More one stroke flower nails

Hi everyone :) You may remember my base glitter sandwich manicure from a previous post. I used OPI My vampire is buff and created the glitter sandwich with OPI Polka.com and Flormar #20. I decided to create a one stroke flower nail art look aver it using some acrylic paint but wasn't too sure about the end result. Which is partly why it took me so long to publish this post :P

I'm not 100% liking the way the flowers came out; my one stroke painting definitely needs more practice. Have you tried this technique before?

Thanks for reading.

Another attempt at one stroke flower nail art

Helloooooooo! I loved my last attempt at the one stroke flower technique so much I decided to give it another go. However, I'm not sure I love it as much this time, maybe I should stick with the basic technique first :P

I started with two coats of the awesome OPI Uh-oh roll down the window. I really think it's become my favourite green now! :D I then used my acrylic paint to try out a different flower pattern with the one stroke technique.

It may be the colour combination or it may be the flower - I'm still trying to work out why I don't love this as much :P But anyway, I'll keep experimenting with this technique.

What do you think of my attempt?

Thanks for dropping by.

One stroke flower nail art

Hello everyone~One nail art technique I have always wanted to try out was the one stroke flower. After playing around with some acrylic paint from Born Pretty Store, I decided to give this technique a shot. I think this was an okay attempt for a first time, but there's definitely plenty of room for improvement :)

I started off with two coats of Misa Office polish-tics, then used acrylic paint for the flowers. You definitely need to be patient and wait for your base colour to be entirely dry before moving onto the flowers or you'll just end up dragging the polish with your flower strokes.

Have you tried this technique before? What do you think of it?

Thanks for reading!
