I added the branches with striping polish, flowers with dotting tool, and added a few more branches.

This was a time consuming mani to do, but I love the way it came out.  Next time I want to try it on a gradient base color.  I did the orange background first, painted the stripes with my black striping brush, filled in the tips with black polish and added the white dots with my dotting tool.  There are many tutorials on youtube of this mani.

Leopard Print + Shatter

For this mani I painted the whole nail pink, added a white stripe diagonally across the middle, did the leopard print with my dotting tool, outlined the white with black striping polish, and finished with black shatter.  Whew! LOL!
