I did this nail art while waiting for my emails to be sent. Our internet connection is quite slow this time. I could not open a new tab or wander to other sites, it might make it a lot slower.
To protect my nails, I used Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Clear Nail Hardener for my base. Next I used San San Nail Polish in Amethyst. For the flowers, I used Nail Art Stamp, plate number M20 and Caronia Nail Polish in Sun Kissed. Lastly, Caronia Quick Dry Top Coat to protect my nail art.
One of the most common nail arts are flowers. This is usually done using a dotting tool or any tool that you could use to make dots. It is commonly composed of five to six dots and one in the middle. To change it a little bit. I made a sunflower nail art, which have more petals and they were elongated. I have tried different tools to make those petals. First, I tried using a thin brush. The problem for me is I had a difficult time making the petals look the same and it took me a long time to finish a flower. Next, I tried using a dotting tool. I drag the dotting tool to make an oval shape. The problem I encountered was the base color sticks to the dotting tool and nail polish as I drag it, producing stretch lines around the petals. And then, as I was cleaning my nails, pushing my cuticles, I thought, maybe I could use the flat side of the cuticle pusher. Since it is straight and flat, I thought that I could use it like a dotting tool and produce an oval shape. And I was right. It was easier to use and produces better looking petals.
I used San San Soleil Collection Nail Colour in Moss Green for base. Then, San San Nail Polish in Tropical Lemon for the petals and for the seeds, San San Nail Polish in Seal Brown
