Striped Vintage Rose Nail Art

Today I have some awesome vintage roses nail art to show you.  It was actually inspired by a scarf I have but unfortunately I don’t have a picture.

The roses are the same as the ones I did in my older vintage rose nail art post which you can see HERE. The only difference is that I have added a striped background using striping tape. 

Lets take a look at the picture…

Polishes I used:

Duri Rejuvacote

Essie 3in1 Base

Barry M Matte White

Wet n Wild Ink Well

Barry M Bright Pink

Barry M Blood Orange (detail on roses)

Catrice Rambo No. 5

Sally Hansen Lickety Split Lime

Seche Vite

I also used:

Striping Tape

Dotting Tool

Thin Nail Art Brush

For the striped I first painting the white polish, letting it dry, then adding the striping tape and painting over it with the black polish. When I finished I peeled away the striping tape and there you have perfectly done stripes. 

For the roses I added pink dots the size I wanted the roses and spaced them out how  wanted. I then used a thin small bristle nail art brush to add details in white and red.

 For the leaves I had to mix Rambo No.5 and Lickety Split Lime to achieve the colour I wanted. 

I love how it turned out and actually wore this for 3 days which is shocker as I struggle wear a mani for a full day.

Let me know what you think!

And thanks for reading!!

P.S. apologies for the dry cuticles (lazy day) and not so great lighting... dunno what happened here.

Nail Art: Vintage Photo Film Negatives

Today's nail art is inspired by those old film negatives you used to get before everyone got into digital cameras. I actually started this manicure going for another look then this came to mind so I did this instead. 

I only have one decent picture of it, but I think it does a decent job of showing off the mani.

Lets take a look...

Polishes I used:

OPI Nail Envy Soft and Thin

China Glaze Liquid Leather

Barry M Grey

Barry M Matte White

Seche Vite

I also used a medium length striper brush and short thin nail art brush. 

Not my neatest nail art, and it took me a while to figure out the best way to do this quickly and precisely, I think next time I try this it will be much easier and look a little neater. 

I used the striper brush to make a thick grey line (Barry M Grey and Matte white mixed together) in the middle of my accent nails and 2 very thin ones on either side of it. I then used the same striper brush to make the black lines going across the thick grey stripe in the middle. Using the smaller brush I made the line across the 2 thin grey stripes on either side. 

I'm not very good at explaining but I hope you understood what I did.  :-D
