I will make this short and sweet as I pulled a longer day at work and got home much later than I had anticipated, ate dinner at 9pm and then showered at 11pm. All in all, I should be sleeping now! This month, the CBB ManiMonday crew and I are dedicated to bringing you the best in flower power so I am starting off the month with some rather messy, sketch flowers which look pretty awful from far away, but less of a trainwreck up close!
PR samples
I started off with two coats of Essie Dye-Mentions* which is honestly one of the nicest baby blues I've used and then drew on some petals with a wide, flat brush with white acrylic paint because I wanted a "sketch" look. This DID NOT turn out as well as I had hoped so I outlined the petals in black in the hopes of making these look more like flowers than fails. I gave them some dotted centers with Essie Avant-Garment* then a few more dots in the negative space around the flowers. I added a layer of top coat and the rest is history!
