Hello :) For today I have a simple free hand nail art, inspired by a beautiful acacia tree, that I saw on my way home the other day. It was in full bloom – lots of bright yellow flowers stood out against green leaves. Such a great view!
I started with painting my nails yellow, and then I drew green leaves randomly over the yellow base. The manicure turned out very eye-catching, in a good or bad way – I don’t know %)
Here is a closeup:
I wanted to take pics of the nails with those acacia flowers, but ironically I was far away from the tree when I finally had time for swatches, and I couldn’t find another blooming one. So I used green leaves as a background for the nail art:
The products I used:
- Yellow Umbrella by Sephora – this yellow cream nail polish is not that great on it’s own, it applies streaky and uneven, and dries slowly. I had to do 4 coats of it, and still I wasn’t happy with the result :(
- Combat Khaki by IsaDora – for green leaves (the polish is well pigmented and good to work with)
- In the Army by IsaDora – dark green nail polish for outlines
- Thin nail art brush
Here I don’t have a top coat (which would have made the design smoother), but it’s because I wasn’t going to wear the mani for a long time. It was created on a whim and expected to last for a day at most. Next morning I removed the mani, tho I had fun wearing it :)
Thank you for reading and see you soon xxx
I like your nail art, too bad for the Yellow Umbrella and the application it’s a really good color
Thank you :)
It’s hard to find a quality yellow nail polish :( i’m starting to think there’s something about yellow colors that really makes them all streaky..
