This is such a fun floral pattern - perfect for any season really. I was actually inspired by Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires of the City floral pattern. This design is fun because it doesn't have to be perfect!
This is such a fun floral pattern - perfect for any season really. I was actually inspired by Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires of the City floral pattern. This design is fun because it doesn't have to be perfect!
First step is to paint your base polish. For this particular design, I used Sinful Colors "Calypso."
Next, use a thin paintbrush and a light pink acrylic paint to make the basic flower shapes.
Next step is to start the stems and leaves. I liked to start with a lighter green first.
Next, use a darker green paint to add depth to your stems and leaves.
Back to the actual flowers, use a red or dark pink paint to add shadows to the flowers. Short, thin strokes are key.
I always like to highlight my flowers so in this step I used my white paint to do so.
Lastly, I painted white flowers around the others. Super simple and they don't have to be perfect!
Lastly last, for this particular design, I used matte top coat.
