garden party

It was a beautiful day today and I wanted to do something fresh and floral on my nails to mimic that. I decided to go with something a little more like pop art or a vintage bright floral pattern--a look I hadn't tried before. For this I started with a coat of butter LONDON's Horse Power Nail Fertilizer and a coat of their Nail Foundation Flawless Basecoat. Next for the soft yellow base I painted two coats of butter's Jasper. To create the floral design I painted some parts in color first then outlined in black and others accented the color over the black. I started with the bright pink Primrose Hill Picnic for the  rose like flowers and the center of the yellow one. Next I painted the bright yellow flower around the pink with my favorite PIMMS. Next I added some leaves with butter's kelly green colored Sozzled on each nail. This next step was probable more difficult, as not only did I use Union Jack Black to outline and add detail to the pink and yellow flowers and leaves, but I also painted additional black flowers in two different styles and added stems and embellishments to each nail. On the black flowers that I just added a few dashes of the bright blue Keks with a dot of PIMMS in the center. On the other styled flower I simply added a cluster of dots with Primrose Hill Picnic. Once the design itself was finished, I painted a coat of SV topcoat for a glossy finish. 

Hope you like this little garden party on my nails!
