Flashback Friday: Blossoms

This is an old one, but it's nice, simple flowers on an easy gradient:

On a side note, forgive the severe dryness of my skin, it's not been happy with me lately.

So this is a simple french done using Wet n' Wild's "Tickled Pink" with a lilac gradient sponged over top in "Lacey Lilac" from Sally Hansen. It's a nice, light, airy sort of design, which is why I like it. I tried a different way of doing the french tips, which resulted them being a tad thick. I think I'll stick to my old way, unless school teaches me a better technique.

They're kind of dented because these photos were taken after going to work and doing lots of manual labour.

The flowers were done using white acrylic craft paint.

Pink Hearts - Valentine's Design

Jan/29/2011

The base colour for this was "Tickled Pink" by Wet n' Wild after my attempts to make my own colour failed in a gloppy, forever to dry mess. On top of that a paler pink paint was used to make stripes, and finally some simple hearts.

On a side note, I wanted to attempt to film the making of this but completely forgot when I actually went to make them... Who knows I might venture into video-making one day, but for now I don't have the memory power for it.
As you can see, I managed to dent my index finger before it completely dried... just my luck -_-'
