Nail Art- Roses!
Aug 22, 2010 by Violet
I’ve been playing with the 3D acrylic again and I wanted something to match my dress for Manifest on Friday. This is what came out…


|
I am slowly getting better with modeling the acrylics, I just need more practice! though I think some of the effect is lost because the layer of gel over the top was too thick.

I am very happy with how the painted roses turned out, this was my first time trying them too and I really like the effect.

Over all, quite happy!

My favorite of the 3D parts is most definitely the glittery hearts! Makes me think I need to use MOAR GLITTER :D

Did you all have a good weekend?

Well, my weekend is only just beginning. But most of the day, I’ve helped my family set up for my sister’s birthday party tomorrow (Sunday for us). Excited, but nervous. Hope it goes well.
Anyways, love, love, LOVE the nails. Those roses are just stunning, wish I knew how to paint them. You’re just so handy at everything! Hope your weekend was (is) good.

I hope the party went really well too! I think I’ll have to make a tutorial with the nail art after all of these requests :D
These are gorgeous! I love the painted roses so much. They look so detailed. Well done!

They are surprisingly easy if you have a small enough brush, I’ll do a tut ^_^
Oh my god I ADORE the roses! They’re just gorgeous!
Yay glitter!
My weekend is going okay, lots of Uni assignments to slog through.

Those are soooo pretty!! The roses turned out really cute! For the 3D parts, I especially like the little bows ^_^
Weekend is going well… although I spent most of today just babysitting a bunch over-excited little kids XD
Thanks Kari! baby sitting doesn’t sound too fun but I’m glad you had a good weekend!
ahhhh i love the glitter hearts!!!
my best friend lives in melbourne and he went to manifest, i am so so jealous…
my weekend has been quite boring. i did housework, tried to study, went to study group, did craft and ate takeaway with a dvd last night, bought a pair of shoes on eBay today… not that interesting :P

Kae recently posted..Happy Friday! Lets make you hungry
Thanks Kae! I think you’re the master of painted flowers though ^_^
These look fabulous. When I first looked I totally thought that you had done the roses with a konad, I only realized that you didn’t when you said so. I think they suit you very well.
That’s such an awesome compliment! Thank you so much :D
oh my god, i just stared these pics more than five minutes with a goofy smile on my face.
THEY ARE GORGEOUS ! me wants too ;;___;

XD Thanks Anna! You are so sweet to say that!
The little roses are so wonderful! I need more small brushes to paint with haha.
Well done on your nails! They looks great and I’m curious to the rest of your outfit that matches this.
Oh yes a small brush is totally required for designs like this. Heehee the outfit photos will come soon!
you’re so talented ^^ i wish I could paint nails so nciely :3

That means so much coming from you Jin! I am slowly getting better, just about practice now, I want to master the 3d roses!
I love the rose print it’s beautiful, you must teach us how to do it xoxo
Cate recently posted..A Very Merry UnBirthday to Me
I will make a tutorial soon :)
Those nails are so beautiful !! I love the rose print ~ You should definitely make a tutorial sometime on how to do that, as I would LOVE to know ! <3
And I had an awesome weekend ~ ;3 Got some new clothing and managed to sew the skirt to a wedding dress I've been working on !
I will definitely make a tutorial on it ^_^ Oh wow you’re making a wedding dress? That’s awesome, I’m glad it’s going well!
Hey Violet, so sorry about the lack of comments! I’ve been horribly busy and not even in a good way. It’s more like my friends aren’t getting along… I feel like i’m a high school again over how dramatic these fights are! I can’t believe that i’m 21 and I still have to deal with this :(.
Anyway, I was really impressed with your DIY furniture! Especially that chair, I mean DIY furniture usually looks a little dodgy but the chair looks like something you could get from a store! Haha your brain is amazing.
I’m also super impressed with your macaron tower, i’ve never had much luck with macarons… well they’ve never failed spectacularly, but they’ve never come out perfect despite how careful I am. Well, this weekend my brilliant boyfriend had the idea that I should make macarons (which I am not confident in) for a friend’s gathering over the weekend even though I wanted to make these chocolate toffee cookies (which I can do with my eyes closed, and they’re super yummy and impressive!) but whatever, we all decided it would be fun to make macarons. Let’s just say i’ve never seen such… lopsided ‘macarons’ in my life! It just makes me appreciate your tower even more!
Ah this comment is getting huge and I haven’t even gotten to your nails, haha, they’re lovely! I did notice a sudden giant trend in floral patterns in Japan when I went but the girls went totally overboard: floral skirts, shirts and nails and right now i’m still recovering from what I called a ‘botanical invasion’ of my eyes. You’re getting pretty good at acrylics I think! I’m hopeless so I can’t talk, but I love the bow and the frills, but the red flower is a bit… ahem lol.
Anyway I hope you’ll have a great week and i’m going to try to ignore my friends and get back into the blogging groove!
Tiff recently posted..Yep- bit off more than I can chew…
Hey Tiff! You don’t have to apologise at all XD I think friends always have drama and fight no mater how old you get, sorry it’s happening to you! I’m really glad you’ve been enjoying the posts though! Heehee I’m sure that even if your macarons were lopsided they were delicious! Oh yes the floral trend in Japan at the moment is a little crazy >_< I'm definitely not very good at acrylics yet, though practice makes perfect! I think the red flower looked much more defined before the gel top coat mushed over all the details hahaha! I will master flowers someday!! Good luck getting back to blogging and with your friends!
WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT? T-T
