This guest manicure features Zara. I was inspired by this Oriental patterned maxi skirt she was wearing at the time, and here's my interpretation of the pattern. Wished I took a photo of the skirt to show you.
Here is a closer look:
Lacquer Used:
Base Colour: Revlon 040 Fushia Fever 2 coats Flower Colour: Nail Art Pen Baby Pink 1 coat Rose Highlight Colour: Nail Art Pen Electric Purple 1 coat Flower Centres: China Glaze 80832 Solar Power 1 coat Leaves Colour: Nail Art Pen Bright Green 1 coat White Flowers on Thumb: Nail Art Pen
White 1 coat Topcoats: Seche Vite 83005 Dry Fast Top Coat 1 coat
Application for Revlon Fushia Fever is great, 2 coats leave even and good coverage. Perfect Spring/Summer colour! Colour is vibrant but not neon, if you're into pinks, this is a colour for you.
I added little flowers on inner corner of the nail near the cuticles. Ring finger I did a rose and thumb I freehanded a chrysanthemum flower with two little white flowers next to it. I also added a yellow rhinestone in the middle of the chrysanthemum flower.
This is a great manicure to brighten up the cold and dark Winter-like days we've been having over in the UK.
P.S. Also, I'm planning to have a giveaway in a couple weeks, so watch this space!
What do you think? What inspires you? How do you get inspired?

I really like that rose on the ring finger! Great job! And that's so cool to have a manicure inspired from a skirt, I really suck in nail designs...
Thank you! It's actually not so hard with the nail art pens and a steady hand. I'm trying to get Zara to send me a photo of her skirt so you can see the original inspiration.
