[Nail Art] Cherry Blossom Pink

It feels good to be back from hiatus! =)

Today was such a nice sunny day, so I took some pictures of cherry blossoms on my way home.

So this is my inspiration for today's belated update...Will you forgive me??T_T

I photographed the flower by using a Android application called Retro Camera.
It's pretty neat!

Today's nail art is going to be....(drum roll, please~)

A glittery pink gradient with cute cherry blossom designs! =D
__________________________________________________________________________________

 Today's materials:
  • Vaseline
  • Sponge
  • Pin needle
  • Aluminum foil
  • Base coat
  • Clear polish
  • Silver glitter polish
  • White polish
  • Pink polish
  • Gold glitter art pen
 Step 1: Apply base coat

Like we always do ;D

Step 2: Apply Vaseline on your skin

To easily clean the upcoming mess! =O

 Step 3: Apply pink polish to sponge

By the edge of course!

 Step 4: Tap the sponge onto the nail horizontally

And tap away to make a nice pretty gradient~

 Step 5: Remove the excess polish on the sides of the nails

Easily removed thanks to Vaseline! <3

 Step 6: Apply silver glitter polish

Just over the gradient only!

 Step 7: After pouring some white polish on aluminum foil, dip the pin tip

Make sure you have just enough so it won't drip on the wrong place of your nail! =(

 Step 8: Make five white dots in a pentagonal arrangement

Like any cherry blossom petals would look like. =)

 Step 9: Lay pin needle 30 degrees from your nail and lightly scrape the middle of the circles

Away from the center in a radiating format! >=D

 Step 10: Apply gold glitter in the center of the flower petals with an art pen

You always need some sort of yellow tone for the pollen-producing organ of the flower.
(Asian nerd talk!) =D

 Step 11: Apply clear coat

Always neccessary for a long lasting nail art! ;)

Complete!
