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
(Asian nerd talk!) =D
Step 11: Apply clear coat
Always neccessary for a long lasting nail art! ;)
Complete!
