Let me start by saying I absolutely love this manicure! I really didn’t know what colours it inspiration I wanted to use and it just all came about and I love it!

I started with a Morgan Taylor polish called P.S I Love You (one of my all time fave books!) and Barry M Silk Polish in Truffle.

I used dark lilac, mint green, lemon and white nail pens for the stripes and flowers.

I striped the thumb in white, added lilac splodges and whilst wet added the yellow to make the centres. The leaves were then added once the flowers were dry.

My other favourite was the little fingers where I used the lilacs to stripe petals working away from the yellow centre corner. I then added bigger green leaves and some white lines to give texture to the leaves.

The confession on this is this was done last week but lasted about 5 days , which, considering I broke about 4 nails during that time, I think is pretty good!
