Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing on this fabulous
Friday?Are you glad that the week is drawing to an end? I'm working
today and tomorrow but I am quite happy about that, I like where I'm
working even if it is only temporary. I guess I forgot to mention
that going back has been really nice – I was greeted with hugs and
happy faces, it was almost like I hadn't been gone for two months.
Today's nail art is encouraging you to
have some lovely and relaxing vibes with a freehand zen garden. I had
big hopes for this nail art but the end result.. hrrm. Not quite what
I was picturing. I seem to be going through one of those awkward
unsatisfied phases again. Yay..

For this design I began with my usual
base coat, OPI's 'Nail Envy' and gave it a minute to dry. I then
moved on with two coats of ORLY's 'White Tips' for a nice smooth
canvas. I used a standard medium paint brush to create the sand and
water and my Pure Color brush for all the smaller details. I sealed
it all in with ORLY's 'Top2Bottom' base and top coat and eventually
added Barry M's matte top coat on top for a smooth ans non glossy
manicure.
What do you think of my
relaxing Zen garden? Are you in need of some relaxation this
weekend?
Thank you so much for visiting, have a
wonderful weekend and I'll catch you again on Monday.

I loved it. The colors are so soothing to the eye and both the lotuses are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI really wonder how you create such pieces of art of nails when I can't even get the paint right.
Again, very beautiful work. Don't let the dissatisfaction demotivate you. Let the appreciation be an added motivator.
What a beautiful mani! You can never go wrong, I loove how lotus went out and I love that it's pink!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting your job back, even if it's temporary (and about a month late...)
ReplyDeleteI won't tell you you're too hard on yourself, I guess all the compliments above me are proof of another beautiful manicure ;)
