I rarely do 'girly' designs, but every time I watch episodes of 'The New Adventures of Old Christine', I always see one of the pillows on her couch and think to myself that it'd make a great nail design. It is an oversized graphic rose print in turquoise, with brown vines and leaves on a cream background. I adore the color combination, and I totally dig graphic prints, and I really want that pillow. :-P Today's nail art is my interpretation of the fabric print of the pillow, I even DVRed the show so I could pause it when the pillow came on screen so I could use it as reference. Yes, I'm a huge nerd, this I know. Anyway, to the nails!
I used American Apparel Cotton as a base, with China Glaze Flyin' High for the roses, and MAC Rich, Dark, Delicious for the vines and leaves. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
Another new TV obsession? How I Met Your Mother. (Can you tell I've been watching Lifetime lately?) Neil Patrick Harris is a comedic genius, and I swear I laugh out loud more at that show than probably any other sitcom I've seen. It's so stupid, but ridiculously funny.
pretty! pretty! pretty! you guys are soo talented and creative! kudos!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutly fabulous! My favorite mani yet!!! :D How wonderfully talented you are!
ReplyDelete-Christina <3
I love this design. This and the last one are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteNPH is awesome. He just gets funnier and funnier on that show and I really believe he is the only reason it is still on.
great design, haven't seen the pillow but I'd buy it if it looks like that! How I met your mother is a classic! or legen, and I hope your not lactose intolerant cause the second part of this word is, dary!
ReplyDeleteit's perfect! love it!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's girly at all. Love those blue roses!
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if you're going to do any designs based on fan requests? Would love to see that on here since you accept suggestions and I think it would be a great for us to see. Love the designs though, keep it up.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful design! I though it was stamped at first glance :)
ReplyDeleteThat's ridiculously pretty! You're so talented :D
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this!!! Looks amazing :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I don't have the patience (or the steady hands... or the skill..) to do such amazing designs, but I wish I did! x
ReplyDeleteThose look almost like Charles Rennie Mackintosh roses. I quite like (and the color combo is great!).
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you can find pillows like that on Etsy. This is beautiful - I love blue and brown together.
ReplyDeleteSei bravissima!
ReplyDeleteI love this, very pretty. The colors go fabulously together and the design is beautiful.

ReplyDeleteOH I love these. So modern. I almost want to take your nails and turn then into a print fabric and make myself a sundress out of them.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! And i adore NPH as well! Barney Stinson is my hero, even though i'm a girl :)

Awesome!! I think I might even be able to duplicate this, 'cuz one of the BM plates has a rose that looks very similar! (I don't have your free-hand skill AT ALL)
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, HIMYM is hilarious!! I love that it's on Fox now in syndication - I only got into it last year, so it's nice to see the old episodes.
You need to youtube the How I met your mother video of "nothing suits me better than a suit" it's hilarious. I almost peed my pants...which I almost do all the time when I have time to watch that show! haha
ReplyDeleteYou are just now finding out about HIMYM?! What a shame, that show has been making me laugh for years! I encourage you to watch the series. The way the bring up certain things from the past is just hilarious! I'm not a fan of Christine but I now I wanna see those pillows!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely roses! Vintage-y patterns are the best. :)
