Green Swirls Nail Art



If you thought I was going to leave that pink alone from the last post, think again. Shortly after applying that pink, I decided to spruce it up with some nail art.

What to do? That's the question I asked myself. First I thought of a checkerboard design or something along that line. However, as I began to start on my right hand my plans did not go as I hoped.

So, I changed my mind. I painted over the mistakes on my right hand and started fresh. (I know I probably should have removed and redone the entire thing but what can I say I'm sort of lazy) I attempted to draw swirls on my nails. I've wanted to do some design like this for quite some time. I really liked the way it turned out.

For this nail art, I used NYC Hint Of Mint on top of Diamond Cosmetics Cotton Candy. My inspiration for the color choice was indeed candy. :)
Enjoy!

To do this I used a brush, purchased at Michaels, and placed random swirls all over my nails.

Finally, to prove I'm rather lazy on my right I decided to paint bows instead of swirls. I know my hands didn't match. But isn't that sort of cool? No, it's not but it's the excuse I'm using to make myself feel better.

What do you think? I'm surprised how good the swirls came out. I really do like the color combination too. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have any other suggestions of nail art I could do? Leave them in the comments. 

On To The Next Polish,
