Happy Mother's Day to all the Mum's out there.I hope you are getting pampered and look after on this special day. I have a Mother's Day nail mani today. This is also for the Finger Food’s Theme Buffet Challenge/Mother's day!
Items I used.
Sinful Colors polish in Snow me white.
Saffron polish in Pearl Pink.
NYC top coat.
Black nail art pen.
I took the inspiration from my Daughter Kim's bedroom curtains. Kim was the one who gave me the idea so I thought I would give it ago and do freehand painting these flowers onto nails!
I started off the mani with a white base coat to make the pink color pop more.then when dry I painted the Pink polish on each nail. I carefully started to copy the flower pattern freehand onto each nail using the nail art pen in black. I then applied the top coat and that is it :)
I really enjoyed doing this manicure and love the flower pattern. Hope you liked them to. Thanks for reading and if you haven't followed me yet I would love you to, and please check out the wonderful manis below! Have a wonderful Day!

Hey lovely friends how are we all? good I hope. I have a mani to go with my new blog name logo! I was having a mess around trying different looks and I thought I would do the same pattern.
Items I used are as follows...
Sally Hansen polish in Shocking nude.
Rimmel polish in Too cool to tango.
Filthy Gorgeous polish in Rosey Posey.
Catrice Million styles effect glitter top coat.
Black nail art pen.
INM out the door top coat.
I started with the Sally Hansen shocking nude on each nail 2 coats. Then I dabbed a few random messy dots using the Rosey posey polish and I did the same using the Rimmel polish on the ring finger. I outlined the spots using the nail art pen and applied the glitter topper over the ring finger and little finger. then once dry I applied the clear top coat.
This is a very simple design to do and I had fun doing this :) Hope you liked my Animal print nails mani :) Thanks for stopping by please follow my blog if you haven't already.
I have more posts coming up in the next day or so!

Hi Friends I have a special post for you. I not sure if you know or not but it is International Women's Day, which celebrates women's rights across the globe,
I joined in a nail art challenge #womendaynailchallenge hosted byAnita At StylethoseNails For more information regarding International Women's Day click HERE
I decided to use the symbol from this poster.
Here is the items I used with a list below.
NYC polish in Pinstripe White.
Barry M silks polish in Blossom.
Filthy Gorgeous polish in Rosey Posey.
Tara's Talons polish in Popping Candy.
Barry M glitter topper Diamond glitter 350
Inm out the door clear top coat.
Technic nail art pen in Gold.
Disney nail art pens in Pink and Pearl cream.
I used a White base coat on the thumb and middle and little finger. I then painted the first finger with the Rosey Posey polish.then I applied the Barry M silks to the ring finger. When dry I then started with the thumb and used the Pink nail art pen to draw the symbol. I then made some heart shapes. I then used the same nail art pen and did some swirls on the first finger and then used the Cream nail art pen and did some dots. The middle finger I again used the Pink pen to do some dots to make a heart shape.then took the cream pen and did some dots along the nail tip. The ring finger I copied the Gold bow from the Barry M polish bottle as I thought it looked pretty.so I draw the bow with the Gold pen. The little finger I simply gave it 1 coat of Popping Candy. I applied 1 coat over the thumb of the Barry M glitter topper then when all the nails was dry I applied my out the door top coat.
All done! I hope you enjoy this mani and if you haven't followed me please do. Check out the challenge facebook page if you want to join in.click HERE More posts coming up shortly. Have a fabulous Weekend! Happy Women's Day! ♡Dawn♡
