Orange-tacular Floral Ruffian!

China Glaze Japanese Koi (two coats) topped with Zoya Tanzy (two coats), all topped off with Essie Matte About You topcoat (you guessed it, two coats). Dried flowers are from Born Pretty Store, and I attached them with Orly Top 2 Bottom topcoat.

Here come the pictures!

White with Dried Flowers

This is two coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White On with some dried flowers. This is a great white polish. I love this manicure so much that I couldn't wait until after cleanup to take pictures and post. The flowers are from Born Pretty Store. I just took all the colors I have and randomly (and gently!) pressed the flowers into the wet polish. I topped this with a few (maybe 3?) coats of Out The Door quick dry topcoat. Thanks for looking!

Dried Flowers!

Hello there! Here is my first attempt at putting dried flowers on my nails. The color is China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise, which is absolutely gorgeous. It's a neon turquoise with some pearly shimmer. Without topcoat, it has a satin finish. I used one coat of Seche Vite on all nails except my thumbs, on which I used about three coats to smooth out the roughness from the flowers. I got the dried flowers from Born Pretty Store, and have seen some at Sally Beauty Supply as well. I put a drop of topcoat on each thumb, picked up the flowers with tweezers and secured them to my nails. I pressed down gently, and then applied a few layers of Seche Vite to smooth things out.

Oooh, and the bonus foot! My toesies are wearing OPI's Flashbulb Fuchsia. And excuse the chip on my index finger, plznthx.

I really love this manicure, and it was very easy to do. I am a beginner at nail art, and I think this turned out great.
