I was experimenting at first on how to start this nail art. My 1st attempt was to paint my nails green then I let it dry. But when I started applying the red nail polish, it didn't blend well with the green undercoat. So I did the opposite. I first applied the red nail polish before adding the green leaf on top.
The polishes and nail art accessories that I used. Sally Hansen Double Duty base and top coat, black and green nail art pens, and Caronia Desire Frosted.
This is 1 layer of base coat, 2 layers of Caronia Desire Frosted. I didn't apply any top coat yet after this.
I let this dry first before adding the strawberry leaves.
I just drew simple triangle shapes on the uppermost part of every nail. Hmm ... it just occurred to me that this looks like tomatoes!
I drew the black dots last.
I was actually thinking whether I should paint white dots or black dots. The latter won. I wonder if white dots would make the design more visible from a distance?
After letting the black dots dry, I applied a generous amount of top coat. :)
I really enjoyed doing this regardless the fact that my sister thought they were watermelons when she first saw them. Well, it's not far fetched so she's forgiven.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Katrina. I think I should get another shade of green.
ReplyDeletebut i was quick to take it back. i really meant strawberries! O_o
ReplyDeleteI think you should use nail polishes that aren't frosted. the colors would be more solid. idk but i'm not fond of using frosted polishes on nail art...
ReplyDeleteI agree Kametoahiru, that I should have used a more solid color. But it was the only dark green I had. I will redo this design in the near future. :D
