Hi!
Like my last post, today's nail art is also summery -- this time with a tropical feel!

| Polishes Used Deborah Lippmann Tip Toe Through the Tulips | Deborah Lippmann Laughin' to the Bank | Deborah Lippmann Spring Buds | Wet n Wild French White Creme | red acrylic paint |
A few weeks ago, I visited the Barnes Foundation art collection in Philadelphia. They had a couple of Rousseau's famous jungle paintings, and when I saw them I knew I wanted to translate the feel onto my nails.
I couldn't figure out how to translate them in a way that would also be beautiful until I saw a design Pshiiit Polish did awhile ago (her photography and nails are amazing, by the way -- if you haven't already, check out her blog or Instagram).
I simplified her original design to make it more Rousseau-like, and also because I'm not as skilled with a nail art brush as she is :")

| If you say Deborah Lippmann Laughin' to the Bank is not gorgeous, I don't know who you are |
Who are the nail artists/artists you look to for inspiration?
Thanks for reading!

so pretty, and I love that green!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is gorgeous :)
DeleteI like the colors you used and the nail art came out gorgeous. I do the same, if I see something that I like and I can imagine it on my nails, I try to pain them. Anything can be an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I completely agree -- very well said!
DeleteBeautiful nails, I love the combination of summery brights with the beautiful leafy green! :) xx
ReplyDeleteThis is such a stunning, feminine design! I love it :0
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteGreat job on the print! Laughing to the bank is a gorgeous polish and I'm not usually a fan of dark green! I like going to gnarly gnails for inspiration but honestly I'm inspired by a lot of other nail artists too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Same here -- I tend to not like green polishes in general. I haven't been keeping up with Gnarly Gnails recently but she does do great stuff!
DeleteWow this manicure looks just perfect!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this article with us <3
