How are you all doing today? I hope you
had a fantastic weekend filled with sunshine. I sure enjoyed mine, I
was due a little work break. I enjoyed taking my niece and nephew to
the park, frolicking in the sun. I finally had some time to sit down
and paint – I think painting is one of those things that relaxes me
so it felt good to have a little time out from everything else.
Did you watch the royal wedding?! Oh my
god.. I am such a sucker. As soon as Meghan was out of the car I
welled up at the sight of her dress. I don't think I'll ever get
married myself and that's fine but I still love to see the dresses and
the loving looks the bride and groom exchange. What a softie, huh?
Anyway, lets move on to some nail art,
I could chatter about all sorts all day long otherwise!
Today's nail art is inspired by the
current theme over at Tiny Canvas which is seahorses, you may
remember this design I did a while ago.. I wanted to do something
better.
I can't participate in all the
challenges any more due to work – and the fact that the themes are
now voted by the members which means I don't know what theme it will
be in advance. You guys know how organised I am and how I like to
plan my posts. Having a theme and having to do it in three days if I
am working is just too much pressure. Still. I got this one done!
I feel like there is very little to say
about this design.. I just painted. I know that's so unhelpful.
I began with OPI's 'Nail Envy' base
coat, I am literally recommending this to anyone who wants stronger
and longer nails. Next I painted one thin coat of ORLY's 'White Tips'
and once dry applied a thin layer of Pro-FX top coat.
With my sexy blank canvas prepared I
then moved in with my pure colour brush in size 10 and a multitude of
acrylic paints. Once finished with the design I then sealed it in
with a futher two coats of top coat and eventually added Barry M's
matte top coat on after.
What do you think of my
seahorse family? What's your favourite aquatic creature?
Thank you so much for visiting today,
my loves! Have a wonderful start to your week, may it be filled with
glitter and wonder! I'll catch you again on Thursday.

Awwww beyond cute Ithi. You have such a great eye for the small details that turn art into a story. The little seahorse on the right looks like she got a fright just before she ventured off of the safety of your fingers. And those bubbles. It makes it look alive. Beautifully done
ReplyDeleteI didn’t watch the Royal Wedding, but I’ve seen videos & pictures. They are such a stunning couple!
ReplyDeleteI really like this design! It’s so cute. I love the seahorse. My favorite aquatic animal is the manatee. 😄
How cute is this?! I don't think I'd ever have the skills to do this on my own though. Your nails look perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is so creative! I love the blue and the shadowing that you have placed on each and every nail. Spectacular!
ReplyDeletei never saw a painting in nails. Does it stay long? I'm an artist and wanna try painting my nails too. Im just worried that I might use some of those materials that are harmful to my nails.
