Spring "Watercolor" Florals featuring Polished by KPT Roses for Juliet + Tutorial

Saturday, February 28, 2015
Hi everyone!

If you haven't seen my swatches of the Basic Series Thermals by Polished by KPT, which will be restocked tomorrow (March 1st), you can view the post here: Polished by KPT Basic Series Thermals & Nail Care

After swatching Roses for Juliet, I knew I wanted to create some sort of floral nail art to go on top.  The pink is so girly and Spring-ish, so I knew it would be the perfect compliment.  I thought it would also be cool to paint the flowers in a "watercolor" style using nail polish, so that when the base transitions to a different color the flowers would look slightly different too.

I wont write too much about it here, because I filmed a tutorial for the design and added my first voiceover for the instructions as well.  If you have any other questions though, feel free to leave them in the comments below. :)

Summer Pastel Floral Nails

Saturday, August 09, 2014
Hello everyone!

This post is going up at a pretty random time, but I'll explain the reason down below.  Anyways, I thought I would point a few things out first, one being that you may notice a change in appearance on the blog.  This past week, I've been completely re-designing it, and I've basically started from scratch doing all the coding myself.  It's not 100% complete, so you might notice a few more changes as the week goes on, but I'm pretty happy with the way it's going so far.  Let me know what you all think though!  Any ideas for a header??

Now onto what I'm really here to show you all today.  I created a new set of floral nails after seeing this really beautiful photo in my google searches.  It was a really lovely floral print in mostly pastels, but has several pops of brighter colors.  It has a sort of romantic, watercolor look to the photo with an amazing multicolored background, so that really spoke to me.  I just loved the combination so much, that I had to recreate them for the Nail Polish Canada Summer 2014 Nail Art Challenge.

Of course, the theme is "Summer", and for me, I just love to wear floral prints in the Spring and Summer, so I thought they would be perfect for the challenge.  I only have a few hours left to submit them, so that's why this post is going up this late!

I used several different polishes for the design, mostly pastels by Essie, including the gorgeous Urban Jungle as my base (pictured), and Fashion Underground, Under Where?, Blanc, and Tart Deco are in there somewhere too.  I might update with a full list later, but if you would like to know any specifics, don't be afraid to ask me in the comments below. :)

I hope you all love them!  And, if you would like to vote for me in the challenge, head over to the Nail Polish Canada page, and select "lacquerstyle.com" from the list (you don't have to be signed up or anything).  I would really appreciate it!


Thank you so much for reading, if you made it this far, too! :)
