My Vintage Nails

18 comments

Here was my entry for my vintage nail design challenge:
I was inspired by floral patterned wallpaper and antique mixing bowls. My grandma has some of those colorful bowls with the white pattern applied around the center... This reminds me of them.
Base Color- OPI "Greenwich Village"
Teal Dot- China Glaze "For Audrey"
Flower- Konad Plate M20 (in White Special Polish)
Red Dot- Stripe Rite (Red Glitter)
I never know when enough is enough. I'm glad I took photos of my nails before I added the red dots because I think I like them better that way.
I really wanted to use all 4 colors though...

    I agree, perfect nail shape (as said in my mail ;) ).

    The design is so nice, I really like the stamping - it's very clear.
    Why topcoat do you use over stampings - you surely know some are smearing =/

    Cali369- Thank you!

    Tennsley- Thanks :) It was very simple and easy to do!

    Stephanie- I like it best without the red dots. There is more emphasis on the flower that way! Thanks for stopping by!

    Dollface- Thank you :) I'm very picky when I stamp! If it doesn't look perfect on the stamper then I don't put it on my nail! Also, I make sure I use a good amount of the Konad top coat so I don't drag my design!

    Trincess- Thanks! I've been trying shape my nails better lately! I'm glad someone likes them!! :)

    Peripatetic33- Thank you!

    LaLadyBunny- Thank you! I use Konad top coat when I stamp. I use a fair amount of it on my nails so it doesn't smear. If you don't use enough, it will drag your design like other top coats do...

    April- Thanks :)

    Nihrida- Thank you! Me too! The more I look at the picture with the red dot, the more I hate it!

    Tassa- Thanks!! It seems too simple to be stunning though, to me anyways! :)

    ABOP- Thanks :) And thanks for commenting!

    I like both versions! And too think you were inspired by china!

    Both versions are fabulous in their own way. :)

    those are awesome, they really do remind me of vintage kitchenware.
