The Fancy Side

Some of my bloggy girlfriends and I decided to do another inspired by post again. We had so much fun the first time seeing how we all interpreted the inspiration piece differently that we picked another one. 

This time around our inspiration post was these rainbow swirl doodles. It posed quite the challenge for me, but I think I did it justice! For my base, I started with OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around. Can we talk about how this is the perfect polish? I love this nude color and need to wear it more. 

I then used Sally Hansen I <3 Nail Art pens in Magenta #390, Yellow #320, Turquoise #450, and Orange #330 plus China Glaze The Grass is Lime Greener to draw on the swirls. The Nail Art pens are so great. I need get these in all the colors!! 

Be sure to check out how the other ladies interpreted the art below. I love each design!! 

So Cynthia, Voni, and I got a wild idea to collaborate on a post. We decided to recreate this particular print from Society 6. Part of the fun of doing something like this is to see how we all interpret it differently. I went for a fairly spot of version, except my flowers are a bit abstract vs. literal. 

My base is OPI You're So Vain-illa. I then added chevrons using mini chevron nail vinyls and OPI 4 in the Morning. I did the flowers with Sally Hansen's I <3 Nail Art pens in Orange #330, Yellow #320, Magenta #390, and Turquoise #450. I then topped everything off with Revlon's Matte top coat. 

The nail art pens are amazingly easy to work with and they have a fine tip that allows you to get great fine detail when using them. I can totally see myself using them in the future. What do you think of my version? Check out Cynthia and Voni's versions below!
