Hello lovelies,

A while ago I've tried one-stroke nail art for the first time so this is my first stab at it. I still can't do nice leaves so it's just poppies :)

The pistachio green base colour is Zoya Tracie and poppies are painted with acrylic paint. I like the result very much but I think I still don't have the right brushes. If you do one-stroke on your nails and have great brushes then please give me some advice as to where to buy 'the good ones'. 

I still have to practice a lot before I'll be any good but it's a start... hat down for you ladies who create beautiful one-stroke manicures, it's not that easy!

Hello lovelies!

Today is a great Summer Challenge topic - Buttercups! Buttercups are little bright yellow flowers which I tried to paint on my nails :) I've also tooks pictures as I painted the nails because I had some requests to show how I do shading and the painting generally.

I've used SpaRitual Optical Illusion which I mixed with Rimmel Green Grass just to get a bit lighter shade. Then I started to paint the buttercups...

Here is a tutorial for this manicure in more detail. Sorry it's so cramped but there was a lot to fit in!

And this was my inspiration - lovely buttercup flower :)
