Yesterday was a beautiful Spring day, I had the day off, & I took full advantage of it. In honour of the occasion, I decided some floral nails were in order. Originally I was going to just do some more negative space nails with pastels, but I discovered a bottle of Essie 5th Avenue in my stash I bought a few months back at Lawton’s, & decided red nails were in order. I’ve been loving all the Rifle Paper Co inspired nails that pop up on my Instagram feed, & while these are not even close to an exact recreation, I was inspired by this pattern initially.
For this manicure, the polishes I used were:
- Base Coat: Nailtek 2
- Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
- Essie 5th Avenue
- Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Sweet Tea
- OPI I Eat Maine-ly Lobster
- Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Pretty Piggy
- Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Orchid-ing Around
- Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art Pen in Magenta
- Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art Pen in Black
- Essence The Green & The Grunge
- Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Wet My Thistle
- Bundle Monster detail brushes
- Bundle Monster dotting tools
This design definitely looks very similar to this manicure I did a few months back. Something about floral on a red base just looks so good to me. & red nail polish in general… I’m so glad I found this gorgeous polish (& did I mention I scored it for only .99 cents?)
There is something just so lovely about floral. The more I paint them, the more I want to do them again. It was totally worth staying up the extra hour & a half to create them. I’m also going to keep attempting to recreate more patterns from Rifle Paper co. Their brand is such a floral loving girls dream! I pretty much want one of everything on their website (especially the phone cases… all of the phone cases!)
