I decided to paint pink roses with a vintage feel. I have done something similar a few months back that I called Bunch of Flowers. Usually, I don't really post nail art that I have previously done. But I'm starting to think that I should because I think different color palettes will yield different results to the same nail design. Do you think so, too?
First, let me show you the outcome:
One thing I really like about painting roses like this is that strokes don't really need to be perfect. Random squiggles does the trick!
I used 2 coats of Dazzle Dry Anticipation as the gray background. Perhaps you'd prefer a darker shade of gray so that the pink roses would really pop. As for me, I decided to use a medium gray as base to achieve a more dainty feel.
I hand painted this nail design using acrylic paints and a detailing nail art brush. Initially, I wanted to paint the roses with different shades of pink. But because the laziness kicked in, I contented myself with one shade. I think this would look more beautiful with different pink hues.
If you're looking for a Valentine's nail art idea is subtle and classy, I would definitely recommend the vintage rose design. Go ahead and customize it with your preferred colors to make it more personal.
Here's a closer look on the pink roses:
Did you notice that I didn't add dots to fill in the spaces like I normally do? I wanted to for added flair but I forgot! This what happens when I am anxious to finish a nail art because I wanted to go out and eat! But I like this still. And I am now learning to like pink, too. :)
I think this Valentine's nail art design would look stunning when you go out to celebrate love. It's feminine and timeless.

How pretty! My first nail art was vintage roses! I'm going to post it on my blog tomorrow. I hope you will check it out. I use Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet as the base and pink and white for roses. I like your color choices a lot. Very romantic. :)

ReplyDeleteBeautifully done! I wish I could accomplish these... would love to have them for Valentine's Day. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that you can! :)
DeleteGo for it!
I like the idea and the combination of colors! Only, the shade of gray doesn't really go quite well as the base. Gray is fine, but not that kind of gray. **For me! That is. Lighter, perhaps?
