Small Black Flowers That Grow In The Sky

This look is a really nice option for you if you have a wedding or a formal occasion to go to and you don't want to do the usual solid color nails or the typical French manicure. I especially like it because it's really simple to expand this look to a pedicure too. The pale pink makes this a very chic look, and the silhouette-type flower gives it a bit of a French ballerina feel to it. I don't know if anyone else gets that sort of feeling to this look, or if it's just me, but I think it's a cute sentiment.

To get this look, first apply one coat of NK's Calcium Gel, followed by two coats of Essie's Neo-Whimsical. In this design, only one finger was used for the flower, but you can alter this to have more than one finger to have the flower or put multiple flowers. It's a really versatile design actually. For the flower, I used Sinful Colors Professional's Black On Black and a very thin brush to do a multi-stroke flower, which means that the flower is not made out of linked strokes; most of the strokes are separated by a hairline space just to get a sort of flower silhouette rather than an actual super detailed flower. After the flower dries, apply two layers of NK's Blue Diamond Top Coat.

Have a good night everyone!
