ABC Challenge Day 6 - "F" is for...

Hello everyone! Its a lovely, sunny Bank Holiday weekend here in London and I plan on making the most of the 3 day weekend by spending it somewhere other than locked away in my office :) 

But before I head out for the sun lounger, I'm posting my sixth set of nails for the ABC Challenge  being hosted by Erica. We're up to "F" and it is for Floral/Flowers :)

I started with a base of Ciate Cutie Pie, then added flowers with LA Colors Metallic Red. Outline and details added with a striping brush using LA Colors Black Velvet and French White. Sounds simple eh? ;) Took me ages, but I am so happy with these. The colours worked well and the metallic red gives the flowers more depth than a creme polish would...








Love these. Loads. Can't wait to try it out with some other colours. You can see all of the entries for the ABC challenge on Erica's Facebook page. Check out what everyone else has been doing - using the alphabet opens up so many options!!!

  1. Wow! Absolutely gorgeous! You're right, the polish you chose for the flowers give them extra depth and that little extra. Beautiful!

    1. Thanks! It was more luck than judgment with the colour choice, but I was super happy with the result! Luckily I have the full range of their metallics :)
