The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Wallpaper - #2

Hello lovelies!

I'm back! I've been behind in posting manicures for the other challenges that I have going on this month. The sad thing is that I have most of the designs painted, it's just been hard finding the time to write the posts up. So, I'm stepping it up! Woo!

Onto the nails!

Here's my second look for the Nail Challenge Collaborative's wallpaper theme!

Here's what I used:

If you read my first post for this month's theme, I was really struggling with finding ideas. But luckily, I came across Wallpapers To Go which is literally just a site of hundreds of different wallpapers. INSPIRATION FOR DAYS (or years, who knows.) Anyways, this nail art was inspired by this wallpaper.

These nails started with two coats of Flame Warrior (previously reviewed here) and a layer of HK Girl. I then used my striping brush to paint on the branches and followed those with the leaves done with my detail brush. Everything was sealed in with another coat of HK Girl.

I don't have a polish the color of the original so I went with a darker color, but I like how these turned out! I kind of wish that I added more leaves and branches, but I'll remember this design for later.


Thanks for reading guys!
