PCFC - Small Flowers/Flower Beds 2/17

The next Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge is small flower or flower beds. This post will reveal where I was going back when I first posted that bright pink/green gradient. :) I was laying down the grass to make... flower beds!


To make these, I used my base of (China Glaze) Strawberry Fields and sponged halfway up/down the nail with Spring Green (Sally Hansen Insta-Dri). Then I used a medium sized dotting tool to create the flowers and small dotting tool for the centers. It probably would have been cool if I had used paper reinforcers and made a half moon mani out of this, but I don't have any, so oh well. :)


Colors used for the flower bases: Essie French Affair, SH Insta-Dri Lightning, Brisk Blue, and Urgent Orchid, Orly Charged Up, and Wet n' Wild Club Havana, Essence Chuck


Colors used for the centers: SH Insta-Dri Lightning, Orly Wild Wisteria, SH Xtreme Wear Twisted Pink and White On, Essence Gleam in Blue, and Nina Pro In A Tiff

What do you think? Color overkill or cute little flower beds? I liked how these turned out, but I felt a little silly wearing them out to language school. lol.
