Laura Ashley-ish

So today, I have on a manicure that I've been seeing around, first from JQ at Frippery Digits and then from Trincess at Emerald Sparkled.

It's a really pretty wallpaper/bed sheet sort of design with roses. I chose this color scheme because I've seen some Laura Ashley bed sheet covers with this sort of design and I really adore it.



I used 2 coats of Chanel's Nouvelle Vague as my base coat.

Then using the toothpick swirl technique, I created the roses using OPI Mod About You and Chapel of Love with a dotting tool. For more details head on to Frippery Digits as she linked a very helpful youtube clip demonstrating this technique.



Then I used China Glaze Refresh Mint for the leaves with a small nail art brush. Et voila!



Hope you enjoyed this mani. Thanks for reading! ❤

    And thank you for linking to my blog! That's so cool. :) I was pretty excited to find that tutorial although I had already fumbled through my roses . I want to try it again using that technique.
