Hey everyone! Here's my third manicure for this month's inspired by art theme for The Nail Challenge Collaborative. This design was inspired by this cool looking tree that is split into four sections to represent each season. I did four nails to represent each season and then for my thumb, I just did an accent nail with all the colors that was used.
Starting with my pinky nail, I have on China Glaze Starboard, Barielle Swizzle Stix, Julep Hayden, Barielle Gotta Have Fate, and Sally Hansen White On. With China Glaze Mahogany Magic, I used a toothpick to draw on the tree and its branches. Then I dotted various sized colored dots using Misa Green with Envy, Orly Ancient Jade, Barielle Welcome Ohm, Essie Mesmerize, Jessica Tangerine Dreamz, OPI Fiercely Fiona, and American Apparel Downtown LA. Finished with Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.
I went very simple with recreating the design. The leaves had some texture in them but when I attempted to recreate that, it kind of looked messy so I opted to just do dots instead. What do you think of my four seasons tree manicure?

Deletebeautiful mani! I like how you made each nail a different panel of the painting. I also think you simplified the painting nicely and translated it well into nail art... since nails are so small you often do need to simplify patterns/designs when putting them on your nails. I'm horrible at drawing so I haven't really done any freehand stuff on my nails yet
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind comment! Yeah, I wished I could have created it exactly like it but my nails were too small to fit everything, lol.
