I started off with a base of OPI - My Vampire is Buff (adore this
color!) on all fingers but the ring finger and thumb. For the remaining
fingers I painted on two coats of OPI - My Favorite Ornament.
I
then proceeded to do the dry brush technique on the MViB nails using
Revlon Colorstay - Trade Winds and Zoya - Flynn. I wanted it to look a
bit wood grainy but I went in a bit too heavy handed for that. It still
creates an awesome effect though!
Next I went in with
white acrylic paint, which was a new experience for me. I used the white
paint to make the vines and leaves. I typically mess things like that
up so I thought I'd try the paint this time so that if I messed up I
could just wash it off. That sort of worked. Sort of.
I
filled in the vines with ORLY - Coachella Dweller and the leaves with
Sally Hansen Magnetic - Electric Emerald and Pure Ice - Creme Wild
Thing. I then just dotted on simple flowers with a Utes nail polish and
Wet N Wild - Sunny Side Up. I dotted those in the middle with My Vampire
is Buff.
I painted a fox on my middle finger. I love
this fox but it's a bit different from the fox in my inspiration. I
attempted the fox from my inspiration but it ended badly.
Anyway,
I've blabbered on enough. Here's the photo of my inspiration. It is a
card filled with cute little sticky notes. I have a feeling I'll be
using this item for more inspiration in the future.
