For today’s design, I used this tutorial from Chalkboard Nails but skipped a few steps because it was so late and I was too sleepy. I was also a little scared as I was watching continuous episodes of “Walking Dead” and wanted to go to sleep quickly. I’m such a chicken! I’ve never done a flower print before so again I can think the 31 Day Challenge for allowing me to try new things!
I started off with Zoya – Shay as a base and then used OPI – You’re a Pisa Work for the flowers and then OPI – Black Onyx for the centers. The leaves were done with green acrylic paint. They’re actually kind of fun! I feel like I’m wearing curtains on my nails!
Be sure to check out the other fabulous ladies who are also taking on the 31 Day Nail Challenge!

haha jayne - how far are you in Walking Dead??
ReplyDeletei am actually in the middle of a zombie book right now - first time READING about them rather than watching them/killing them in video games and it still freaks me out! haha
i guess it's my fantastic imagination and the fact that i cant read through the scary parts fast enough. :)
Helen, I am ALSO reading a zombie book and it's scaring me!! I can't read it while I'm on my lunch at work because I get nauseated! After playing Resident Evil, I can't play zombie games. I start screaming!
DeleteI've only just started Walking Dead and I'm only on Season 1, Episode 3...looks good though!
Deleteoo what zombie book are you reading? haha and resident evil is so awesome! i love shooting zombies - usually with shotguns so they get blown further back even if you are not an accurate shooter. haha yes im excited for the 6th one to come out!
Deleteand i really liked season 1 of walking dead! plenty of zombies in that season haha
The book is soo cheesy! It's called "Dust" and it's from the point of view of a Jessie, who is a zombie girl. Hahaha, I want YOU on my side when zombies take over! You can have the shotguns and I will cower and hide!
Deletehahahaha the book sounds interesting though! i haven't heard of that concept. and LOL i'm not as good as you think. i've actually shot a couple rounds off a real shotgun before and missed every single target. but they were flying discs so as long as zombies can't fly, maybe i'll be better??
Deleteon a similar note, have you seen the latest Resident Evil movie?
(i also love how your nail post is becoming a huge zombie discussion)
I haven't seen it yet, but I've seen all of the others. As scared as I am of zombies, I am utterly fascinated with the Umbrella Corporation. When the first one came out, I had chills.
DeleteWere you skeet shooting? Thank GOD zombies can't fly! Flying dead corpses...I would never leave my house.
i really enjoy the movie series - i liked the most recent one better than "Afterlife".
Deleteand yes skeet shooting - that's the term i was looking for!
but flying zombies - very possible (well, i think so anyway) if birds (crows) start eating them... and then what about zombie mosquitoes?! hahaha can you tell i've thought about this before :P
wow you did a FAB job creating the flowers! :D
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty! Awesome Job! And I LOOOOOOVE The Walking Dead!!! I'm so excited for season 3!!1
ReplyDeleteThank you! Everyone has me so excited for the other seasons!
DeleteWho doesn't want to walk around with retro curtains on their finger tips? So cute, Jayne!
ReplyDeleteI used to be so tough with scary shows/movies. My brother and I would have marathons.. then I started living on my own. And now I'm a big wuss. Criminal Minds gives me nightmares! Lol.
LOL, thank you! I haven't watched Criminal Minds yet...I'd probably be scared too! I think I've gotten more scared of things as I've gotten older...and yet I still like putting myself through it!
DeleteGreat flowers! They are so cute! I love The Walking Dead! It's such a great show to watch!
ReplyDeleteEveryone seems to love it and I can see why! And, thank you!
DeleteThis is so beautiful! How long did it take you?? I'd love to be able to do that but I don't think my hands would be steady enough!

They didn't too long, probably about 30min for both hands? What's fun about this manicure is that the flowers can be random shaped blobs and they don't have to be perfect to look good!
Deleteaww they are just too cute! glad i found your blog. following you from the followerstofriends blog hop! im at www.makemeupmandy.blogspot.com :)

ReplyDeleteThat's so nice of you to say! Thank you!
DeleteThis is sooo cute!! I really love the colors you used.
ReplyDeleteI love floral/flower nails, I was actually thinking about doing them a few days ago but then I decided on fall nails. (:
I love your Fall nails!! I wish I could really draw :(
DeleteThey look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Meredith!
DeleteAw I love this, Jayne! I could see this as a dress print hehe
ReplyDeleteomg Walking Dead...I was watching Season 2 when it was out and I don't know what happened, but I lost interest in it :/ I was so into it during the first season! lol
The first season is pretty awesome and I have been loving it!
DeleteOh you're right, this makes a cool dress! It's very vintage in feel.
you're doing so well with this challenge!! the base colour you chose is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's one of the nicest nudes I have seen out there!
