Black and White Challenge Day 4


Hello,

This is my fourth post for the Black and White Nail Challenge. The theme for today's nails was to create a manicure using a white base with some color. This is my first attempt at doing one stroke flower and I really like how it turned out. I learned this technique on youtube from Tartofraises1


For this, I applied three coats of OPI Fit for a Queensland which is an off white color. Then using the red and yellow acrylic paint I drew a flower on each finger except ring finger on which I drew two half flowers. It may look kinda messy in the beginning and the flowers don't make any sense but it turns out fine when you put everything together ( I almost removed it after doing my first flower because it looked like a blob of paint). After it dried, I used a black acrylic paint to draw an outline of the flowers and some random dots on the side. Then using the brown acrylic paint and a dotting tool I made some dots in the middle of the flower.


PS: I am planning to have my first giveaway when I reach 100 members on my blog. So spread the word ladies.

  7. It happened also to me, I started drawing the flower (not this one, something similar) and everything seemed strange, so I wanted to remove it... but at the end when I put everything together it became marvelous! And yes, from Tartofraises you can get so many inspirations, she is full of ideas! :-)
    You did a great job, so beautiful! :-)

      I know this technique is tricky when you do it first time and yes tartofraises is a very talented. I am probably going to try couple of her techniques too.
