I started with Essie Borrowed & Blue on all my nails. For the design, I used American Apparel Raccoon, American Apparel Downtown LA, Sephora by OPI Blue Grotto, Born Pretty Store Sweet Color black nail art liner, China Glaze Starboard, Jessica Tangerine Dreamz, and Nicole by OPI Hit The Lights. Use coupon code YCL91 for 10% off for Born Pretty Store. For tools, I used some makeup sponges, a dotting tool and a toothpick. For this design, I decided to skip top coat because I wanted the textures to be noticeable just like the artwork I drew inspiration from.
I love how my middle nail turned out even though its just incorporating the colors in the art I was inspired by. I'm a little disappointed with how the trees turned out though since I first tried dotting it then I went to sponging it. In the end, it turned into a bit of a mess. I still love the colors in it though. What do you think of this manicure?
This looks really great Lisa!!!
