Hibiscus Nail art

I recently bought a sarong dress at the beach and it had such a pretty print with a bunch of beautiful hibiscus that I just had to do my nails to match. So I remember I had tried flowers like that after seeing a post on Ash-Lilly's blog and it was one stroke art using acrylic paint. I Youtube it to get a refresher on what exactly I was doing. I watched this video (yes its in French)



I got started I used Wet N Wild white cream as the base for my ring finger and thumb for the rest of my nails I used Zoya Robin. Its not perfect but I love how it came out!

I like it so much that I had to do the matching pedicure! I said I would never post pics of my toes here but they came out better then my finger nails. I took these picture while I was out on a canoe with my kids at work so there is already some chips. IWARNING TOES PICTURES!

Have you ladies done nail art designs using acrylic paint? if not you need to go to your closest art store and pick up some paints because it is so much it come out so beautiful and it super easy to make any design!

Playing with Acrylic paint

I while ago I seen a post from Ash-Lilly's Lacquer Lust on one stroke nail art and she did his beautiful flower design and I just had to give it a try. I purchased some acrylic paint from transdesign and I always have tons of different size paint brushes. I used a small squared brush sorry no picture. This was my 1st attempt at this I can draw and paint but its much harder when you have a smalled canvas.
 

After doing this I realized it is  much easier to do designs with Acrylic paint then it is with drops of nail polish which should have been a Homer Simpson moment DOH! I then wanted to do more so I made my favorite character Hello Kitty in a Tokidoki Cactus suit. I really liked how it came out and I will probably do it in a mani soon.

Acrylic paint is now my go to for free hand nail art! Have any of you tried using acrylic paint for your designs?
