Spring color polka dots

Another Pinterest inspiration...

Spring 2016 Floral!

I was inspired on Pinterest, after many months of silence and bare nails, I'm getting back in the game! 

Absent blogger returns

Hello old friends, we meet again! I have been so very busy, remodeled and sold our old home, bounced around 2 rentals and had our new home built and bought and just moved in! I foresee some new nail art coming very soon and I'm excited about it. In the meantime, here are some designs that never made the blog since my absence! You will notice I had a brief fling with at home acrylics, it was fun but I'm glad that's done and I'm back to natural:

Pretty Purple Roses

Some pretty, purple roses to make you smile on a wet spring day!

Not much explanation needed here, just wanted to paint some roses, so I did...ENJOY!

Spring Color Swatches

I'm trying to make a comeback here, life has been very busy with many changes & getting around to blogging has fallen on the back burner. I haven't even been painting my nails much, it's been odd & a little sad, but when you have big projects on the line such as remodeling a home to sell, moving into a rental, taking real estate agent classes & tying things up to quit your current job, nail painting doesn't seem quite as important.

Anyhow, with spring already here & so many gorgeous spring colors dancing around in my head, I had to take time to paint.

Inspiration

I guess with the home remodel I have paint swatches on my brain & I wanted my nails to look like I was trying to pick the right color to go with, so I swiped some random "test swatches".

Pale Pink Daisy

Click flower for link to source

My inspiration, for this delicate spring design, is this pale pink daisy I found. I used one coat of Wet N Wild Sugar Coat & one coat of e.l.f. Fairy Dust. As usual, acrylic paints were used to do the detail. It's raining out today, but there's something about a pretty spring floral that brightens up the day!

And Spring arose on the garden fair,

Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;

And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast

rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant"

I couldn't pick my favorite picture, so I've added all of them, Enjoy!
