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...

Hello lovelies!

I'm so excited to show you these nails! They are kinda retro funky and they are also my Beach Towel manicure for the Summer Challenge. I really loved them on me so I wore them for four days and skipped on swatching :D I created a tutorial as well so you can give it a try! I'd love to see your recreations so feel free to share it on FB or let me know in the comments :)

For this manicure I've used Essie No More Film as a base colour, OPI Fly and China Glaze Sweet Hook for the side colours and dots.

You like? I did! :D
