I used Essie Borrowed & Blue on all the nails. For the lily pads, I used China Glaze Starboard with a dotting tool to help create the shape. Then I stamped with American Apparel Downtown LA using a flower image from BM-313. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.
I thought these turned out alright. The lily pads kind of look like big green blobs here and the flowers I stamped on top were a bit too big. What do you think?

Your nails always looks so beautiful, Lisa! This mani is adorable, btw! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica! I try my best.
DeleteLisa, this one is beautiful!! I love that it's on blue and not white too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cait! I choose the blue since it most resembled water to me.
DeleteI love your take on this! So creative!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stephanie!
DeleteI love your different take on this theme! The flowers are pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amber! Now I realize what the theme was suppose to be after seeing everyone's manicures today though. At least everyone seems to like my take on the theme.
DeleteSuper cute Lisa!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bridget!
DeleteI love your take with the lilies and lilypads. I think it came out perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you Savannah! I feel a little dumb that this wasn't really what the theme called for. I'm happy to hear everyone's liking it though.
DeleteCute take on the theme!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteCute! I see you put your own twist!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tiffany!
DeleteI love your interpretation of the theme! I kind of wish I did little lilypads and frogs now that I see this! so cute!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I actually didn't know a pond mani was a technique until I saw the other posts for the theme, lol.
DeleteI love this! It's fresh, lively and very cheerful, even if it's not what most people think of as a pond mani. I call this a fabulous victory. ;D
ReplyDeleteAww thank you!
DeleteI'm so glad I'm not the only one that didn't get the theme! I have to say though this mani looks incredible.
ReplyDeleteI know! When I saw the other posts on the theme, I was like "Oh, so that's what a pond mani was". Yours was a cute take on the theme too.
Deletelove your interpretation on the theme!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI think it looks awesome! It's so creative and pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica! After finding out that the pond mani was an actual technique, I felt so clueless but I'm happy to hear everyone is liking my take on the theme.
DeleteThis is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteI like how abstract-y it looks!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gosia! I'm happy to hear that.
DeleteSuper cute! I love the lily pad idea--how clever!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chelsea! I wished I executed the lily pads a little better though.
