DIY; Floral Nail Art

If you follow me on Instagram you have seen the photo above, and if you saw this post you will have seen these nails as well. Today I am going to show you a DIY tutorial on how to do Floral Nail Art. Sometimes these are called Vintage flowers, sometimes Victorian, sometimes Antique. They are perfect for spring and summer. So here is the How To, step by step guide on Floral Nails!

Supplies;

Light Blue Nail Polish (I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Blue-Away)

White Nail Polish (I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White On)

Light Pink Nail Polish (I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Presto Pink
mixed with the white but I would suggest just finding a lighter pink)

Dark Pink Nail Polish (I used an old covergirl boundless color that has long since been dicontinued)

Green Nail Polish (I used Nicole by O.P.I. in Green Up Your Act!)

Base Coat

Top Coat

Paper Plate

Toothpicks

-A paper plate works best for making tiny pools of color to then paint on with toothpicks. 

-Paint your nails with your clear Base Coat (always always do this!)

-Paint your nails with the light blue polish. Thin layers will prevent bubbles and clumps!

-Using the white polish and a toothpick, paint on a few designs. I did vertical stripes on my middle finger and polka dots on my pinky finger.

-Using the light pink polish paint on flowers. They really just need to look like little lumps. They can absolutely be imperfect. I did 5 on my thumb and ring finger, one on my middle, and one or two on either my pinky or pointer fingers.

-With the dark pink nail polish, use a toothpick and paint a few squiggly lines on each flower. I do two or three. There is no real system to use, just paint whatever you think looks best.

-Using the green nail polish and a toothpick, paint leaves on. I did one or two leaves per flower, whatever fit and looks the nicest will do.

-Now clean up around the edges with a cotton tip and some nail polish remover, and you are done!

-Yes, I realize the left hand is so much better than the right, but I'm working on it!

Sing that Body Electric

Boston really does have the best alley ways, a little bit of exploring and you find the most interesting little spots. Oh, and Body Electric? Lana Del Rey really does have the best songs.

Spring Blooms

Here are some photos quickly snapped outside of my home this weekend, intertwined in the Pear Tree Blossoms, wearing vintage high waisted Liz Claiborne jean shorts that I made. a sheer top from Forever 21, a sequined bra from Aerie, Pearl Bracelet my grandfather got me at a market in China, and a Triangle hand harness I made. Spring Blooms are always the prettiest.
