Hello everyone!
The tree is inspired by Robin Moses. I learned how to paint a tree in the snow from her Christmas tree nail art tutorial. Only it's not Christmas. We are just out for a walk by the the forest. It's a regular winter day, a long long time ago. The sun is going down, making a beautiful yellow sunset sky, and the horse is eager to get home... This is what I try to fit into these nails, after being given this months Polish Days theme; "Back to Nature"
If you want information about Polish Days and how to join in, just click on the Polish Days badge :-)
These nails are made by a mix of different techniques; some freehand painting (tree, snow, hare, fox), some stamping (horse), and some sponging (sunset). I used a base of nail polish, and painted with acrylic paint. I was not sure if I should paint the fox, or something else, or just change the snow on my pinky. I included two photos from before the fox was painted too. So now you can see what you like best. What would you have done with the pinky?
List of what I used:
Nail polish:
Gina Tricot: #Aspen Gold (yellow)
Gosh: #001 Lavender Love (blue)
Gosh: #598 Bubble Gum (pink)
OPI: My Boyfriend Scales Walls (white)
Konad: Special Polish Black (black for stamping)
Acrylic paint:
white, black, sap green, emerald green, burnt sienna
Sponge
Tiny round brush
Dotting tool
Palette
Acetone and Q- tips to clean the stamping equipment
Stamper and scraper from KKCenteHK (mine is plastic)
Stamping plate: N.NAIL stamping plate SPPMB114 from KKCenterHk. But the stamping plate is labelled B114.
If you want to buy something from KKCenterHk, you will get 10% off with the coupon code Nailphotos by Lani.
After watching Les Miserable, a commercial with a winter setting, and very beautiful sunsets lately, it wasn't difficult to get inspired. I must say I admire people like Bear Grylls and the couple from Man Woman Wild, who travel to different parts of the world and manage to survive alone out in the nature. Although they have tried to teach us all of their tricks, the most important thing I realised/ learned is that I will probably not manage to survive without modern equipment and a house. Even they had to give up, and call their team of helpers a few times... So I have become much more careful, so that I don't get lost or something.
Now I'm very curious about all the other participants nails! You can find their thumbnails with links to their posts below!
