Flowers and Dots!






I am SO excited!! This is my first post and I can't hardly believe it! I've been wanting to start a blog for the longest time! I guess we'll see where it goes :) Also, please bear with me as I figure out all of the formatting quirks on Blogger!

This design was inspired by a post on another blog, Brit Nails, who recently posted a look based on the "One Stroke Flower" technique. I decided that I also wanted to give it a try, but after looking at a tutorial on YouTube, I still didn't quite get the hang of it but went for it anyways! This was also my first experiment with using acrylic paint for nail art designs, and it was definitely a positive one and something that I will store in my arsenal for the future. Anyhow, I enjoyed creating this fun design and I think it's fun and somewhat sophisticated (at least from a distance). What do you think?

The base color is Deborah Lippmann "Billionaire" and the glitter polish is Cirque "XX". I tried to include a macro shot of XX, but it came out a little out of focus. Ah well. You can still catch the beauty of all those glitters up in there :P

Thank you for visiting :) I hope you like it!

P.S. If you're curious, "estival" is a technical adjective referring to "belonging to or appearing in summer." It was perfect for my blog, which I doubt will be able to continue regularly throughout the school year, so for now will just be summer fun :)
