31 Day Nail Challenge Day 30: Inspired by a Tutorial

One day left! Today's mani is inspired by the lovely Robin Moses. She has fantastic nail art and I'm amazed at how quickly she can draw too. I was trying to do this as quick as I could, but it still took long haha. Kudos to Robin!

The design I've chosen to do is this one here


It's so pretty, I wish I hadn't cut my nails short! They were getting so frustrating that I trimmed them and I am now regretting it (I couldn't hold a bowl properly when washing the dishes!). If only I had cut them tomorrow :/

Anyways, onto the pics :)

Robin's one turned out really nice. I like the way mine turned out too, but some of the colours were a bit off. The fern's were meant to be pale green and mine came out fluoro looking haha! Maybe I'll try again next time :)

What do you think? Let me know below!

  8. you are all too kind! <3

    @Kelly, I used acrylic paint for these. Most of the stuff I draw is with paint, unless it's dots, stripes or something similar (or if i don't have the colour for acrylic paint!)

    Just depends on which is easier to use, but I don't really like the finish of drawing with polishes when top coat is added!

  9. Gorgeous. I have trouble with the paints not lying well, they bead up on my polish. I tried to do an accent nail with acrylic paint and ended up fishing out my stripers.
